Project Goldmember! Reply #45 – October 26, 2007, 09:54:40 PM They look good. That's what I'm running on mine. Nice quality stuff. I was going to go with 1.7 Crane rockers but with a .533 lift cam (with a 1.6 rocker) I'd be smacking my pistons:hick: Quote Selected
Project Goldmember! Reply #46 – November 14, 2007, 10:51:37 AM Here's an update.It's just about done.-I've got the carb off to put a new linkage shaft in it. I needed the TV rod hookup on mine.-A little bit of wiring, and a couple of gages.-Brakes! Don't know if i need a master cylinder yet but they don't work.-Floor shifter. I broke mine. :(-I got a new (used) exhaust system. Hooker super comp headers, Mustang H-Pipe, and two flowmasters. All in good condition ready to bolt on. 220 bucks off of craigslist! w00t.Anyway, Here's some pics for your enjoyment. I can't wait to post a video of her. Quote Selected

Project Goldmember! Reply #48 – November 14, 2007, 11:02:48 AM That's coming together nicely!As for your shifter, I can't remember, are you running an AOD or a C4? Have you thought about an aftermarket shifter? Quote Selected
Project Goldmember! Reply #49 – November 14, 2007, 11:06:19 AM It's an AOD. What I'm really thinking about is a 5 speed. That tranny has been in and out of more birds then you'd believe. This is the 3rd bird that tranny has been in, and it's org. a lincoln transmission.So pedals, 5-speed, and new gears for my 8.8 are what's comming this spring. Quote Selected
Project Goldmember! Reply #50 – November 14, 2007, 11:20:54 AM You need an AOD shifter then, the 84-86 TC floor shifter would be missing a gear. But yeah, do the 5-Speed! That's what's going into my 84 project. I got lucky and started with a 5-Speed car though Quote Selected
Project Goldmember! Reply #51 – November 14, 2007, 11:24:27 AM Looking good :D One question though [SIZE="1"]why isn't the engine Ford blue[/SIZE] Runs for cover......... Quote Selected
Project Goldmember! Reply #52 – November 14, 2007, 11:32:21 AM i may be wrong, but doesnt an AOD shifter only have 3 positions for the forward gears? i understand its a "4-speed", but OD is elec/hydraulically controlled. Quote Selected
Project Goldmember! Reply #53 – November 14, 2007, 11:44:44 AM Yep *D*, D, and 1. The AOD is all hydraulic and the AODE/4R70W are electronic. Quote Selected
Project Goldmember! Reply #54 – November 14, 2007, 11:52:13 AM The 84 floor shifter from the TC reads PRND21. So it's still the right detonates for an AOD. It had a C3 in it with the 2.3L.Guys must not be use to these 4 eye girls. If all else fails the project will wait til i get a ratchet shifter. :( Quote Selected
Project Goldmember! Reply #55 – November 14, 2007, 11:59:22 AM From what I've read, and seen in person, the shifter from a TC auto will NOT work on an AOD.I've got one of each, they don't match each other's detents, although they look similar.Anyone else corroborate this? Quote Selected
Project Goldmember! Reply #56 – November 14, 2007, 12:01:25 PM Taken from coolcats tech page."All C3, C5 and AOD transmissions will use the same kind: with 6 detentes, or notches. You cannot use a shifter meant for an A4LD (4-cylinder) transmission, like those used in 1987-88 Turbo Coupes, since they have 7 detentes." Quote Selected
Project Goldmember! Reply #57 – November 14, 2007, 01:21:48 PM Yep you guys all got me. I was thiking of the A4LD shifter in the old 87 TC auto DD we had for years.So he needs the easy shifter Quote Selected
Project Goldmember! Reply #58 – November 14, 2007, 03:09:21 PM It's d-e-t-e-n-t-s guys.. :pIt will be nice to see that car on the road. It's a uncommon color, and is just, well....neat. :hick: Quote Selected
