Just wanted to say "HI". I've been registered on your site for awhile but this is the first time I'm posting. Great site. I've got an 87 TC that I bought in 03 that someone started the 5.0 conversion. It spent the next 2yrs. in my garage. Almost every piece on this car has been replaced. It has the 5 lug conversion with Lincoln LSC brakes, '94 T-5 tranny, '96 Mustang "H" pipe with Flowmasters, '88 Mustang 5.0 HO motor with the A9L computer and mass air conversion. The donor car was my original 87 Sport Coupe that was t-boned. I have pictures but can't figure out how to attach them. Help?

I am curious. The "94 T-5 tranny". Is it from a GT 5.0 or 3.8?  If it is a 5.0 model be aware that it has a slightly longer input shaft and would require a 94-95 GT bellhousing to work properly. Or you could change the input shaft to a 83-93 T-5 shorter shaft. (Some disassembly required).

The 96 Mustang h-pipe will have to be reworked a little to fit a 5.0.
I hope it is a 95 or older h-pipe. Could save you a little time.;)

To answer the tranny question- it is out of a GT, tag number is F4ZR-7003-DA, 1352-246. The only change is the aluminum bellcrank. The exhaust was "re-worked" the original was a butcher job. The car is 100% operational all the way down to the climate control A/C. I've had it at a couple of small shows and only had (1) person who knew what I did to it. I don't know how to add pictures or copy a Word doc to show the amount of work.

Well first thing is to get the pictures on your computer. Once that is done sign up for a website such as photobucket. Then upload the pictures from the file you have them on you computer to the account in photobucket. Once there look under that picture and there will be a couple of links to the picture that you then can copy and paste to the future posts.

hope that helps some
