i guess the only down side to this project is it's just like a racecar,not worth half what you got in it when your done but it beats the hell outa nothen to do.
Or sitting around smoking crack.

Not to argue but my old best friend had 91GT with a 302 with 1.73 roller rockers and a cat back kit and blew up 2 fresh rebuilt T-5's with world class upgrades then went to local Ford dealer and bought a brand new unit (also world class) the new one lasted 2 weeks and the car only had street tires.

that t5 in my 86gt came out of a friends 91lx.he lost it on some ice and took down a power pole,in the driver door. the tail shaft housing AND tail shaft were broke.it was replaced and runs today,he however has never been the same.

I like the idea Cool40. I had a 69' in the 80's and left the metal off and had a real neat air brush Mustang put on.
