    AOD 3:55's VS 4:10's?

    I truthfully would not go through the time & money to move to 3.73 from a 3.55. A 3.90 gear isn't a bad suggestion.

    Another T-5 question

    I found a guy on ebay last summer when I needed to put a T5 in my car, fully rebuilt unit all cleaned up and assembled. He gave $100 for a WC core and $50 for a NWC, shipping was free including the boxes and postage to send the cores back to him. After the $ I received back from the cores it...

    Decided to redo my exhaust h pipe or x pipe?

    ^ Since mid pipes are so common these days it is sometimes easy to forget that dual exhaust existed for a long time without any sort of balance tube/crossover.

    clutch quadrant swap?

    That's good to hear! Nice write up too BTW, I remember getting that pawl off was pain, I somehow managed to get mine off in 1 piece without breaking or bending anything else.

    Decided to redo my exhaust h pipe or x pipe?

    I run the pypes stainless X and I've been very happy with it, I've had flows (chambered), then pypes (straight through), now Spintech (Spiral/chambered) and by far I enjoy the sound of the x pipe/spintech setup.

    How about a few actual diesel stangs?

    Fox body doors

    Any reason you can't just convert the manual passenger door to power, or are you asking about the door panels and not the entire door setup?

    clutch quadrant swap?

    lol, do you know what brand of aftermarket cable you have? I used the Maximum Motorsports kit that came with a new Ford cable and firewall adjuster/quadrant and I don't feel like the clutch is very hard personally (my daily driver is a hyd. clutch which feels like playing a video game compared...

    clutch quadrant swap?

    You can certainly replace it with the seat in place, I did it this way. It was awkward figuring out how to get my 6'-1" frame wrangled into a good position but once you figure it out you should be OK. The lift will help if you are swapping the cable again, otherwise you won't need it.

    Help with 8.8 rear

    I'm confused, you say you went to put new lowers in but the bolt hole is slightly off...then you ask if you should loosen the lowers too?

    Fox is totaled hit head on

    That really sucks but I am glad you both are OK. I won't try hounding you about parts until you decide what you're doing with the car LOL.

    Have you swapped a T56 into a Fox? Come on in

    So the FRPP T56 comes with a 10 spline input? I would probably upgrade to 26 spline after investing that much into the whole setup personally.

    She's whipped back into shape again (pics)

    That car looks great, interior reminds me of mine even the white shift knob.

    Am I messed up for this?

    It's not like these people can't go buy their own fox...they aren't rare?

    looking to do a budget engine build

    You've mentioned the big ones, other than that if it's a nice running motor you solve any of the oil consumption issues with the current motor you've got in the car (hopefully) for not too much money (I've seen complete explorer gt40 setups for well under $1k with all accessories still attached...

    looking to do a budget engine build

    I was going to ask why a short block, is there something wrong with the stock setup that is in the car? If not I'd scratch that and focus on quality matching heads/intake/cam instead.

    New to the 5.0

    I'd recommend 3.55 gears if you plan on driving it on the street mostly, definitely full exhaust and subframe connectors.

    AutoMeter Tach (where to mount)

    I wouldn't mount it on the dash either unless it's a legit race car, never looks good in my opinion. The gauge cluster myslo50 is referring to is the florida5.0 or MC-Machine gauge cluster conversions, pricey but very nice.

    ? 93 Notch, Calypso, Changing Original Color, Should I?

    Nice choice on sticking with calypso! That 2 tone car posted does not look good IMO, the bottom color is reef blue.
