Re: Bucket seats
I snagged a set out of a 88 Mustang Conv. for $40 on CL...I'll have to fab a bracket but they fit pretty dang well...have headrest and shoulder belt loop (but I plan on removing both when I recover them)...they are just sitting in there in the pic...not installed obviously, so the outside is sitting...

Re: Is a T5 a T5 a T5?
Well, I just purchased a T5...and while its not a race to get it put in...I'll keep you posted
Oh and +1 on the hoist for the intake install...I still have one sitting on the ground cause I'm not ambitious enough to deal with it yet

Re: Is a T5 a T5 a T5?
I never suspected a transmission would start a small war lol I'm still toying with the T5 idea...just a matter of waiting to find one relatively cheap and close... I emailed Wilcap regarding their adapter...it's still listed on their site but it (along with several others) are not linked to a produc...

Re: Is a T5 a T5 a T5?
I would love the T5 install...but am having a hard time justifying the cost...if I build out this 390 for UBER fun (hopefully in a short box at a later date) I'll have to seriously delve back into transmission options...I may leave this as it stands for now...it's not horrible...and just try to keep...

I'm gonna guess the only way to know 28 from 31 splines is to take em apart and count?

Re: Is a T5 a T5 a T5?
Truck isn't going to haul anything for sure...I have a big Ford Powerstroke that does all the heavy lifting... The TKO is gonna be $$$ here too...have looked into the ZF, but it too will require an adapter and modification...its really looking like a tranny swap is going to be more money/effort than...

Re: Is a T5 a T5 a T5?
Or I just found a whole rear axle from a 78 pick up with 2.75s for $125...would that be easier to swap?...I've not done any rear end work (giggle), so not sure what I'm in for to swap gears

Re: Is a T5 a T5 a T5?
I think the rear end change may end up being a pretty viable option...especially since I'm not really looking for performance, just a little better MPG and less RPM at highway speed... Per the FE forum (which is a pain to read BTW) the guys swapping to a 4 spd top loader and a 2.79 rear from a land ...

Re: Tractor Supply Company Tractor Paint
As long as you were able to either very accurately measure or mix enough to do your whole truck, you could theoretically mix up any color you wanted

Re: Tractor Supply Company Tractor Paint
Haven't personally used it, but considered the same route...did a lot of reading and the general consensus was the new "majik" brand sucked for spraying...too forever...as in days...to dry and that was with reducer and hardner...google or YouTube "rustoleum paint job"...paint you...

Re: Is a T5 a T5 a T5?
I'm swapping to buckets, so shifter clearance shouldn't be an issue... I'd like to stick to a manual trans even if it means not getting OD... I never expected my FE would compete with a Prius for MPG, but every little bit helps...more than anything I just wanted to lower the RPMs a bit at highway sp...
