How did you align the friction plate using the alignment tool when there was no pilot bearing in behind it to use for alignment?

Yea. There is no pilot bearing. If I recall, I had to cut part of the alignment tool to help better center it.

To quote you at 2:47, the 5.4L only saw life in the Mustang in special models that we're sold in limited numbers and usually supercharged like some of the Shelby GT500s in the 2000s and early 2010's, 90% of the Mustangs on the road from that time though are powered by a 3v version of 4.6L V8.

You're right. Those do count as economic and yet were still decent vehicles. They just didn't get the spotlight like the Celica did.

@@drivecore2021 It's really interesting how that entire segment of cars just vanished in a couple years. We went from having the Celica, Tiburon, RSX, Eclipse, Prelude, Ford Puma, and all sorts of cars like that to none now. The BRZ/GR86 is the closest thing and you could say they're better, but they are still missing a couple things like those massive trunks the FWD Sporty Coupes used to have.

Actually the last two years of the 5.4L 3v (2009/2010) we're fine. Ford fixed most of the 5.4L's issues by those model years and they are generally reliable as well as they responded nicely from a performance standpoint with the 6-Speed vs the 4-Speed used in previous years. But overall I do agree, the 5.0L that came in the 2011+ is a far superior engine in essentially every regard.
