    Newb question (drop-in motors)

    isn't the 4.6 alot heavier? I would think that beefing up the suspension might be in order also. I think it would be easier & more seneible to build a 351w or something like that. I know people have done 4.6 swap, but there alot more involved than just "making it fit", an old V8 make more...

    tranny replace or fix?

    replacing the exterior seals isn't brain surgery, do you have any tools? Are you a DIY type-o-guy? If yes, drop the tranny and replace the seals. Do not overfill the tranny, check the level with the engine running.

    1967 Fastback

    torque boxes look rusty, but thats the worst thing I see, kinda hard to tell from pictures. I'd go look at it if I was in the market.

    Update on accident (pics) and help with body shop dealings

    since you seem like a DIY type of guy (what with the truck & towstrap), I just have to suggest; try a tree and a come-along (hand winch type-o-thingy) Did it to a friends car once and it came out pretty well. (we were poor high school kids)

    Teased my ford dealer today...

    Thanks Guys, it seemed they were a little too stubborn. Now they're sending me thank you notes for driving their car. I think they're harder up than they want to admit, I think I'll bide my time..........(the old cobra still runs just fine, no supercharger, but still just fine) :)

    I think I have a serious problem!!!

    yes, think about it, when you step on the clutch, you disengage the engine from the driveshaft. There is no clutch on the differential, just the u-joints, it has to spin if the car is moving. just reach under there and try and move the shaft, twist and shake it, if the u-joints are bad, you'll...

    Teased my ford dealer today...

    Hi Guys, I went down and drove a new Cobra, and liked it very much too, but was kinda suprised that they would not deal on price at all. I mean, they have brand new 03s sitting there and they're advertising like crazy. I mainly went because they sent me the third letter in the last couple...

    I think I have a serious problem!!!

    sounds like u-joints to me too, the driveshaft can "telegraph" and amplify the sound of the u-joints. Grab the driveshaft and try and shake it, if the u-joints are bad, you'll know it.
