I have 69 mustang and would love to hear your advice. Would like to install T5 and new 8.8 deferential off a new model mustang ( I heard some has limited slip factory). But don't know which years best to look for the T5 and the deferential? Thanks in advance.

We're also going to use a screw jack to smash in the oil pan to reduce the oil capacity by .5 quarts. This will reduce the overall weight of the engine and increase performance!

Helps arrow as well, less dragging threw the air

Clutch alignment pin drags and catches, cutting off the Kickdown Lever, Release Bearing looks like it's barely engaging the alignment stud, Trans crossmember mounted with spacers on the bolts that leaves half the Urethane Mount in the air with PLENTY mount bolts at the forward end of the cross. Not the best work, but quick and dirty.

@JaimeG88

The reason the car was loud was because the car had an old 3-speed transmission, so the engine revs high and makes lots of noise at high speeds. By adding overdrive gears, the engine can cruise on the highway at low rpm. Rewatch the intro 😂

The hook on the tape measure is supposed to move. It moves an equal amount to the thickness of the metal hook. Push against a wall and you can accurately measure inside dimensions, hook it over something, like your U-joint, and you accurately measure outside dimensions.

At least it wasn't sixteen wheel studs on the rear of a dually, only found to be slightly too short after all were installed, prompting the removal of the wheel spacers (again) to get all new studs. Not that I would know.

The Camaro portion of the feature originally used Rick Bacon for the voice over. Since Rick mysteriously disappeared from the Detroit Muscle segment of the Powerblock with no explaination, the new hosts repeated the voice over duties. The disappearance of Ian Johnson from the Extreme Offroad segment follows the same pattern. I have to wonder what happened behind the scenes to these hosts that I really liked.

@alaneby7384

Why did other people "like" this comment? Unclipping the throttle linkage from the throttle arm in no way allows you to remove the kick-down arm. The throttle arm (which connects the gas pedal to the throttle linkage) and the kick-down arm are welded together and removing that entire assembly (which would involve drilling out spot welds on the firewall, btw) would permanently disconnect the gas pedal! I'm not saying they did it right: wiping down the flywheel with brake cleaner only to - 5 minutes later - shower the whole clutch assembly with metal shavings from the cutoff wheel was pretty amateur. And I also don't think I would've cut it off where they did, but you do have to cut it off, or else install a manual trans version of the throttle arm that doesn't have the welded on kick-down arm.

Replace leaking rear seal dude.

Would it have killed you to put in power brakes?

At 84 dB you are supposed to wear hearing protection. But yea @ 5 speed..... maybe mufflers and cut outs when needed.🤔

Manuals are fun for a weekend toy. Try driving bumper to bumper traffic everyday and I will take an automatic all day. Plus with today's technology in performance cars an auto is just faster than a manual.

So, as the clutch wears, the pressure plate fingers extend more and more toward the transmission. How does a shimmed .105 inch clearance allow for this?

Never heard of a Chevy II? It began production in '62 and the mustang is a look alike that ford brought into production to compete with it.

The Chevy II was the original name for what would become the Nova, and it was Chevy's answer to the Ford Falcon introduced in '60. MOPAR also downsized the Dart\Valiant to make them a trio in '64. They weren't pony cars either they were considered compact\economy cars and both featured a full back seat, pony cars are 2+2's built on a modified version of the compact chassis and only were offered as 2 door models. The first and second gen Barracuda were pony cars but the 3rd gen Cuda and Challenger really aren't as they were build off a modified midsize chassis although at that point it didn't really matter as they were all nearly 4000lbs with a big blocks in the '70's

Camaro. LOL! GM overrated their crap just like Apple does. All hype, and people bought into it by droves. What was hugely underrated was Shelby GT's, hell they even LOOKED better then the "competition". On another note, WTF is it with GM and their damn "Z"'s anyhow? Z-LOL-28, Z-LOL-6, apparently must stand for sleeping.
