Drivetrain Tech / Measurement request
Can anyone measure the T5 from the bellhousing front(block surface) to the center of the hole where the shifter mounts?

LEADS on T-Bird/Cougar Stuff For Sale / oh dear god
I'd buy it.








I'd sell the stereo equipment, and the rest of the car might be free, lol.  Then I''d paint it gloss black.  I'd even leave those wheels on it.  Heck, if it runs and drives, it's wayyyy better than my current car.

Lounge / why do you love your fox bird/cat?
I have a car or truck from each decade, except for the 2000's.  As a Ford guy, it seemed only proper to pick either a Mustang or Tbird.  I also like to buck the trend on everything, and so the Tbird was it.  Then after driving one for awhile, I realized how nice it handled, comfortable, and that you don't see one on the road everyday.

Engine Swapping / 351/Longtubes/Column Shift
Correct, the K-member is set up to use a different than Mustang motor mount.  These would be Chuck W's type 6.  I have a pair, and after spending the last year or more shoe horning the 400cid engine into my '87, I decided to pull it all out and go with a 351W that I have laying around the garage.  I guess my point was that I pretty much know the 351W with any type header is a fairly tight fit with a stock K-member, let alone attempt it with long tubes.  The 351C headers I was using has the tubes line up 4 in a row, with a flatter collector.  I may attempt to modify these (again) to make it work with a 351W, or I might go with the BBK shorties.  Either way, if anyone through experience has successfully installed long tubes with a 351W and stock K with any Fox, I'd like to hear it.
