    anyone know what would be needed to use a GM T56?

    I don't know if this helps but it is a picture of my old T5 next to my new T56. The biggest difference I noticed about the two is the bellhousing is much shorter with my T56. That compensated for the difference in shifter location. Mine came out in the same position. If that is the same for...

    anyone know what would be needed to use a GM T56?

    I am running a T56 but I am sorry I can't answer your question about the input shaft. I purchased the T56 designed for the windsor block.

    Some fabrication on my 67

    Thanks for the pictures. That gives me a good idea how difficult it will be for me.

    Some fabrication on my 67

    dcstang67 would you mind posting another picture of the passenger side monte carlo bar above the blower tube? How much clearance do you have? Did that take any mods on that side to fit?

    Some fabrication on my 67

    I had to address the same plumbing issues with my Vortech conversion. I was able to use the blower to TB tube but had to fabricate my air inlet in a very similiar way that you did. How hard was it to make the brace for the engine bay. I have been thinking of something like that from Jay at...

    Another rack & pinion question.

    I am using a Steeroids kit on my car. the car tracks great and is very sure feeling. A stricking contrast to what all my old mustangs in the past have been like. The downside is the turning radius has been reduced. You can't take a last second turn into a parking space. It now requires a...

    repro bumpers

    I have CJ bumpers on my car. The front was a bad fit but the rear was fine. The front was about 1.5-2" to wide. The metal was thin enough on the front bumper that when I dropped a socket from belly button height it dented the bumper. That was after I tried to catch it and assume broke some...

    trouble finding wheels with 9" lincoln rear

    That makes sense. Sorry for the incorrect info you guys. I guess you learn something every day. Today I learned two things. 1) axle width on a lincoln rear end and 2) 4 year olds LOVE Barbie doll house's that Santa brings. :D

    trouble finding wheels with 9" lincoln rear

    I am no expert on 9" rears but on ultrastang.com they have the Lincoln and 65/66 rears as the same width, 52 1/4". If that is the case then it should be as simple as finding a wheel that will fit a stock 66. That shouldn't be to difficult. You can look at dodgestang.com for a wheel fitment...

    trouble finding wheels with 9" lincoln rear

    I have a Lincoln rear in my 68. The 67-70 cars had an axle that is about 2" wider than the 65-66 cars and my Versailles axle. I always thought the Lincoln axle was very close to that of the early stangs. Anyways, I have Boyd Coddington wheels and had them built to my specifications. My rear...

    Help me decide which wheels would look best on my car.

    I know very little about a few things but I am glad my little knowledge was able to help you. Keep the pictures coming of that beautiful car!

    Help me decide which wheels would look best on my car.

    Looks good to me but you should put the wheels you already have on and drive it a little to make sure the 285's don't rub. Let me know what you find out. When I ran into clearance problems with 285/40's it was the rear portion of the wheel wells (2 o'clock). It rippled my fender lip. That is...

    Help me decide which wheels would look best on my car.

    I don't know if they are good tires or not. I've never had them before. I just think the size selection is not what some of the other brands have. Have you ever seen the pictures of Nick's car that was in the accident? I don't know the cause but from his response he must blame the tires.

    Help me decide which wheels would look best on my car.

    When reviewing tires I usually go to tirerack.com or discounttire.com to read the reviews and look at the options. I would search for 285/35 18's for available options because most will carry a 225/45 17 tire for the front. Here are a couple links that will help you review the tires. I have...

    Help me decide which wheels would look best on my car.

    That would give you a very similiar look to my car. The 235/45 tire is .28" taller than a 225/45 I am using. If you are somewhat anal like me you will always be drawn to the fact the front sidewall is slightly taller than the rears. That is why I will go with 285's when I need new tires. It...

    Help me decide which wheels would look best on my car.

    I to would look for the 45 series front tire in a tread you like. The 40 series may look a little to "tuner" for my preference. The sidewall starts getting pretty small. It would give you a nice raked look to the car though and shouldn't pose any clearance problems. You may want to consider...

    Help me decide which wheels would look best on my car.

    Look at it this way. Try to stay about 26" diameter in the rear but not much more than that. Then look for a front tire that is one inch shorter to compensate for the smaller wheel. I have found the mfg websites to be a good guide on wheel diameter. I have a guide from BFG for my KDW2's I...

    Help me decide which wheels would look best on my car.

    If I were to do my tires again I would stick to my 225/45/17 and go with 285/35/18 in the rear. I feel that fitting a 245 in the front can be done but with much less room for error. I screwed up on my rear tires and tried to fit 285/40's and ended up destroying $800 worth of tires and rippling...

    Help me decide which wheels would look best on my car.

    I've always liked cartoons. Stick with your idea about going larger. You can always put the Cragars back on if you want to look old school. LOL!
