    My workshop

    Well hell, I got a '71 Cub Cadet 129 that I dropped a Lombardini 6LD360 in! She became a torque monster!

    aluminum driveshaft question

    I could be wrong, but I always heard that if you run solid engine mounts, you should run a solid tranny mount also.

    New guy in town has a few questions.

    Isn't the AODE the same as the AOD but electronically controlled? Sorry to hijack, just curious. IMO, eff the girl, and throw in a t-5 or t-56 and enjoy your car!

    Alrighty, this is what I got. Please excuse the shotty GIMP image editor work, and the dirty car, it's been a long week.:) '87 LX, original paint, never been wrecked.

    5.0 emblem placement

    I looked in my service manuals, but couldn't find any info on placement of the badges. If I remember tomorrow, I will measure mine off of my '87 and post the measurements. I know the passenger side fender is still original paint, so I will post those measurements.

    Suspension What damage am I looking at?

    New bolt on the ball joint?:scratch: It might just be me, but I would be afraid to drive that car until I replaced that a-arm with a brand new ball joint in it. If it were me, I would go ahead and order some tubulars, urethane bushings, and fresh ball joints.

    1992 ford stanger 5.0

    I am assuming that you are talking about blue (oil) smoke. I would start with a compression test, and a leakdown test to get a good idea of the shape of the cylinders and rings. If all that looks good, then I would do valve seals. With my experience though, if it is constantly smoking and...

    Opinions on a trade...

    Dude, keep the LX. Change the headlights to some stockers, or maybe a full smoked set up front. (I think the smoked would look sweet with the white car and the black top). Screw that GT, I think it looks like poop.

    totally torn

    Swap the drivetrains between the two, and sell the 84 as a running/driving project.

    Too low?

    Wuzzup with your front bumper cover? Also I would jack the rear up a bit to keep the QP from cutting in to the tire until you get it rolled.

    How do you store your car?

    I'm not sure if it was coincidence or not, but the 2 vehicles that I had in storage for about 2-2 1/2 years I tried the blood trick, and there was absolutely no signs of mice. I believe that it does work. My two trucks that I was storing were against the forest line in my parent's back yard...

    How do you store your car?

    Another trick my dad taught me was to go to your local garden shop and pick up some "dried cow's blood" it is used as some kind of fertilizer. Put some on a paper plate in the front floor pans, and the rear of the car. Mice can smell blood and they tend to stay away from it, so when you get...

    I would stick with the fel pros.

    Ugly as sin!

    Appraiser probably said $500.00, and seller just conveniently forgot the decimal point.
