    more junkyard engineering... (reclining stock Mach 1 seats)

    thanks for the memories.. I just had to comment that one of the first mods I did to my non-Ford car was make the front seats fully recline. I did this by enlarging the hole the original bolt pivot went in and put in a sleeve and then slotted the hole and welded an extension onto it. To...

    5.0 Swap Wiring Harness Mod Question

    no problem, I moved the glovebox out of the way so I could get in there, and indeed the area where the heater fan wire goes there is clear right above it. Just big enough to get the stuff in there. Got the wiring all done taped up and installed and engine running. But somehow today when I...

    AOD trans cooler line fittings

    Hmm, there is a plastic sleeve around the tubing in the fitting, it sounds like these fittings go into the radiator and not the transmission!? Must be why they don't seem to fit right! I don't have other fittings that go into the trans, can these be bought new or are they junkyard items...
