Checking various decoders that means its from an 85 2.3L based mustang. Oops, will this trans work with my soon to be purchased 351 crate...

    security for your daily driver

    Outer wheel housing removal?????

    Thanks for the info. Cant see any spot welds. They must be there...will look closer. I was thinking of just leaving the outer flange and welding the new one to it figuring the extra thickness would be no bug deal. Thanks mike

    OK, good suggestions. My efan is a puller, mounted behind the rad. I noticed today that the fan was turning on after the engine temp was high, so i adjusted the thermostat so now it turns on at a much cooler temp. Seemed to really help. I am thinking it was waiting until temp was already way too...

    C4 leaks... inevitable?

    Some more security

    Just installed the T-lok locking shifter. Easy to install. Just like the original shift handle. About the only way to defeat it is to use an allen wrench to remove the locking screw...just like the original handle. Mike
