My friend didn't have to mod his tranny tunnel for the Toploader, but that was in a Foxbody.

What are you gonna run for pistons? Not to be the negative guy but isn't that piston out of the bore territory?

I just worked a very sweet deal on a Liberty Face-plated TKO 600
I heard you had to cut the tunnels for the toploaders, and the Libertys.

Its going to be a custom piston spec'd by Woody @ Fordstrokers for my specific build. A 385 piston only comes out of the bottom of the bore .040" more than a standard 363 set-up......

The TKO600 is definately a better tranny if you got a good deal on it. Just don't forget to order a 26 spline clutch for it.

Since my G-Force is a 26 spline I already have a Custom clutch from Wally @ Pro-Motion. Im going to re-use this clutch as thats what Wally wants me to do.

Thanks!

As I told you on SCS I have a deal lined up on a Liberty Face-Plated TKO 600

I have another guy that wants to trade a full built C-4 set-up for my G-Force that I have for sale.

Sill weighing all my options.....

Mike down at www.WolfpackSpeed.com is building me an all brand new bullet-proof 8.8.

All the internals will be supplied by Dave at Team Z Motorsports - Suspension Kits and Components for hardcore Mustangs & more!

Wolfpack built 8.8 w/ welded axle tubes and Big Ford Late 9" ends welded on by Continental Competition
Strange 35 spline lightweight spool
Strange 35 spline axles
Strange "S" series rear street/strip lightweight brake package
Trickflow Girdle/cover
Motive lightweight 4.88 gears

Here's a shot of the cover I picked up yesterday and the rest of the parts are heading straight to Wolfpack's shop.

UPDATE:

I picked up a Liberty Face-Plated TKO 600 and Pro-5.0 shifter for an extremely nice price!

Picked up a 93 Lightning smog pump to use as a vacuum pump which bolts right into my 94 Cobra acc. bracket where my factory smog pump came from.

I bought them years ago from PHP- Pauls High Performance in Michigan.
Im not sure if there still make them or if there even is business anymore.
Its a bolt in kit but I had mine welded in also to help with strength!
