Started here;
Got it back tonight from paint....and yes, I have intrest in Lindenwald Auto.....no just a BS truck...Thanks to Otis Peirson and Dan Shaw.....
Next will finish my interior, had the seat done, have new carpet and door panels will do that myself.....adding a T5 behind the 6 Inline..for GA$ milage....
T5 going in....
here are the pics and description of the 3 speed (2.77) trans to a T5 out of a 89 Mustang 4 cly on the cheap...
What you'll need:
T5 from a V8 or 4 cly Mustang, they say the V6 can be used, but you have to do other things....Free from a buddy OVCFCA member rebuilt it for 100 bucks....
Adapter for bell housing....Modern Driveline has it.....about $250 bucks has all hardware needed.
New Clutch disc 10 tooth, at a minimum...I got disc from MD, and a new cover from another OVCFCA member, Sir Loin of Beef....for Free, had the alignment tool
New Throw out bearing from T5 Mustang, Falcon one too small. $15 Advanced
Crossmember...eBay $100.00
I had to change my rear end yoke as B&T in Milford ohio couldn't make or balance that TINY little U-joint $75 and I had to modify the OD and lenght to match old one. using a lathe.
C4 or T5 yoke....had laying around Free
Drive shaft 54-1/2" OAL new $250 from B&T
Roberto & I pulled the motor and installed a rebuilt one at the same time, cleaned and painted engine bay
Mate the Motor/Clutch/Bellhousing and adapter, *** don't forget to thread seal your flywheel bolts, or the back crank journal will leak through the bolts, and soke your clutch disc.
Had to cut floor brace because shifter is located so far back, you can change the tailshaft and not have to cut, S10 style, but requires a lot of work and $$$ and I am cheap...
Had my seat re-done when it was painted, we added a cut out for shifter clearance, I used the Mustang shifter and heated it and beat with a hammer to take a bend out....
motor sits nice...
Also had to cut my exhaust as it hit the trans, I will have a pipe made...
Hood on now and wrapping up and hooking up all the little stuff..
More to come as I fire it up and adjust it all out....but heading to SEMA Monday...I will be done and driving by Thanksgiving!!!
