Mustang Sally Restoration: 306ci 5.0 mated to the T-5z Close Ratio Trans

 Progress continues and things are getting pretty serious. The longblock is complete and the accessories are installed, water and oil pump, clutch, bellhousing and the brand new T-5z close ratio 5 speed manual transmission.


The engine and trans are looking great!!! The T5z is brand new from Moderndriveline.com! 


Here it is after getting the oil pan, filter and water pump, and lower intake manifold installed. Note the repainted shorty equal length headers. It looks great and ready to rock!


The brand new McLeod clutch and resurfaced steel flywheel are in and ready for the bellhousing next...



Fresh NGK spark plugs with some anti-seize and torqued down to 18 ft-lbs.

The plan is to meet up at the Tehachapi Hechtspeed Garage to get this bad boy into the 1994 Mustang engine bay. Can't wait!!! More pics and vids to come.
