I'm rebuilding the 2.8 V6 and changing the C4 automatic to a T5 in Sunny so that she'll get me to Tipp City on time. I'm getting ready to order the parts I need and want to make sure that I haven't overlooked anything. Here's what new and used parts I think I'll need.
For engine rebuild:
Used Offy 4V intake
New Holley 0-8007 390 cfm carb w/electric choke
New cam ground to V6 Jose's specs
Used Ranger oilpan, dipstick and oil pump pick-up (currently has Mustang oilpan)
For tranny switch:
Used T5 from a '96 or newer Mustang with the 3.8 V6
Used bellhousing & flywheel from a '74 - '78 Mustang II with a 4 speed manual tranny
New repro clutch, throw-out bearing & pressure plate from a '74 - '78 Mustang II with a 4 speed manual tranny
New Classics Instruments Electronic Speedometer pulse signal generator/sender for T5 tranny
Used driveshaft from '83 - '86 T-Bird with 3.8 V6 and automatic tranny (or from V6 with standard tranny if driveshaft diameter is 2.5" to 2.75")
New 4:11 R&P gears for existing Ford 7 1/2" chopped rear-end with Strange (28 spline) HP axles (currently 2.75 gear ratio)
The other parts that I think I'll need but have questions about:
Hydraulic master and slave cylinders (new, used, source, part number?)
Transmission input shaft pilot bearing (new, used, source, part number?)
Transmission mount from V6 Jose/Jim E kit or used transmission mount from a '74 Mustang II?
Used shifter (Ranger or ?)
Have I overlooked anything else?
Does anyone have any other suggestions?
Thanks!
