91 emerald/silver GT vert thread.

[ChaseRoads]

Was a nice day out. Did the first real mods on the car and figured I should I start a thread. Pulled the air silencer and added an k&n air filter. Gonna go grab dinner here in a bit and see if I can feel the chance.

Car basic details. 91 GT auto. 116k miles. Almost completely stock. Plan to swap in a tkx this winter.

You'll feel a giant difference when you swap in the TKX.

Absolutely. The aod is a slug. Gears will go a long way too

Yep,with the 5spd you'll be like "whoa she's got some snap now". Then after gears it's like you added 50hp

Just ordered the Ford racing 373 kit from lmr. gonna let a shop do this particular job though.

Alright. Just got back from the first drive with 3:73 gears. It actually feels like a sports car now. Gears in a stock car is an
Absolute game changer.

Decided to tryout a set of 06 GT seats. It’s a little more than bolt in, but not much. Still deciding how I feel about them. At the bare minimum, they’ll do untill I can redo the originals. They look a ton better than the tore up stock seats for sure.

 

[ChaseRoads]

Not too bad. I ended up running 1” spacers and they still sit lower and go further back than stock. They’ll definitely do untill I redo the stock ones

Couple of it outside. Not too shabby

Are those headrests adjustable in terms of tilt forward/back?

Inch by inch.

Did discover that the trans was not factory but from an 86 , had junkyard markings on it.

 

[ChaseRoads]

Oh! Forgot to post. Trans swap is done. I’m picking it up tomorrow. After I drive it a few times I’ll post up impressions and put together a complete list of parts needed to go from a factory aod to tkx.

No new pics, car is home. Drives great minus a slight vibration at high speeds. Definitely the tightest transmission I've ever driven. Car is a blast to drive. cruise control works like it should, pretty happy about that. This thing feels like a completely different car now.
