    Did I mess up my pilot bearing installation?

    That is exactly what I did as well. It was a bearing inside a bushing. I too knocked it in until it stopped against the flange. If I remember correctly, there is a small ring of material on the back of the crank that sticks out a little beyond the flywheel surface. The bearing/bushing are...

    Did I mess up my pilot bearing installation?

    I installed my new pilot bearing a little past flush with the end of the crank. I didn't figure it would be a big issue but I keep worrying about it. I have the transmission in and when I put it back, I had trouble getting it all the way in. It stopped about 1/2" out - and I figure this is...

    T-5 Clutch Release Bearing - did I do this right?

    Can anyone confirm I put the grease where it should be and not where it shouldn't be?

    T-5 Clutch Release Bearing - did I do this right?

    f8tlfiveo, Thanks for the reply. As far as greasing the shaft, are you talking about the shaft on the transmission input? If so, I haven't installed the transmission yet - I wanted to make sure I did the bellhousing/clutch/TOB right first.... The TOB has grease in the groove inside it - where...

    T-5 Clutch Release Bearing - did I do this right?

    Greetings, Can someone who has some experience installing clutches let me know if I did this right (assembly and grease placement)? I think I did but I just need some confirmation for my peace of mind. A big concern I have is that the springs on the back of the fork don't really do anything to...

    T5 - new seals, speedo drive gear, etc.

    Greetings, I have my T5 out of my car to change my clutch. I want to replace seals and change the speedo drive gear (if it's an easy job). It looks like it has a slow leak between the tailshaft housing and the main body of the transmission. How hard a job is it to replace this seal? I have...

    Bellhousing won't come off

    Greetings, I'm in the process of putting on a new clutch (5.0 w/ T-5) and I can't get the bellhousing loose. I took all 6 bolts out and I think the dowel pins are just rusted fast. I don't want to hammer it and break it and I can't get any kind of wedge in the right place to drive it apart...

    Which clutch for ~400 RWHP (blown)?

    yea, maybe it's a bad idea but I was planning on running my T5 for now. I don't plan to ever use slicks so I figure my tires will act as a 'power limiter' and hopefully keep other parts from breaking. Thanks!

    Which clutch for ~400 RWHP (blown)?

    Thanks for the feedback. I had a bad experience with a RAM on my '69 so I'm not going that direction again. Had to go back to a more stock configured clutch due to crazy chatter - so much so that it broke one of my engine mounts!. :jaw: So far it looks like Centerforce and SPEC are...

    Which clutch for ~400 RWHP (blown)?

    My NA 5.0 makes just short of 300 hp at the wheels. The stock clutch is slipping during hard pulls already and I'm adding a Paxton 1220 SL blower that will make around 10 psi (3.33" pulley w/ 8" crank pulley). I'm going to try to make sure my combo doesn't make more than 400-410 hp (to try to...

    Adding Supercharger - what else will I need?

    noobz, I have an LC-1 in my other car. It's really not needed on an ongoing basis since it's carbed. It was just there to help me pick the right jets. I may remove it from the '69 and put it on the '91 when I install the blower. I'd rather have an analog gauge since it gives more instant...

    Adding Supercharger - what else will I need?

    Noobz, Makes sense. So did you mount your 3 gauges in a pillar pod or elsewhere? What A/F gauge did you get? I assume I'd want one with colored lights so i didn't have to be looking directly at it to see when it goes lean (red lights). Thanks.

    Adding Supercharger - what else will I need?

    Noobz, What do you mean by 'A fuel gauge'? I already have an adjutable fuel regulator and pressure gauge under hood... are you suggesting I put the pressure gauge where I can see it at all times? I was debating the A/F meter - I have one on my other car (carb'd '69 Mustang) as a tuning...

    Adding Supercharger - what else will I need?

    Greetings, I recently bought a lightly used Paxton 1220 SL and plan to put it on my '91 GT. The blower cam with both the original 3.8" pulley (~6 psi) as well as a 3.33" pulley (~10 psi). The car has 50k miles, the engine has the typical H, C, I upgrades as shown below and makes ~290 hp at...

    My first time welding and patching...

    When I fixed my front frame where it had rusted out inside the torque boxes, I cut all the bad metal out and all that was left was the inner and upper sides of the box. To make sure it was reinforced properly, I got a 1-1/2" angle iron and fitted it inside the frame and welded it on. It was...

    new to forum with a few questions for the vets

    Sly, You work at Livernois and you're asking US about your Mustang. No offense but I think if you walk out into the shop there, you'll find at least a dozen guys that know these cars inside and out. Not sure which location you're at but they used to do all the race cars and customer tuning...

    My first time welding and patching...

    Preferably, you'd cut and form the patches such that you can't see any light BEFORE you weld them in. What I mean is that butt joints are the weakest joints you can make. If you can overlap the metal and then edge weld as well as plug weld it (dril holes in one piece along the part that...
