    Will a pickle fork really remove tie rod ends?

    take a bfh and hit the side of the spindle where the tie rod goes in.it won't damage the tie rod or the grease boot.pickle forks usually tear the boots up and hitting the top ruins the threads.

    2.3 T-5 Tranny to a 5.0???

    yes it'll bolt up with only a pilot bearing change.the 4-banger t-5 can live just as long as a regular t-5.i ran one for almost 2 years before i changed to a t-5z.i actually liked the 4-banger gear ratio better than the high geared t-5z.

    Is a 289 worth building?

    build the 289.i had one in a 65 galaxy when i was in high school back in the late 80s and i gave all the new mustangs all they wanted.i miss how hard they rev.i would try to find another block because anything over .030 does make them run alittle warm unless you have a nice radiator/fan combo.
