Day 4 - Tranny....sorta

Figured out that the Tranny and Bellhousing is from an 84 Mustang, from looking at the cast numbers  my hops of a WCT-5 were shattered.  It is just a standard T-5 so major horsepower is out of the question for this car but I did find a company that supplied a kit to help ease the conversion from the old Toploader 4spd that was in the car from Ford to the new rebuild T-5.

I talked to Paul and they were very helpful with answering my questions about what will work and what wont work in the car.  They even knew that I would need to cut about 3/4" off my drive shaft and would have to pinch the shifter hole about 3/8" in the upper right corner to have the shifter come though correct. 

Also, I did find a forum that only talked about 1971-1973 Mustangs:

Found a few post that did help with the Tranny but also found a lot of post to help me see what an original one looks like.

Day 3 - Engine bay time!

Cleaned out the inside of the car and found a lot of new parts for it, for this moment I am working on the engine and tranny.  Had to buy : New starter for a 84 Mustang, plugs, plug wires, solenoid switch, new battery connectors, fuel line, fittings for fuel pump, fuel filter.  The wiring looks good so far in the engine compartment except for the solenoid, had two wires with shorts in them.  They came fused from Ford but..... just for a quick fix I cut the fuse out and straight wired them to the solenoid.  I have not figured out why the key won't turn the engine over but I did get the engine to turn over at the solenoid.  I can't start it because I am still waiting on the fuel tank (75.00 on Ebay) and the sending unit (18.00 on Ebay) to arrive in the mail.  So far everything is looking good, the engine turns over easy.

Day 2, car cleanout...

Got a lot of parts for the car inside it but need to dig my way inside so I can see what I have, this car is a 1973 Mustang Grande.  They took the top off it (yea! I hated them anyway). 

Day 1, Get the car home

Here is getting the car to the house and in the driveway....It looks like I had someone riding my bumper the entire way to the house whenever I would look up.
