Mass Air H.O. and T-56 conversion done Reply #2 – February 02, 2008, 02:06:00 AM I am still working on the Autometer Gauges so I will have more pictures soon. The car runs great and has lots of power. Still have the 2.73 7.5 out back, the '88 TC brakes and rear axle (3.55 for now) are next next. Quote Selected

Mass Air H.O. and T-56 conversion done Reply #9 – February 03, 2008, 03:22:22 AM Thanks for all the positive comments.Quote from: dominator;201608Nice,so the e303 and the 1.7s work good for ya,no clearance problems???T56 is that a 6speed???Did you have to get a custom driveshaft??Yeah, it worked. The guy that ported my heads thought I should be OK with ptv clearance and I've heard of other guys getting away with it so I sent the 1.6 RRs back and got 1.7s. Put it in straight up. Never did properly check ptv, just like to gamble I guess.:hick: Yes it has 6 forward gears. Yes, the driveshaft was a custom piece and part of the kit from D&D.Quote from: thunderjet302;201643You've got basically the same engine I do (with a different cam). Torquey SOB isn't it? I have mine bolted up at an AOD but I have 3.73 gears. Makes for a fun drive.No, it doesn't seem very torquey at all. It's quite the opposite really. Don't get me wrong, it's got torque. It just has WAY more top end. I don't have the flow numbers infront of me but I think it was 215-220cfm @ .550" lift with the intake bolted on the head. It will be much more fun to drive with better rear gears. Quote Selected

I had to buy the following:T-56 (came with shifter and bellhousing but got the Pro 5.0 shifter)CrossmemberDriveshaftClutchClutch Fork and coverClutch cable (w/ firewall Adj. and alum. quadrant)Clutch pedals (from a mustang)A new gear for the VSS (got a new sensor too)Shift / bootATFD&D sells all the required parts with their "bolt in" kit to make it as simple as possible to install it in a Mustang. I just had to buy all the parts as if I was doing a T-5 swap. I did have to do some cutting around the crossmember to make it fit.http://ddperformance.com/T56%20Kit%201979-1993.htm Quote Selected
