Mark I live just South of Ft. Worth. Mind if I come over to take a look?
Devon90SC5speed, Wish you were close. All I do is drive these birds on a road race track 3miles up the road. When they will run well enough that is. Not sure if more gears are needed in tranny yet. I have to play with rear end ratioas first. I am going lower to put it in 3rd through the S bends. Revs too long in 2nd right now in 95-5 with 2.73. AOD in 2nd is about right with 3.08 rear. Trying 3.27 in 95-5 soon. On a road track I don't mind the clunky 5spd so much, but like most Fords it shifts terrible. I will be putting an old 60s Chrysler 4spd and engine in one of the cars. It was slick shifting. Got an Al case for it. Just need Al heads for engine now.
We did use Camaro SS cars with 6 spds for classes until they staoped making them. Pretty much used 3rd gear.
