    Trans is coming out this week, so started and running by the end of this week at the very least, as well as having the brakes finished and clutch bled. I'm just waiting on a buddy to get his paycheck so he can buy my current transmission, then I can buy the correct one!


    Go here be happy!

      Ah i see. I wouldnt get to mad at the previous owner of the tranny. Ford isnt like chevy. Someparts are interchangable from year to year motor to motor and some parts changed every single year. Its hard to know what works without a ton of research. Its one of the big downfalls of sbf's and why most hotrodders use sbc's. Just easier to source parts

        Well no, this guy had taken the trans out of his car a week earlier, and he had pulled the engine and everything. You don't mix up a v8 and v6, especially when it's in your own car, which you're building haha.

                        On a good note swapped my carb and stuck a 4.10 in it. 2nd is now useless 3rd starts dancin at the top of the gear and i spin um a bit into fourth. All with a 215 under the rear. 302 swaps are fun.

                          So you have two usable gears?

                          Funfgan, the only reason this thread isn't updated better be due to the fact that you are out destroying tires right now and are too busy.

                            I have some bad news... So you know how I went through 3 sets of mounts because they didn't line , and my ds was hitting the csb mounts? Turns out my car had damage on the frame where the subframe mounts. No one apparently ever noticed this, but it explains why it always pulled slightly to one side. So yeah... I'm going to be tearing the car apart and probably just scrapping the shell.

                              So we went from 2 v8 e30 projects, down to 1, and now zero. We suck
