Just ordered my last big piece.... the 28 oz. harmonic balancer. Luckily Ford ran the one I need from 68 to 70. Found it in SFI approved form too.

Now I just need a visit to the machine shop, and a bunch of ARP fasteners/bolts.

*** Do need a clutch still though ***

 

Will the Gen 11 mirrors fit our trucks? I've seen some pics that look like some guys are getting them to fit..... or maybe they are Expy mirrors? I've got a set of Gen 11 mirrors I can get my hands on if so.

 

No idea on the mirrors, do you have a completion date in mind for your engine build ?

 

Sometime in the spring..... March/April sometimes is when I'd like to get moving on the swap. When the motor is out though, the engine bay is going to get some time and love. Thinking of painting it gray or black.

 

Huh, guess I'd have to see what that looks like. Your keeping the engine black, with a little shiny correct ? All that would look good, more so in a white Stang imo.

 

After much thought and research, I think I am going to co with this clutch. I already have this pressure plate on it right now, but this disc is an upgrade. I talked to the manufacturer, and this set uses a Valeo (King Cobra) pressure plate, but a stronger disc. They have them specially made for them in Georgia at a place called ClutchMax. It's designed to keep low pedal effort, max holding pressure, and low chatter. My original King Cobra has 5 springs, and this one has 6. It is supposed to handle around 450hp and 500 ft. lb of torque.

any of y'all know much about rc trucks? Like the traxxs kind

 

I don't know much.... my Buddy's used to race them at a track we had years ago. Lots and lots of money tied up in those little buggers.

They looked pretty similar to the Bandit model. They always had a tackle box full of spare parts, and were ALWAYS repairing broken things. I've always thought these new 3D printers woulda been handy back then, lol.

 

Oh for the love of god please tell me that Travis kid isn't skylar freakin AGAIN. Just joined today and has a poorly running 4.6 that doesn't have cats...
