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!
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 😂
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.
Is anyone not going to mention how one person said it was a 3 speed auto with a c4 tranny? And then the next said four speed; which is correct. But also in the part when there testing the decibels down the highway it has a manual tranny when they said it was automatic😂
Yeah, I just assumed they shimmed the stud or something, but left it off camera. Or we saw wrong. 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.
I just bought a '66 Mustang and I would like to do this conversion, Can you send me the list of components you used and the company's that sell them. Please
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.
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.
I had to add some kind of insulation under the hood of my 59 custom 300. I glued it up and it was dark yellow is all I remember. Still noisy and I froze at 30 deg F on 3 hour trips,. Nobody could fix the heater. Next and last Ford was a 69 Mach one. Could not maintaining front end alignment. Fix or repair daily is true.
Just curious, if i went to a chevy camaro place and wanted the seventy style engine like the one you showed us in the video, can i find a current car with it or can i have sp ordered, if so, is it cheaper at end when i pick up the car after of course the paperwork.
Im just an ole Rez Mutt that knows how to change the oil and read tire pressure Im not a gear head just a peach tree mechanic not even a shade tree just a peach tree
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.
Clickbait episode about a classic Mustang, then fill it with Camaro History, barely talk about mustang. It's allright I guess, we come to expect the Chevy fanboys run this channel, but damn.
Wondering the same. I have the same car I'm putting a 302 in and was planning to keep the c4 but I dont wanna run those kind of rpm's cause im gonna put some miles on it!
70 mph.... i got pulled over by a cop telling me. I was doing 75... i told him he was wrong. This car won’t do 75. Fastest i ever got was 68 down hill. He laughed and just said have a nice day
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.
Or you could use a modern auto gear box with overdrive. Cuz realistic driving a manual is a pain to deal with for a daily driven car, or weekend warrior cruiser.
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.
toot tall Its not anything rare at all, Just a dime a dozen 66. They made millions of that bodystyle. If it was a 67-71 then That's a different story, but its not. The Shelby front end and side skirts are a replica, so its not even original by any means....
@@alexcorona I still see no good reason for all that. After 68, so what you want, they were junk, they got too big and too fat like Ford always does. 69 Mach 1 is a cool looking car, but not what a mustang was about. of course, you youngens that weren't around then just don't know, You don't get it.
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?
Clearly you haven't driven in places like Michigan where 70 MPH is the limit on the highway is a nice suggestion. 80 MPH is the norm on interstate 75 through Michigan. So driving under the posted speed limit is a good way to piss people off.
@@bmstylee that's when the over drive transmission is the way to go, but in Texas we do have 75mph speed limit every where and some 80mph too in some places.. that's why there's a sign "showing slower traffic keep right" what really get other drivers mad 😡😠 including me is ignorant drivers doing under 65mph 63-60 ect, maann! they should get off the road and go to sleep 😴 💤 I don't know how they can handle being sitting in a car for too long + causing accidents slow drivers r a hazerd, I know what you're saying
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. So, no, the Camaro didn't get rushed into production to be Chevy's first pony car because the Chevy II was in production 5 years before and 2 full years before the mustang.
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
