The gasket kit is just an off the shelf Victor Reinz that you can get at most auto parts stores. When I had to get pistons for my 215 I got 223...
I'm running the Aerostar springs with 3/4" worth of shims in the A arms. I think I cut the front bump stops in half when I put it back together....
After wiping out a cam and having similar issues in other vintage motors, I have been using Joe Gibbs racing oil. They actually make a "hot rod"...
I'm going to guess 3/8" but I would have to measure it to give you an exact. From what I recall, the adapter needed to be 3/4" thick to space the...
Thats the adapter. It will come in aluminum plate with the hardware shown for $125. The pics below will give you an idea of where a stock S-10...

Ok, I didn't realize there was a difference in the input shaft. Since the S-10 T5's are much easier to come by, that's what I designed my adapter...
Sorry, S-10 T5. Do the Mustang T5's have a different pattern with how they bolt to the bell housing?
Oh, also.....these should work for Ford inlines from 49 - 64 from what I can find. I haven't personally been able to test them out on the later...
Hi guys. I've been off the board for a while because I haven't had a spare minute to breathe. I'm getting back in the swing of things with...
I took one out of a 62 Galaxie. Just had to make the hole in my housing a little bigger but works fine now.
I had a 62 Galaxie parts car that I robbed the motor and squirrel cage from. It looked identical, the only difference was that the cage was a...
That's a good deal. Just do not use that god awful fan. A stock fan moves a lot more cfm than an electric anyway.
The CT car show is our (Rumblers Nomads) annual show. I've made it with a car every year so far, even before I became a member. Now that I'm a...
I got a bee cool aluminum radiator from the local parts place. It was $170 and I just needed to tig two l brackets to the side of the tanks and...
Pittsburgh is about 5 hours from me but thank you. I will definitely keep that in mind if this rear from the 54 doesn't work out.
I have all new bearings, brakes, cables, lines, etc and my rear is already painted. I basically just want to grab that center section just for the...
There is a 54 sunliner sitting in an abandoned junkyard not too far from me. It had an auto and from what I can gather it should have a 3.31 rear....
So the my rear decided to grenade and lock itself up on the highway at 75. (fun times) I'm not ready to do a custom rear yet so I would like to...
I have that thing somewhere. I got a factory service manual so I really don't use it much. I'll try and get some pictures today of what I'm...
I'll have to get some pictures tomorrow unless anyone has a link to the parts blowup. Basically there are two big bolts on the top and bottom of...
Hello all, So I rebuilt the front suspension, steering, etc in my car. I have been trying to get the upper and lower spindle bolts back in...
Wow...I just realized this thread came back from the dead. I ended up getting a universal Bee Cool aluminum radiator and bent two L brackets out...
Nice start. I am in the process of prototyping a conversion kit to adapt a T5 with an 11" clutch to the 6 cylinder in my 53. It will use the...
I would only be providing the kit to adapt the transmission to the motor with the clutch setup. It would be up to the customer to figure out how...
Hello everyone. It's been a while and I've done some major overhauling on my car so I'll be posting some pics and stats up as soon as I get a...
Where am I measuring from to get my dimensions? Do I measure from each axle flange where the backing plate bolts on? I did my calculations with...
Excellent. thanks cor the info guys. I'll be pulling my rear shortly to compare. I still have to figure what this 8" is out of. I was told an...
Hello everyone. I've been absent from the board for a while because I've been swamped at the shop. Thankfully I've secured some time to get back...
Wow...that was fast. Thanks guys.
