    I need help.....again

    This may not be the correct place to ask these questions but I figure that a mustang guy/gal is most likely to try the things I have questions about. I just purchased a 1988 T-Turbo coupe to use for parts in a swap (old Falcon). I am putting a 2.3 in (carbed) until I get the coupe apart. First...

    Bellhousing

    Anyone know what I can get a bellhousing from to put a T5 behind a 2.3L? Would a 3.8 RWD car have the same bellhousing? There are a lot of thunderbirds for sale fairly cheap with the sixes and 5 speeds. I just need a bellhousing that will bolt the two together. One other question. Does anyone...

    Bell housing bolts

    Can anyone help me with the size of the bolts that hold the transmission to the bellhousing. I am guessing they are metric seeing a 3/8 is to small and the 1/2 is to big. I am old (whats this metric stuff) and will probably have to order them to get non coated ones. TIA, Neil Also does...

    Gas line connectors

    I did a search on gas lines trying to find out if there is a kit to attach the bell end (not the end with the spring) to a new line. I am installing the engine in an older car and would like to make it as close to stock as possible. The two lines that run down from the fuel rail are fine, what I...
