    How big is our nipples lol

    Just squeeze the tube together with a vice grip and then weld it shut or just fold it and squeeze it some more if you dont have access to a welder. White trash engineering for sure but it works.

    problems getting carbed 306 to fire

    Have you had this car running before in this configuration or is the engine and trans new to this car? How is your fuel system configured, what type of pump etc.? The starter should be the same weather you have a T5, AOD, 157 or 164 tooth flywheel. The blockplate/bellhousing posistion the...

    2.3t install in old stang or non stang?

    A TC harness never crossed my mind. I was thinking more along the lines of a mustang 2.3 harness. Is the merkur harness different from a mustang harness?

    2.3t install in old stang or non stang?

    I have a 2.3t that was destined for my 92 notch but I have decided that I dont want to mess with the car because its such a damn reliable little beast. So Im considering installing the 2.3t stuff into either an older 4eye stang or I have been kicking around the idea of puting it in the 62 1/2...

    5.0 Ranger

    Good choice on not puting the F cam in there. Not a good towing cam. If your wanting towing power I would either put in a stock HO cam or just leave the E cam in there as a nice comprimise. It still makes some power down low. And you should already have a lopey idle with the E cam. I have...

    no interest in 4 eyed stangs?

    Anything that will fit an 8.8 brakewise will fit the 7.5 that is used in the 85 and down V8 cars and the later 2.3 cars. The axles and brake components are interchangable. Althought you would be money ahead to just swap in an 8.8 from an 86+ for any real performance usage. Now the front...

    AOD to C4

    :stupid: The original starter WILL work. They are all the same until you get to the later ones that are smaller gear reduction units.

    Weld Draglite fitment question.

    mine are 15x8 with 5.5"bs if I remember correctly. Had to pound the inner fender a little for the 10.5" slicks to not rub on corners but the lips arent rolled.

    tko to c4 swap

    You don't need a TV cable for a C4. Thats only for AOD's. The C4 uses a kickdown rod for "passing gear". I have yet to be able to find one that fits so I dont even have one. Loker makes a kickdown cable kit for the C4 that is an option. And its not really nessecary, you would just have to...

    Vapor Canister questions

    I would go ahead and leave it if you can. I have 2 cars that I removed it and all that happens is that on really hot days you can sometimes smell gas fumes a lttle bit. But those cars are carbed and all the original wiring is gone so I couldnt really make it work. Either way, you definately...

    AOD to C4

    Wish I had known that. I spent more than that on an old used one and it took me quite a while to find it.

    [dilemna] 3k and a bone stock 88 5.0

    Gears, chassis & suspension, exhaust and give it a good tune up. As far as Im concerned, the motor is generally the last to need attention. Of course if there is anything that is in poor repair, do that first.

    AOD to C4

    You will need to make sure to get the "small" bellhousing for a 157t flexplate. They arent real easy to find but they are around. The large one will fit with short tubes but its tight and the flexplate and converter are alot more expensive. I have heard rumors that the AOD flexplate can be...

    The 85 5.0??

    I dont think the T-bird motor would be HO like a stang but other than that I cant be much help. And if the EFI setup on that 85 bird is like the one on the 85 auto mustangs then its **** and I dont think there is too much performance potential there. If you building a drag only car, you might...

    Vert Mounts To Cause Clearance Issues?

    I have never had vert mounts lower the engine. Might raise it a bit if anything since your originals are probably well worn. The energy suspension ones I have seen are just like the vert mounts but with poly instead of rubber but the shell is the same.

    Cam swap/New dist gear?

    I cant speak for anyone else but I have never had to change the distributor gear just for a cam swap. Unless you installed a roller cam in a non roller motro, then you would have to change it for sure. I suppose if it was showing any weird wear or something it would probably be an OK idea but...

    What Oil weight to use?

    I WOULD NOT go synthetic on a high mileage engine. I speak from experience.
