    Let's see your garage thread!

    Thanks! I still need to get some more shelving up to clear out some clutter...but I still have more than enough room. As for the 3550, it's looong gone (sold to someone over on corral). The 4r70w is actually in pieces on my workbench lol. The damn direct clutch/drum was fried when I...

    Let's see your garage thread!

    Here's Mine. I've been here over 2 years now and am slowly acquiring equipment. My latest addition is a 3.5 ton Arcan jack from Costco preceded by a 25' 100k BTU Tube and my first air compressor. Hopefully within the next 5 years I'll be able to swing some type of lift be it scissor or...

    306 supercharged 450fwhp - Input needed

    Here is how I see it... As long as the cyl walls don't have some major flaws in them, here is what I would do. Take the block to a machine shop and have them hot-tank it and check the decks. If needs be, have them take a hair out to square things up, throw in some new cam bearings and do...

    TURBO GUYS! which turbo for my 351W?

    Here is another one...with a VERY similar combo as mine (same boost level as well). New Dyno Numbers for a little SC Trim - Corral Forums

    TURBO GUYS! which turbo for my 351W?

    FYI, compare mine to a supercharger putting out more HP and torque and you'll see the differences. Notice how the HP and torque are somewhat linear right up to redline? Compare that to the TQ curve shown on my dyno. Also notice how much MORE torque I make up to around the 4000 RPM range...

    TURBO GUYS! which turbo for my 351W?

    I’m sorry, but this is 100% false. If you have ever been in a turbo’d mustang you would know that full boost is typically going to come on in the 2500-3500 range (for your typical street driven turbo’d stang). Compare that to what happens in a centri charged mustang where full boost comes to...

    Tremec tranny install now its slow

    Is there something I'm not getting here? All 87-93 mustangs came with a "world class" t-5 with a 3.35 first gear. If you did infact swap it out with another "world class" t-5, nothing should have changed.

    4r70w Convesion with Hurst Quarter Stick

    Ok, the shifter plate covering the manual shift hole is semi-completed. I'll end up taping a FORD blue oval on the back-side, shot-blast it to give it some texture and paint it black. As for the tranny leak, it ended up being the drain plug was a bit loose and slowly dripping after parking it...

    00 3.8L to a 5.0L enggine swap (plz no just buy dif stang)

    That 3.8 auto trans will bolt up to the 5.0 just fine (and will be stronger too). What you then need to do is find out what needs to be converted to get it to worth with a 94-95 ECU, as there are a few electrical differences between an AODE and a 4r70w. Once you figure that out, the 94-95 auto...

    Anything to replace the actual ashtray with on a '87-93 besides a switch panel?!

    :D It's the perfect location IMHO. With the stereo in place, the serial port is right in line with the lower slot of the radio mounting plate. When not tuning I simply cover the megasquirt completely with the access plate.

    You got an auto? If so, you could always throw an aftermarket shifter in there ;)

    AOD(E) sucks....

    X2 I’ve just recently made the swap from a 3550 setup to a electronically controlled 4r70w (better version of the aode) and so far I’ve been impressed….and I haven’t even yet gotten into tweaking the shift’s with the baumannator! In the end, I’ll have a mild street shifting tune and a bone...

    4r70w Convesion with Hurst Quarter Stick

    Lol…I’m just trying to help those out that want to do this conversion in the future. While I did find some documentation (mostly thanks to you and Click Click Racing), A vast majority of the details were left out. Again, hopefully this will help to answer many of those questions specific to...

    4r70w Convesion with Hurst Quarter Stick

    Well, it's finally completed. I ran into a few road-blocks when it came to re-attaching the exhaust. My downpipes ended up hitting the trans range sensor shift lever on the drivers side...and the ball-flange ended up hitting the pan on the other. The fix? I simply hacked the downpipes off...

    4r70w Convesion with Hurst Quarter Stick

    Ok, another update (no more pics yet). I connected the baumannator TCS up complete with the wiring harness and fired up the laptop. I flashed a fresh tune into the TCS (I'd rather start from scratch as this is a used setup) and re adjusted some of the constants. All shifts with the quarter...

    Reverse Light wiring (T5 to AOD harness)

    Ok, I'm a dumb-ass. The wiring was correct all along...and was setup for an existing T-5. My problem? When I shifted into reverse, I peeked at the reverse light on the passenger side...which happened to be burned out! Too funny, I know! Anyways, for those interested...here is how things...

    4r70w Convesion with Hurst Quarter Stick

    Yep, you can wire up the manumatic feature into the stock cruise control buttons or any paddle shifter you mount up. I'm not sure about matching up well...but they seem to be damn strong in stock form and offer countless options.

    Reverse Light wiring (T5 to AOD harness)

    I'm doing a 4r70w swap that was previously done in an AOD equipped car. Now, the pigtail on the chassis harness is the same connector for both the T-5 and AOD...but the pin outs seem to be different. When connecting my conversion wiring harness from the baumann TCS (made for an AOD equipped...
