My motor blew up in April on it's maiden spring voyage. I swapped in an 82 HO motor I built, comp cams, ported stock heads,performer, Holley 600, headers. I also swapped in the T5 from my 88, converted to hyd clutch, and replaced the entire front suspension. Cut the springs a coil to lower the front and added some QA1 stocker star fully adjustable shocks. Been very busy last few months. Tried to get on it for the first time on Wed and now I need to replace the rear pinion yoke

2 picture maximum?

I just told you THE way to do it. You just copy the image from the other site and put it in your text. You dont have to use the "manage image" thing on this site. Stand by to stand by, aye.

This turned into alot more work then I planned on when I started. I spent a lot of time prepping the bay and it was painted in the driveway(no garage) with rustoleum gloss.(makes touch up easy). Once I got in there the bushings were shot so I re-did all that. The headers I bought last year and had a leak from day one. When I took them off I discovered it was the weld bead and there was no way it was gong to seal w/o fixing it. Flowtech stood by them and warrantied me another set so there nice and shiny. Had to convert clutch to something because 302 doesn't have z-bar bolt hole. The rest are old parts just cleaned up. The 5 speed is the only way to go IMHO. Got to enjoy for 2 weeks before I snapped the pinion yoke on Wed. First time I go to see what it's got, it broke.

Forgot one of the big day, I'll resize things after I figure it out, Sorry
