    May seem like a dumb thing to do but......

    I want to convert the fold down rear seat in my 67 fastback to the bog standard fixed type. This may seem a strange thing to do but I'm missing a lot of the fold down components and I had not intended using the fold down aspect of it anyway. I'd planned on building a boxed in section to...

    New Engine - FR, Keith Craft or Smedding?

    I was thinking of using FRP's 347 Boss with the Z heads part no. M-6007-Z347 but now I'm leaning toward forking out for a specialist engine build not necessarily in Australia. Anyone had any experience with MCE out of LA? They seem to get a lot of features in the Ford/Mustang related mags as...

    Updated TCP G-Bar triangulated 4-link...

    Lol, I was thing the same thing, for example - if you were doing a head job on your engine............. I've seen this on other forums. It seems to only links on words in the context of a sentence and not individual words.

    Clutch recommendation for 450fwhp engine

    The full kevlar clutch (kit) is pricey at $450 but would probably be a good investment methinks.

    Updated TCP G-Bar triangulated 4-link...

    I'm using RRS struts on GW lower control arms and had always intended using their complementing 3 link set-up for the rear. I never liked their torque arm arrangement for the same reasons bnickel describes earlier in the thread. As a result I canned that idea and started looking for something...

    Clutch recommendation for 450fwhp engine

    I'm in the same boat and not having had 450FWHP before consulted the experts. Bruce Couture of Modern Driveline recommended a kevlar/kevlar version for longevity, smooth operation, and for holding a lot of power. I heard elsewhere that the full kevlar version will not overheat as quickly as...

    Updated TCP G-Bar triangulated 4-link...

    Tim, I take it you work for TCP? I din't get much joy when I contacted them recently. A monosyllabic response to my request for a price and second tech request email hasn't been responded to as yet. Anyway, let's move on........... I'm getting Currie to build a rear end for me. I've...

    Tremec - who can do the package?

    One word Rusty, 'leakage'. Not that I'm speaking from personal experience but I don't think I've ever heard a good word about an internal hydro bearing set-up. Primarily leakage, bleeding issues and seal failure seems to be more the norm than the extraordinary and of course, the whole...

    Tremec - who can do the package?

    Thanks lads, that's some great feedback. I'm still trying to come to grips with gsxrken's experience with Mike Forte. I had to read and then re-read the details and I'm still shaking my head. I'm with Rusty67 on this one as I too tend to get fired up over sh1t like this particularly when...

    Updated TCP G-Bar triangulated 4-link...

    That is a great looking set-up. I'm looking forward to the next installment when you get behind the wheel. Now those pics that you posted of the stock 9" housing using the FAB 9 weld on brackets (as opposed to the U bolts), is that something TCP offers as an option or extra? I think I'd...

    Front suspension

    I'm going with the RRS front struts mainly because we're scalloping the shock towers. I've seen them first hand and the quality is very nice. I can certainly say the same about their R&P which I have purchased and we have temporarily installed whilst we do all the body and chassis mods...

    What sensors are these? (pics included)

    Top one looks to be your gauge sender, as in, a variable resistance device. Bottom unit certainly looks like a pressure switch although I can't make out the brand. Three terminals indicates it most likely has a common terminal and both normally open and normally closed terminals. If it...

    Tremec - who can do the package?

    G'day, Looking to source a 26 spline TKO-500 with Quick Time steel bell housing code number RM-6060 and a hydraulic slave kit complete with billet fork for my small block (yet to order but probably going crate). The item I want is pretty much what 5speedtransmissions.com has here (scroll...

    Updated TCP G-Bar triangulated 4-link...

    Ok, I'm doing my best to follow that explanation with my limited knowledge of suspension systems. This being the case it seems I should avoid the poly bush type links and go with the spherical pivots as there is always going to be binding issues with the poly ends, right? I found an...

    Updated TCP G-Bar triangulated 4-link...

    Newby here from Oz - g'day to all. I'd been searching for some info on the new TCP G-Bar set-up and came across this thread. The question above posed by 68EFIvert is exactly what I had in mind when I contacted TCP recently. Actually it was one of several questions I asked but the response I...
