    3speed to t5 on a 68 Mustang

    by the time I put in my t5, king cobra clutch, rollerized pedal bearings and clutch cable, my clutch was literally so light I could depress it with 2 fingers. IF you go with cable setup, be sure it's routed properly and not too tight, or it'll increase the pedal effort a lot...if you want the...

    a picture of a hump attached correctly to the floorpan...I cut this out and sold it to the guy who installed it look carefully at the center and you can see the original tunnel metal under the top blue piece.

    '66 suspension saga

    damn, front sat lower?? Here is my 66 with an explorer rear and grab a trak mid eye springs and 17's...no shocks bolted up, but shocks don't give ride height. My ass is in the weeds already, can't imagine how the front springs would look. I bought my springs slightly used though, so perhaps...

    Traction bars

    I had massive wheel hop in my 66 after my t5 and crate motor swap. I swapped on el cheapo summit racing bars for like $40 shipped to my door. Best money ever spent. Full throttle launches causes absolutely no wheel hop and just a straight line burnout.

    T-5 problems

    guys, t5 shift forks are made of cast aluminum, they don't bend, they break. I've pulled apart and rebuild a few dozen t5's, and having a purely broken shift fork is pretty rare. 99% of the time, it's the plastic tabs on the shift fork that have simply broken off....those tabs come in a rebuild...

    Anybody running a 8.8" rear out of an explorer in their 67-70 stang?

    tons of people never cut it down, and never have issues other than the d/s bumping the tunnel on huge bumps. I didn't narrow mine..just welded my perches on in the right place and bolted it into my 66

    Motor, Tranny Questions

    there is a computer feed from the t5 to the computer, it's the connector on top of the lid. Don't worry about it though, it has 0 effect on the computer and the car.

    what causes loud clunk/bang/jerk in drivetrain when I put C6 into gear?

    check your idle speed too....a clunk followed by a big jerk may mean you're idling too fast.

    Installing Taurus el fan

    the taurus fan is a tough fit...I did a trial fitment on my 66 and had to trim the taurus fan so far back it looked like a giant pile of crap. I've heard other solutions...one being to re locate the entire radiator slightly off center one way or the other...as the water pump snout is the...

    Gutting Factory Cats/H-Pipe??

    i've got a mark viii my oem exhaust is only 2" thick, as I bet yours is too...that's as much a restriction as the 4 cats are....besides even true dual 2" exhaust is plenty for a little stock HO mustang engine...you don't need more exhaust until you get real power upgrades. On a side note...

    Do I need hardened pushrods?

    cheap insurance for sure but i've built 2 gt40p combo's both with stock pushrods, but a ton of miles on them, and never had any issues....one had 1.7 roller rockers and the stock cam, then later a tfs 1 cam and stock 1.6 roller rockers...and the other one had stock 1.6 roller rockers and a...

    t-5 conversion, cause lord knows we need another thread on this

    I've been dealing with clutch cable installations on fox mustangs for a full decade, and now on my 66 for 2 years. There is a reason why Ford moved to a cable setup vs the original z bar setup. The clutch cable in both of my 86 mustangs lasted over 100k miles on the original cable, and now...

    Front suspension questions

    this thread is interesting...I have 2 66 mustangs and one has been sitting for at least 20 years when I bought it, and i'm still restoring it. The other had original strut rod bushings too. The both are installed just like the picture above. I know for a fact the bushings are original too...

    rear axle swap

    no need to cut, the car will be fine with the offset pumkin... and it's not a lot of work either....having rear disc brakes is priceless....my 4 wheel drum brakes can't even begin to keep up with my mild 321 horse engine.... for my rear I went with the afco leaf perches....summitt racing...

    What backspacing on Bullit Wheels on a 65 stang???

    i'm actually not using any spacers on the rear at all with my bullitt wheels and it works just fine...doesn't look bad either. I prefer to run without spacers if possible. For the fronts I run a 1" spacer..I had 245/45/17's on the front but they rubbed so bad it drove me nuts...i downsized to...

    T-5 Conversion, Cable Clutch Issues....

    DOn't be intimidated by the cable clutch systems...You'll never have any issues with it as long as they're installed properly, routed correctly and do NOT touch anything that gets hot. I've got my cable routed within 1/4 inch or less in proximity to the header, but it's NOT touching...I have it...
