I've seen plenty of threads about how difficult it is to fill the '67-'68 tanks at full flow without the auto shut off tripping. Is this true of all years, or is the '67-'68 filler neck that much worse for this behavior? Maybe the '69 and '70's with their taller tanks (and I assume shorter...

I've got a repro hood and trunklid for my '68. Typical satin black coating on them now - what is the appropriate way to prep these for paint? Just wax & grease remover, scuff with ?? grit sandpaper, prime, base, clear? Thanks, Andrew

Is anyone running flowtech long tubes (summit BIG - 32102FLT) with a T5 in a '68 with a 302. I'm curious if there is any interference with the bell or clutch fork. I've got a hydraulic clutch, so no cable issues. I called Flowtech (holley) and they said this combo hadn't been tested...

I recently picked up a T5 out of an '86 GT. Cheap. Tearing into it, I've learned 3rd gear is shot. Missing lots of teeth shot. The other thing I've noticed is that the splines on the input don't look perfectly straight. Like the shaft is slightly twisted. It may be my imagination. has...

I'm looking to upgrade wheels, and I've seen the Cobra R wheels from FRPP referred to as forged, while most of the Bullitts and Mach 1 wheels are cast. Is there a significant performance advantage to the Cobra R wheels? I assume the forged material would allow them to have similar strength...

I'm looking to upgrade the wheels on my '68 fastback, and I'm leaning toward the current generation Bullitt style wheels. I know tons of people are running the old style (2001-2004), but haven't heard much about people running the later models. I know I will need a thicker spacer than with...

Does anyone know of a site that lists the weight of different style of wheels. For example, 17X8 Bullitts vs. Cobra R's vs. misc aftermarket wheels? Thanks, Andrew

I've got an '88 T5 and bell in my '68 Mustang. I'm having a helluva time with a noise from the clutch area, I think it may be related to cable adjustment. Whole setup (pilot brg, flywheel, clutch, clutch fork, pivot ball, pressure plate and throwout bearing are brand new. Trans and bell are...

What is the proper trans fluid to use in a T5 from an 88 2.3L? Last three digits on the i.d. tag are 162. I know the World Class T5's require ATF, but I don't think the 2.3L trans were World Class in '88. What would be really great is if someone has access to the original owner's manual...

Is there such a thing as headers that do not require the power steering drop bracket? This is for a '68 with a 302 and auto. Thanks, Andrew

Hi guys, I'm in the planning stages of my C4 to T5 swap, and I came across this Ram hydraulic throwout bearing for Ford T5's, Ram P/N 78130. http://www.ramclutches.com/zen-cart/index.php?main_page=advanced_search_result&search_in_description=1&keyword=78130 Does anyone have...

I'm doing a clutch job on a 1988 2.3L, and the throwout bearing retainer on the input side of the tranny is pretty chewed up. I know this is a common problem on the 5.0 T5's, and the steel retainer is a common mod. Is there such a thing as a steel retainer for a 2.3L T5? The only ones I've...

I know this has come up before, and I did do a search, but didn't find answers to all my questions. It appears that the consensus is that replacement upper control arms can have 3 or 4 bolts, and it doesn't make a difference. Did the factory run mixed parts every other week, or was is a...

I'm looking for a flywheel for my '68 302 C4 to T5 conversion. EBay is full of 28 0z 157 tooth billet flywheels for aroun $100 bucks. There should be a link to one below...

I'm putting together the parts I need to swap a T5 in place of the C4 in my '68, and I was wondering if anybody had parts sitting around that I could use. 1) 28 oz flywheel for '68 302 2) T5 Crossmember for '68 302 3) '68 clutch pedal 4) '68 power disc brake pedal (auto or manual...

I'm looking for a late model 5.0 to drop into my '68. I know the 89 - 93 5.0 HO are a good choice, but a little hard to come by, especially with low mileage. I've also heard some newer Explorers had equal or more powerful 5.0 liters. Maybe early 90's T-birds and Cougars as well? Can someone...

I'm considering swapping my C4 for T5 in my '68 with a 302. What are my pedal cluster options? Will any manual setup from '67-70 work? Does it need to be power brake / disc brake specific? How do you identify the right part? If I've got a Fox body donor car, is it possible to scavenge...
