    Harsh Vibrations!

    You can also have a machine shop rebalance your current flexplate to 50oz, too, although this may be as expensive as just getting a new correct one or finding one on ebay. You definitely DO NOT want to run the car as you currently have it as it will tear itself apart in quick order. BTW...

    Driveshaft slightly contacting muffler - solution?

    Just be careful around the driveshaft with that BFH! (I'd move it out of the way just to be safe.)

    Horn Contactors

    use a contact lubricant like Electrolube or similar. Radioshack should have some proper lubricant or at least know where to get some. Daniel

    Anyone running these adjustable motor mounts?

    I have the stock height RM ones (the lowered ones weren't offered when I bought mine) and really like mine. The adjustability was a nice feature as I moved the engine over about 1/2" and back maybe the same amount. No hitting of engine crossmember (although now I have a Delta Bay road race one...

    Autox a 65-66 in ESP?

    I have a set of 200lb-in flex-a-forms in my 66. I haven't autocrossed with the car yet (next season as the car was being upgraded for most of this season) but the car is very predictable and the lateral movement is little to none. I also don't have wheel hop and don't have cal-tracs even with...

    Please describe the behavior of a locking differential

    You have described an open rear. It transfers power from the wheel that grips to the wheel that slips. ;) Now that you have the wheel loosened again, try to turn one wheel. If the other side turns the opposite direction, you have an open or a worn out limited slip. If it turns the same...

    clutch / brake pedal??

    Spot on answer! It's kind of a pain to get the shaft completely out, but roller bushings work great. After my T5z conversion, I had my bushings rollerized and welded (one of the holes in the pedal support was worn oval, so the shaft had play even with the roller bushings) and noticed a huge...

    Engine swap - Intake Height Problems

    The center of the stock hood peaks above the fender line more than a half inch--your clearance might be fine, but you'll only know by installing the hood. You might need to use a shorter air cleaner bolt and wing-nut, however. I think going to a shorter intake would lose you some of the power...

    What gears do you have?

    5.0L, T5Z and 3.40TL and 1700RPM at 60MPH. Great combo for pickup and freeway cruising as it's like having a 3.58:1 rear with a toploader in 1st, but a 2.14:1 rear gear with a toploader in the T5z's 5th. Daniel

    Grab-a-Trak vs Addco Sway bar

    Maybe the Addco bar has heim jointed end links? (I doubt it, but that would be a great mod). The difference in number may be how they count things (whether pieces of the same item counts as one unit, like end links) and how complete the kit is. Does it come with end links? Poly or rubber...

    Subframe connectors?

    Comp Engineering has instructions on their web site (PN C3140) or you can also find them at Summit. :D If you get the bolt in ones, make sure you weld them in, too. Keep a fire extinguisher or water spray bottle handy... As far as subframe connectors, I just finished welding in Global West...

    T-5 conversion driveshaft yokes...

    I used a conversion yoke from Darkhorseracing.com fpr my 66 T5 conversion with a stock 4 speed V8 driveshaft. It was $70, IIRC, and is about 3/4" shorter than the stock T10 yoke I had. Using it, I did NOT have to shorten my driveshaft as the shorter yoke allowed me enough room. I still have...

    Floor Pan Rot

    Eastwood.com I think is the main (maybe only) place to carry it. They are usually pretty fast at getting things out, so you could have it to your door by next weekend... :) Daniel

    Ok, big post, parts list

    Don't forget gaskets (depending on how complete your engine is) and hose clamps. Motor mounts? Thermostat? Water neck? Heater hoses? Battery cables? engine to firewall grounding strap? Also, make sure to have some beer for your buddies when they come over to help...

    I hope I didn't over rev my motor?

    You probably don't "floor" it that often. That may be the sound of the resonance with all 4 barrels fully open. If you go to youtube and search for "dyno" and "mustang" or similar, you'll hear the same thing. You go along fine until you reach around 2K rpm in high gear, then floor it. You'll...

    adjustable motor mounts

    I have the Ron Morris ones and am happy with them. The RMP mounts are the same height as stock 66 mounts. The stock 65 mounts drop the engine about 1/2" below the stock 66 height. HOWEVER, the RMP mounts are now available in a 1/2" drop, so this may be what you need. :D :nice: I wish I would...

    The newest posts or posts with the newest replies go to the top of the page and are more likely to be seen. This is called Pop (or Post) to the top (PTTT). When you "bump" a post as I am doing now, you move it to the top until a newer post comes along. :D
