    T5 swap questions about parts

    I am leaning toward the Modern Driveline or JBA cross member. If I do go to a cable clutch it will be a - Mustang Steve or Modern Driveline but that hydraulic set up that rbohm recommended looks like a better way to go.

    T5 swap questions about parts

    Good to hear that about the Ron Morris cross member. By looking at the pictures it does look like it has a lot of exhaust clearance but has less reinforcement than a JBA or Modern Driveline Cross member. I wonder if it’s worth installing a Countergear Stabilizer to further strengthen that T5z...

    T5 swap questions about parts

    I actually do need new headers. The FPT headers have been highly recommended. Does anyone have these headers with a Rack and pinion setup?

    T5 swap questions about parts

    I’m getting a good deal on a New in Box T5z so that’s why I'm getting the ball rolling. I've read a lot about the T5 or Tremec pros and cons. I think it will be fine for my application. Don’t plan on running slicks or anything. The T5z has a Cobra-style pocket bearing. Yeah, I hear that a...

    They guy I’m buying the Bell from says the fork he used is bent, so that why I asked about an upgrade. I don’t know if the stock Forks are prone to bending or not. So the T5 and Toploader use the same Transmission mount?

    Granada front disc, Explorer rear disc - what Master Cylinder

    While at the parts store be sure to get the proper adapter fittings for that SVO MC to fit the standard size brake line.

    Granada front disc, Explorer rear disc - what Master Cylinder

    I used a Mustang SVO (84) Aluminum MC on my 4-wheel disc setup. Cheap (under $30) Aluminum (light) You have to make new brake lines to the distribution block because the outlets are on the opposite side as the stock MC and you will need a proportioning valve. I used a Willwood adjustable.

    67 Steering column removal help

    Thanks for the link. So if you go to a R&P setup with a long style shaft does that eliminate the need for a ’68 + collapsible steering column for safety reasons? Correct me if I am wrong but my thinking is that with U-joints connecting to the r&p they will break in a front-end collision...
