Is the rear shock cross member on other cars only tacked to the frame rails? I can't believe it. The damn thing just flaps in the breeze. At first I though the welds to the floor broke, but it doesn't appear to have been assembled that way.

Going to be a light year budget wise. I've got other projects that have been waiting patiently for some TLC. The 5A is getting: - Cal Track rear suspension - Viking 16 way adjustable rear shocks - Front 1.25" sway bar - New power steering pump Most of the way finished after almost 12 hours...

Used this with a 500/518 transmission and an 8.75". Fits 4 door F/J/M. U-joints are good and has the appropriate slip yoke for a 500/518. Free. Get it out of my garage.

This has been a while in the making. Dad and I have been getting the new barn squared away and now have a heated place to work in the winter. No more having to freeze in a cramped ass garage. I've got a few things to finish on the car this season and then it's time to move on to other...

@DCAspen Can't attach photos in PM, so here is a post. Moving a tank over for exhaust pipe clearance is easy as long as you have the tank without a vent in the top. There were two types and I'm unsure of when they changed over. The early types has tanks with flat tops that were vented...

Got a 440 Source passenger side water pump housing with hose. Lets you keep your factory small block radiator when swapping to a big block. Little grimy, but nothing wrong with it. Make me an offer.

My wiper motor fragged. There isn't a later model one that is smaller/lighter that will interchange by chance is there? Thanks.

So yeah, had a few setbacks this year and most of them were self inflicted. Was really questioning whether or not I should be allow anywhere near a ratchet and socket set. Nevertheless, progress has been made finally and the car is once again driving. Some things that I have gotten...

Was in a rush installing a new intake manifold two weeks ago and didn't jam paper towel into the ports like I typically do. Guess which valve was wide fucking open out of the eight on that side? This car hates me.

Anyone got one?

My father and I ended up building a set of frame ties today for a friend and took photos. This set was for a Diplomat sedan. The point of this thread really isn't to show exact measurements, but to give a sense of what is involved with making a pair. ...and yes, I know the 'preferred' method...

...last night driving through town. I swear I need to start using a dash cam. I got caught at a light in a left turn lane. This is a big intersection with two left-hand turn lanes and I was in the outside. A real nice red 4th gen Camaro pulls up beside me and clearly isn't factory. Had a...

I'm having a fuel tank made for the car with a fuel pump and baffling for the EFI, so, don't need the tank. It was replaced 15 years ago and still looks like new due to the car never seeing winter. If you can come and get it, it's yours. I'm probably going to keep the sender as I had modified...

You guys think stainless E body exhaust tips would look good on the back of the 5A? Always wanted to do this.

Is there any difference in the pedal ratio between power and manual brake cars? I've seen F body cars with factory manual brakes. Thanks!

It's that time of year again for another project thread. Going to be a short list this year, but not cheap. Finalize the disc brake upgrades New custom fuel tank with in-tank pump Redo the front of the motors cooling setup Finish the exhaust Currently the car has rear disc using a Ford...

Finally getting around to putting together a build thread for my Dad's car. It's got a really nutty story of how my Dad came to own with a lot of stupid luck and coincident rolled into it. If you're more into the build then scroll down past this next part towards the photos. I was a regular...

Contemplating a hydro boost swap on my car. Does anyone have the dimensions of the four studs on the back of the brake booster that mount through the firewall? I'm wondering if any of the pre-made adapter plates for older Mopars will be the correct dimension or if I'll have to make my own...

These are the pivot bars that have a built in offset for more adjustment when performing an alignment. Includes new upper control arm bushings. These were made to compensate for the sagging K frame issue. I went with tubular upper arms and don't need these. Never been installed and go for...

Looking for a driver's side spindle. Doesn't have to be a nice. This is going to be used for mock up on an 11.75" rotor. Going to try and make my own caliper brackets to allow for using late model, inexpensive calipers to update the front brakes without spending stupid amounts of money on an...

Anyone have one laying around? I need to know what kind of end is on the side that threads into the pump. Is it an inverted flare? I can't remember and don't really want to drain the power steering pump all over my garage floor to find out. :eek::eek:

Anyone have a diagram outlining the factory brake line routing? I'm plumbing the discs on the Dana and I'm trying to figure out where the lines are supposed to go. I modified them 15 years ago when I swapped the 8.75" in to get the brake tee on the axle to reach. Can't figure out how to put...

I've got a 12" sub in a box in the trunk now and and not having any trunk space is starting to irritate me. I like my bumps though, so the sub can't go. What I'm thinking is replacing the torsion bars for the deck lid with gas shocks to make room to properly place enclosures under the rear...

Anyone know what this is? I know it isn't a Mopar, or at least one I'm familiar with.

Posting in general since it's a Ford. :eek: Twenty years ago my grandfather gave me his 1992 F-150. Nothing special as it's just a two wheel drive , extend cab, 300 I6, E4OD, 8.8 rear stripper truck. I've kept it though and it has a considerable amount of sentimental value. With the Fifth...
