I would have finished sooner, but I didn't work on it for the entire week after the rod broke.

 

Well 1st gear is messed up

 

u just cant get a break...

 

Well I've had a problem with getting the clutch to engage smoothly in 1st gear at a stop since before the rod broke in the other engine. I never had a problem before with the I6 and its clutch. Also reverse would go in smoothly. So yesterday I tried starting off in 2nd gear instead of 1st, and its was as smooth as reverse. That just concludes that something is up with 1st gear. I do know the TQ specs of my transmission are lower than what the engine puts out, so I'm thinking I could have messed it up launching.

 

Kinda odd, but when I drove the mustang yesterday first gear was working fine.

 

Looks like it belongs on a GM product.

 

Well for $35 I couldn't pass it up. I like the GM setup better too, just looks cleaner.

EDIT: This is the one I bought.

Going to my first car show tomorrow

 

Good luck!

 

It was a good show, didn't win anything though. But I was helping judge and park cars.

In a week or so I'm going to start stiffening up the car for racing. Going to order a rear sway bar, subframe connectors, and make custom shock tower braces and a monte carlo bar using heim joints.

 

Well its on Ebay and craigslist. I have 2 people that are interested in it right now, and hopefully will have it sold soon.

Well it might be going to Australia, I will find out soon.

 

Beware of scammers. They are all over the world. I received a check from England for a car that wasn't worth the paper printed on. The ebay user wasn't even still active the day I got the check. Don't just deposit the payment you receive but make sure it has cleared before releasing your Stang to a freight company.

 

A guy in New York won it, I've been talking with him for a couple days before the auction ended.

 

Congrats!

 

I will also be buying another mustang with the money. Thought about a 350z or trans am, but they all ended up being out of my price range.

 

What Mustang are you going to get?

 

Well if he puts his deposit down like he is supposed to by the end of the day to confirm he really is going to buy it, I will be getting a SN95 Cobra.

 

No deposit = no sale. Its back up on ebay and I opened a cancel transaction case on him. That way when he accepts it I can get my $125 back for the dumb final sale fee.
