About to drop some coin on a set of headders. The car is a 65 Coupe with Manual steering. Replacing the 200 I-6 3-SPD with a 5.0 T-5.
All the T-5 conversion parts are comming from Modern Driveline <cable clutch conversion>. They suggested shorty headders to help with the...
Man, is it just me or is that price pretty darn steep for what I suspect contains a leaky chrome oil pan for starters?
No offence intended, just never ever had any luck with chrome oil pans.

Agreed, I have seen that wood dowl blow on on a I/O boat engine. What a huge mess!
Hey, E-Bay/Used parts aside if I purchase new <and I assume you can get re-pop new> frame mounts for the V-8 are they all like 1966? Meaning the engine will sit about 1" higher? Im thinking it will give me...
The car the 5.0 is going into <65 Coupe 200 cid I-6 / 3-Spd> Looking for frame perches and mounts for a 66 as we speak. Im to understand the 65 V-8 mounts sit lower.

The car is still speed density, with the "factory crushed" headders. With a set of 373's behind a recently remanned...
Thanks for the info guys.
I had a feeling the late model cover could be drilled.
2 more questions as it sounds like you guys have gone through this before.
The 86 GT has a brand new rad in it. I would like to use it in the 65. That said the 65 bolts in typical of the early mustangs...
Hey Guys
From reading a lot of the avatars in here this swap is not all that uncommon. Just got a donor car <86 GT 5.0 & T-5 5-spd> and am about to "have at it".
First and most obvious problem I see is the oil pan. Ok, no big deal, replace the "H" pan with a front sump. Change the...
