    Drag coilovers? Are these real?

    I ran the Eibach Drag Launch kit with Lakewoods all the way around on my 83... It hooked sooooooooo good. Also, if you want to do a coil over, you can use the Lakewood Sturts up front, and buy a coil over kit to work with them. Just my .02

    T5 for 2.3 for my Modded 5.0...

    Yep.. the OD I *believe* is .82 on the 4 cylinder T-5 Which is much higher then a V8 T-5. 3.73s + .82 overdrive = 80 MPH at like 4000 RPM lol

    BFG DR's: 26" or 28" for my combo?

    Worked fine for me for many many trips down the track, Mr. User. And I ran them on the street for about a thousand miles. 275/60/15s on 7 inch rims. Sure, it's not gunna corner for sh it.. but it will work. There is no question about it, seeing I did it for quite some time. :notnice:

    Yep.. I used Silicone on my AFR's and they sealed just fine! Make sure to use some kind of sealant, or you could end up with an exhaust leak.. and those things aren't too fun getting out with the heads on the car. :nice:

    T5 for 2.3 for my Modded 5.0...

    Yes, they are weaker.. but to tell you the truth, I my 4 cylinder T-5s lasted longer behind my 83 then any V8 one I had behind it. Some say change the pilot bearing, but I never did and had no problems. I did have one explode on me, but I was runing 12s and launching on drag radials.. and that...

    Speedo gear

    Because with a 90 and up T-5 with the 8 tooth, green drive gear... none of the FORD speedo gears will work, will make the speedo correct. The most teeth you can get is 21 directly from Ford. A 21 tooth speedo gear and an 8 tooth trans gear will only be acurate up to 3.27 gears... If you use...

    Speedo gear

    Take out the speedo cable/ Vehicle Speedo Sensor out of the transmission.. and look inside. You can see the DRIVE gear on the output shaft of the transmission. You will see what color it is, then match up the color with the teeth and go from there. :nice: Also, some companies do make 23...

    Quick question about tremec TKO alum bellhousing

    With the 3550 in my 83, I drilled the ****TY VERY SMALL threads in the bellhousing for the trans, and tapped it to recieve the stock HUGE, and VERY STRONG trans bolts. Just had to drill it, tap it... and enlargen the holes in trans for the bigger, stronger stock bolts.

    .544 lift with AFR's

    No. If you were running a solid roller cam, then MAYBE... but highly unlikely. A stud goes in the same hole, and if they don't "rip" out, I wouldn't see how a ped bolt would.

    weakest link

    The pistons, rods, and crank will handle more power then the block will. Don't worry about the rotating assembly. Forged anything inside a stock block is wasting your money. People that have forged rods or crank in their car will say otherwise, but they are just upset they spent WAY too much...

    .544 lift with AFR's

    Yep, especially with AFR's stock springs. I'd get the upgrade no matter even if I was using the stock roller cam.
