Are you sure its a 9" and not an 8" ? check the bolts on the 3rd member, if one of them is impossible to get with a socket, then its a 9", if a socket fits on all of them, its an 8" ... > im sure the stock 6cyl. rear wont hold up to a really built > 302. I dunno that I'd be so sure, likely not, but you never know til you break it :) >they also have a t-5 out of a thunderbird turbo coupe.for 250 > bucks. were these the same as the v-8s had. Nope, they had a lower first gear if I remember right ... also some different spacing ... I don't remember the ratio's for sure, but if you check around on the web I'm sure you'll find them listed ... the guys over at http://www.ford-trucks.com//lc/lc.php?action=do&link=http://users2.cgiforme.com/silly34/cfmboard.html might know (they have a Turbo board too) ... > what kind of adapters do > you need, clutch linkage does it take. what kind of money am i looking > at to make the 5 speed work. i was planning on a top loader. but > overdrive would be nice. Well the 5.0's used the T5, so obviously a 302 will bolt up to that ... there are some mods that need to be done to the bellhousing to make it work, but I dont' remember what they all are, again its one of those things I found on the net and probably lost the bookmark to ... I have seen an article done in a mustang magazine, but it was years ago and don't remember which one ...

Hart" Subject: FTE Perf - Bronco II help! Okay, I'm callin on all you FI/BII experts out there (Tim you listenin? :) I've got an 86 from a friend of mine, she's been havin some problems with it, so I told her I'd take a look at it ... well it was really loud on the test drive, really loud, exhaust and ticking and such ... so she took it to the muffler shop where they changed the oil and put on a new exhaust (cat back it looks like) ... so then I picked it up and drove it about 30miles with an incredible tick coming from the engine compartment somewhere ... it bogged once and bucked a few times, but ran okay (nothing to write home about) ... anyway opened the hood and noticed there was a melted/leaky fuel line! didn't notice this 'til I'd driven about another 40 miles or so ... got that fixed last night and the ticking subsided on the way home, but wouldn't you know it was bucking about every minute and a half, just like it missed a couple cylinders ... then I hit a huge hill where I had to hit the gas and the ticking came back, but it stopped bucking ... now when it ticks it runs okay, but when it doesn't tick it misses a little (but doesn't annoy the crap outta me like the ticking does) ... sometimes it feels like there's a valve of some sort sticking (bog, then come out of it in a smooth manner rather than something popping open) ... There's also a host of other electrical problems I'm sure, the tach reads about 2x what the actual revs are ... the Fuel gauge worked for about 5 minutes over the last 4 days, and the temp gauge barely moves, though its not putting out much heat either, so could be a direct relation there ... Anyway just wondering if anyone had any ideas ... I do plan on hunting down grounding wires, just gotta find some time (maybe tonight), also don't really know where they should all be, looks like battery (-) goes to the frame, then frame to block ... should there be a body to block or body to frame ? also what about the interior wiring, is there a special dash ground or anything that might cause the tach to read high ?
