    AOD LOCKUP vs NON-LOCKUP Torque Converters NON-LOCKUP converter means transmission NEVER "locks up" with engine, which means the converter is always slipping, at any speed, rpm, throttle position...This also means more heat so make sure you have the biggest "stacked plate type" cooler you can...

    Mustang pwns the police

    You are correct. The porblem they had was not boxing him in after any of the spins. The spin when it hit the guard rail there was a cruiser behind the car to stop him from going into reverse. I have seen pit maneuvers done where the car being pitted went right into another car driving in the...

    Tremec 3650

    I can gave you a few places that make t-5 that handel a lot of power. It looks like the 3650 won't fit a fox anyway because of there is no bellhousing. So I would go with a tremec 3550 or A tko 500, A tko 600. G-force makes a good t-5 G-Force Street 5-Speed Transmission G-Force Street...

    Tremec 3650

    I just found more info also "No one that I know of makes a bellhousing to mate the 3650 and a 5.0 together. If that wasn't an issue, it still wouldn't fit because of the shifter location, crossmember mount location, and length. You'd be better off to get a tranny made for a Fox (if this is for...

    Can't seem to find a white face gauge cluster for my 88 gt

    I know that an 89 140 speedo will work on an 87 or 88 mustang. I use an 89 for my 87 and it pluged right in. I didn't have to do anything special to make it work.

    Can't seem to find a white face gauge cluster for my 88 gt

    As far as I know all the 89=93 mustang gagues were 140 and black. I think the white overlay is the only way to get it that way. What didn't work on the cluster you bought?
