my 2 birds Reply #16 – January 03, 2016, 01:13:39 PM I used the same starter when I swapped from the AOD to my T-5. Same crossmember, same aluminum driveshaft..... Quote Selected
my 2 birds Reply #17 – January 04, 2016, 04:23:44 AM Yup, the f-150 flywheel and sn-95 trans require a bit more legwork then a fox setup. In retrospect, it would be way easier to just start out with a fox t-5, but they are always beat to death and expensive. I figure my whole swap cost less then $400 if I were to do it again. Used fox t-5's usually go for $300-500 by themselves and usually need work. I still say sn95 t-5 is the way to go. If my aod ever goes out in the cougar, i figure I could have the swap done in 3-4 hours now.Eric the car guy just did an excellent tear down video on a sn-95 t-5. It actually really doesn't look like rebuilding a t-5 would be all that hard.https://youtu.be/XREsRG9Y1mU Quote Selected
my 2 birds Reply #18 – January 04, 2016, 06:30:28 AM yesterday i added the cost of a 130$ tranny, 200$ 8.8, sn95 5 stud conversion and all the junk goodies i want and with 100$ add-on's i'm at 1500$ total worth of wish list. a functionnal 5.0 sn95 starts at 2500$ here and rolling shell without engine or trans is 1000$, i think i will try to get a 1500$ parts car 5.0 HO sn95 it will be better for me because of the possibility of selling body parts i don't need and having ALL i need at home including mas conversion, HO engine, exhaust etc...

Nothing really magical or mysterious about them, driving the roll pin out/in the shifter detent assembly is as much of a pain as anything... Quote Selected
my 2 birds Reply #20 – December 01, 2016, 09:37:40 AM it's been awhile since my last post or reply cause i've been buisy, but i managed to get some parts to begin with. It's far from my original goal but at least it's going forward. In my list i got a 3.73 7.5 posi from a ranger, e7te heads, HO intake, HO camshaft, SD HO computer, mac headers, 16'' pony wheels, aluminum HO valve covers, fuel pump and i'm missing time to get 19 lbs injectors from these 2 f-150 at the junkyard. And also scored a fifth avenue dual exhaust with dynomax turbo lers for 55$ at the pick and pull, just missing some cuts and welds to be t-bird duals. Quote Selected
my 2 birds Reply #22 – December 01, 2016, 09:44:43 AM also got a 21mm mustang rear sway bar to help the 225/55zr16's Quote Selected
my 2 birds Reply #23 – December 01, 2016, 11:19:39 AM I was also wondering if there is a cam out there that i could use with speed density and no eec tune, all the ones i checked were in my opinion too aggressive for such a thing and the stock HO stick is already a good one. need advice on that and maybe custom porting if there is minimal things a simple mechanic can do to his heads whitout hurting anything :) Quote Selected
my 2 birds Reply #24 – December 01, 2016, 01:02:02 PM With speed density the HO cam is best. I tried one of the cams that is said to work with SD (Comp 35-308-8) and it worked ok but would stall on start/deceleration on occasion. Stick with the stock HO cam. It'll have better driveability plus won't require a valve spring change like any other cam would. Plus with E7 heads and the stock HO intake any other cam than the stock HO cam will gain you virtually no power. Quote Selected
my 2 birds Reply #25 – December 14, 2016, 10:01:13 PM is that rose quartz metallic/ cinnabar metallic? what interior color? i was honestly starting to think that my 88 cougar was the only surviving car with that color Quote Selected
my 2 birds Reply #26 – December 15, 2016, 05:16:24 PM brown interior with consolette and column shift, my aunt used to have that rose quartz on her cougar 1987 back in the days Quote Selected
my 2 birds Reply #27 – January 12, 2017, 05:05:37 PM the transformation has just begun! Quote Selected
