Jerry,

I'm glad you're enjoying the Coast mustang driveshaft as well. I think when the temperatures get down to reasonable (91 here today) you should be in for one hell of a pass!

I appreciate your kind comments, and I will be posting some rear end packages here shortly.

What does everyone want to see? Ford Racing gears obviously with some Royal Purple 75w140 and the installation kit...

What else though? Maybe an option to add on a LPW differential cover?

THANKS JERRY! Let me know when you get your next time slip!

If you give me one, I'll install and see if it works with the MGW for you.....

 

Geez you beat me to it Tom, I was going to offer the same deal

 

Looks nice! Are you going to throw in a rear loop also for people with power adders?

 

Yes, I think I will offer that option to people with 450+

 

I have this setup with the MGW shifter so here's a tip for those of you who will be ordering this kit. If you have the MGW shifter the BMR loop will hit the shifter adjusting block in 1st, 3rd and 5th gears. It's easily fixed by making a 1/4" thick spacer to go between the BMR D/S loop cross member and the lower bracket for the loop. You'll need longer bolts as well. Use grade 8 bolts, 3/8" UNC.

 

Wow, that's good to know. So the driveshaft itself doesn't make contact? Do you have pictures? Thanks for the info Carlos.

The Coast driveshaft will clear the MGW shifter block. It has less clearence than the stock drive shaft but there's still enough clearence. Sorry I don't have pics but it's about 3/4" of an inch clearence. The modification to the BMR saftey loop was very easy. Just a flat piece of 44W low carbon steel about 1/4" thick with two holes drilled into it.
It would probably be best to weld the spacer plate to the BMR cross member in order to keep the BMR loop NHRA legal. Mine is just bolted in for now and as soon as I get the car on the hoist at my buddy's place I will weld it in place leaving the bolts instact so the loop itself can still be removed from the BMR cross member. Anyway it all works well together. The combo of the aluminum drive shaft and that fantastic MGW shifter makes the whole car drive like something that cost a lot more than a Mustang.

 

Impressive... maybe I'll start pre-welding them on!

Is this something ( installing the drive shaft ) someone can do in the driveway or do I need to pay someone to put it on?

 

You could do it yourself for sure. I did it for a customer who wouldn't drive the car in the rain last month. It rained **** near 4 days in a row, so I just brought my tools over. Takes about 20-30 minutes with basic hand tools on your back. Now the UCA is a different story. However, it's not difficult. I forget who had a GREAT writeup on it. I think it was "thump_rrr" from this message board.

Here's a write up on the DS install. I wish I could afford but I'm tapped out right now.

That is a GREAT writeup. However, for a stock ride-height vehicle there's no way in hell you'd need 2 hours. Like I said.... about 30 minutes tops.

That's GREAT information for those looking at the different options, as well as for a good source of information with pictures and install tech.

CR, you don't check in at ModularFords anymore?? left you a message about some FR chrome cam covers. I'll take a DS and gear kit too.

 

Oh I'm sorry Ken, I check it occasionally, just not in the last day or two. PM me over your phone number if you want and I'll give you a call tomorrow to go over the options. Thanks brother... hope the other stuff has been working out for you!

Getting low on stock. All orders have shipped. I have 3 sets left for now, and will have 20 more by Monday.

THANKS

This is pretty **** tempting. You said you could get vibration from a bad installation. How easy is this to screw up? (I've never dropped a driveshaft before) You run into any issues when you lower the car by the standard amounts (1-1.5 inches like the FRHP)?

 

You wont have any issues with the install as long as you follow the steps in the above link. It's a very simple install to be honest. The only tough installation is the UCA which still isnt that bad. If you purchase this kit, it gives you everything you need for a car with a 1.5" drop to adjust pinion angle just in case it were to be neccessary. You'll be a-okay!
