    Yeah i would probably still have trouble with your coupe... maybe i need bigger pills...


    Craig has me nervous with this tko issue though. I have been running mine low 11s for 3 years and it hasnt skipped a beat. I leave around 5k. I wonder if the clutch is the difference? I have a ram 900 series disk and a light flywheel and the lowest non adjustable pressure plate that ram offers for my car. The 900 series disk slips when its cold but gets grabby as it heats up. The theory is a little slip on the line but holds power on the big end. I think it is basically the metallic friction side of the ram hd on both faces instead of just one side of the hd clutch. For my little engine with a little spray it works really well. I will have to see what more power does to my poor tranny and clutch though...

    Application of power via operator and or clutch are the biggest factors of failure.

    I’ve been running a spec stage 1 behind my 2V and then the coyote and while it smells awful I think the little bit slip has kept the transmission alive.

    Got the trans install started last night. Dropped off the New slip yoke and old DS to get shortened up and re-balanced this am, then back to work this am. Pheew, Im getting too old for this shit.

    Im thinking this is going to be the last manual trans I install, so hopefully it lasts a while.


    This trans jack from HF, works pretty well. It rolls around smoothly and adjusts easily with a 1/2 drive.


    New Stifflers cross-member installed and the trans is IN! I will be running a Tilton external oil pump to push oil straight to the main gear assembly via a -6 line (trans already had the hole where it needed to be) so ill need to fab up a mount and another micro switch. Im thinking Ill have it activated with a WOT micro switch, but then Ill also have to come up with a Neutral safety switch.


    A few other wires to splice, install the DS (ready next week) add fluid, mount the shifter, install exhaust, then take it out and see if I can break this one as well...Joys of a stick car.

    My Kindergarten education for using scissors came in handy last night! I needed to make a mount for my trans/diff pump, so I grabbed some cardboard to make a template and went to work!

















    Hopefully, next week, my DS will be ready so that I can get this back on the road. I think Ill leave the slicks off for awhile so that I can enjoy driving this and be able to put some miles on it. This breakin shit is getting old!

    Wow was it HOT in the garage this weekend! I managed to get the pump mounted and started on the wiring under the dash.








    Im no metal worker, but I think it turned out fine.

    I screwed up and mis-marked the holes, so thats why the 2 are bigger.


    Ill wrap the collector with some Heat Wrap to help keep the pump alive, and maybe make a heat shield for it.



    Hopefully, my DS will be finished this week and I can get this back on the road. Im keeping the slicks off of it till I get the Tamer figured out, breaking shit is getting old and expensive.

    Under WOT, the pump will send oil straight to the main shaft/gears via a -6 Hole. Some of the Higher HP guys are doing this, so I figured since I can break anything, Ill take all the extra precautions that I can get! LoL!

    HOPEFULLY, fingers crossed, Ill be firing up this back up tonight. I have a buddy coming over tonight to help me with bleeding the TOB and installing the exhaust. When thats done, its time to hit the switch and go for a ride. Im curious to see the difference in the 5 speed vs 6 speed. NO slicks will be on this until I get some miles on the Magnum and get the Tamer figured out. Hell, Ill probably just wash this season and just drive it on the street.

    Forgot my cutters the other night, so I went old school...




    BAM!!!










    Im REALLY hoping I can figure this shit out as I WANT to keep this a 3 pedal Stang. It would be too easy to slap a PG in this, but Fuck all that. Manpedal FTW!!!


    Wish me luck...
