    will an 88 T5 bolt to an 84 5liter?

    Not sure if the 84 came with the S-rod trany, but i think it did. In that case you need a different bellhousing to mount the t-5. The S-rod bellhousing works for the S-rod trany and the Tremic. If that is the case, I am sure you can find someone willing to swap bellhousings with you on the...

    Just got my flywheel reserfaced......

    Depends if there is grease on the flywheel or not. I always spray down my new flywheels, clutch disks and pressure plates with brake parts cleaner. If it was me I would clean it to make sure there is no grease on it. Mario

    What is the big nut on top of the strut an adjustment for?

    What 89roadster said. Also check the strut mount, (the plate under the nut) and the strut itself for wear. Both of these items will give you the symptoms you are experiancing. Mario

    how hig can you rev a 289?

    Someone told me that the combustion chamber was 60 CC on the DOOE heads. I looked through my Ford manual and it said that my 68 289 heads also had a 60 CC combution chamber. However, I was always under the impression that the combution chamber on the 289 head was 58 CC. What is the correct cc...

    replacing lifters, please help.

    When installing hydrolic lifters is there a certain way they must be installed (or I should say clocked)? I know that the roller part of the lifter goes to the cam, but each lifter has an oiling hole in the middle of it. Which way must that little oiling hole face. When I change my cam it...
