    Questions regarding C4 to AOD swap.

    driveshaft - I didn't have to shorten it, but I've heard of others having too :shrug: After it was put back together, I simply jacked up the rearend up and down to make sure everything cleared, and it did. for linkage.. If you buy an aftermarket shifter and it uses a cable setup, you are...

    Brake swap issue

    I thought I'd bring this thread alive a bit as I'm starting my brake project at the moment. Now, I read through some of the stuff on the master cylinder, and still not 100% sure on anything. So you all know, the fronts and backs have the 4 piston wilwood calipers. It WAS front disc/rear...

    I'm still alive - for now...

    So, I got a couple initial pics of my rearend mocked up in the car.. Not much else done, except that big piece of angled flat sheet metal (in front of where the gas tank would be) has been cut out - it has to be boxed to allow room for the deeper rearend, and I think a watts linkage setup is...

    My wiring harness caught fire today

    I know that feeling of a fire - except mine started to billow smoke from under the dash of my stang.. Fortunately, I was able to prevent a flare up - which of course prompted me as well to buy an extinguisher. But I've wondered - if you are having an electrical fire - sure, the fire...

    I'm still alive - for now...

    It just means I'm going to wait until I have time for a casual project. And once the rearend is in, it will be nice weather time, and any projects that require downtime, such as body mods (painting n such) will just have to wait. I'd rather drive around a fast mustang with a little primer in...

    ah yes, the scoops.. I played a little with the idea of makin em - well, I started to make a mold... But that was more playing than a serious project - half of what I do is just to learn more about 'glassing. And I'm not afraid to use my car as the starting point for doing molds.. I even made...

    Another AOD question

    I will be the other guy :) I didn't use a gauge at all. This was (more or less) my process, which my trans builder told me about. And yes, I was scared too of frying stuff - but just be patient and all will work out.. First, I removed the pump shot cams from the carb and hooked up the...

    I'm still alive - for now...

    I haven't done a lick of it during the winter.. No REAL heated garage - so I can't let the stuff cure.. I attempted a project early in the winter (late fall?) where I was going to reproduce my rear valence (with some mods to it), but I was dumb about it and tried doing it in stages - stages...

    All you 69'rs out there.....show yourself!

    Just been way busy with work and kids. I tell ya, bein a single dad takes alot of time! :-) And my #1 project is takin care of the kiddos, so the stang takes the back seat. Most of my free time is now either spent at the climbing gym (damn winter) or trying to chase a little tail :nice:

    few AOD questions

    I'm not sure how an AOD-E works, quite frankly, I forget :) With the Lentech valve body, you don't shift from 3-4 manually, it will automatically upshift when you reach a certain speed/eng rpm (not sure what the criteria is). But because the bands or whatever for 4th are really week, you...

    Hey all! corpse checkin in over here.. I am still alive - I have not fallen off any rocks - yet.. Although there's that chance, as in 10 more days I'm heading back to Joshua Tree for a couple weeks of climbing. It's been a pretty uneventful winter with the stang - but lately I got into...

    I'm got a 69 fastback as well.. Its currently out of commission, as it's getting its rearend and back brakes updated :-)

    few AOD questions

    something to keep in mind, is the shift pattern of an AOD - which just stinks for racing.. To get into 2nd, you must shift 1st to 3rd and back to 1st - and your timing has to be right. This wasn't sufficient for me, so I went with a Lentech valve body, which makes the shift pattern 1-2-3. It...

    Anyone using the AFS Mach1 17x9's?

    To make sure there's no confusion with all these wheels going on around - the 17x8/4.95"bs I'm refering to my AFS Cobra front wheels.

    Anyone using the AFS Mach1 17x9's?

    My 2 cents... I have AFS Cobra R wheels, 17x9 in the back which has a 5.95" bs; the chart recommends 5.5". I'd agree with the 5.5, or even 5.75". I had to hammer a a little bit on the "inside front sheet metal" of the rear-left wheel - cuz the tire was hitting it. Plus, if I fishtail on dry...
