    markVIII radiator and fan in classic

    The mark8 does have a plastic pressure tank with the cap on it. I think it would be easier to use another radiator with a fill neck on it and use the mark8 fan with it. The cars that use that system have a water nipple that comec off of the themostate housing and attaches to the tank and another...

    Instrument Panel Warning Lights With Modern Components

    It depends on what alternator you are using. Some alternators can be turned on by the wire that goes from your idiot light to the voltage regulator. Some require a resistor in the circuit. It would help to know what alt you will be using.

    I should have it back from the paint shop in a few more weeks. It's been there since Sept. I'll post some pics as soon as I get it back. It's Viper red but if you have a problem with a Dodge color on a Ford we'll call it Garnes red. The two colors are real close. Thanks for the complament.

    I don't have any pics of the lower control arm with the sway bar attached. The oil pan is steel. The mark8 pan will allow you to drop the front of the engine a little. The cobra pan is thicker in the front. Here's a few pics of the under body with strengthing kit being installed.

    I didnt take anything off of the length of the sump I simply squared off the front of it and added to the width. I wanted to keep the shifter in the same location so I used a t45 out of a 99 gt. It seemed to give me plenty of firewall clearance. My sway bar is by heidt and the instructions are...

    The hydraboost mounting bracket was removed from the unit and the center was cut out. I fabricated a plate to fit in the firewall space to block off the factory clutch hole and welded the hydraboost mounting to it.

    trans issues

    Did he replace both piston seals or just the inner oring? If you drop the valve body you can air pressure test it thru the holes in the case. This way you can rule out the drum, piston seals and pump rings.
