I hope your friend is a 5 speed :P
I love too see AOD guys beat 5 speeds! What kind of stall did you buy? If you want to beat your friend, buy a Lentech Street Terminator Valve body! It allows you to shift 1-2-3-Electric OD. They also pump more fluid to the places that the AOD needs it the most. Ian

Probably means that the valve body is still configured in the 1-D-1 set-up. The only complaint that I have with the Trans-Go is the way it has an early shift into OD. I guess it's to save the OD band...no problem, just manually hold it in 3rd.
In fact, the 2-3 shift in my car comes later than stock. Maybe it's the way I adjusted my TV cable, maybe the shift kit. I can cruise down the street at 40-mph in 2nd with 3.27's. All I know is that I like it.

There's nothing quite like the feeling one gets the first time they shred tires shifting! Neck-snapping fun.
I need another project vehicle. Take care, -Chris

Although I work on them just about every week, I have never owned a Mustang myself. Quite honestly, I don't know that I ever will. I've always been more into the unusual, or sleeper vehicles. Mustangs seem to get broken into alot around here, too. I've had 10 or 11 project vehicles over the years, including 3 Pinto's, a nitrous injected Buick, a 63 Rambler, a 64 Ranchero and a Harley. Right now I have a '66 Olds 400 out of a 4-4-2 in my garage, and I'll be looking for a vehicle to drop it in by this summer. I would like to build another Ford project, though. The only thing I don't like about Fords (and Mopars too) is the fenderwells and the front suspension. I guess I like more elbow room. My F-150 was purchased to be my work truck, but it cleans up so nicely, and is really a nice vehicle, so it's become my everyday ride. Being the person I am, I have of course altered just about every aspect of it so that it fits my tastes, but that's just my nature.
Working on a Sprint car team has put a crimp in my desire to have a project vehicle too. For 8 months out of the year, I wrench all day, and then again on the weekends. Kinda shoots down the desire to come home and wrench further. But, the 4 months between seasons, like right now, get's me itching again. Hanging out here doesn't help that much either. You guys give me ideas sometimes, but it's difficult not having a vehicle to test them on. I'll have another one soon enough. My garage misses having oil on the floor. Take care, -Chris

Come on, get a mustang.
I know how you feel though. I started modding a markVII about 4 years ago, because I like to be different also, but was fed up with all the extra effort and custom parts required, so I switched to a mustang. Ive always likes mustangs some, and the tremendous aftermarket support has just made it too hard to not own a mustang. If I was going to do a GM, I guess it would have to be a Monte Carlo SS or a buick regal T-type(did one of those in the past). I really dont understand the attraction to camaros, as they do nothing for me at all. I bet that 400 olds would look good under the hood of a Monte or Regal, and you have a full frame to work with, no need for sub-frame connecters. |

Hey Ian, do you have a converter from that company? How do you like it? Also what's the difference between the 12" and 9.5" and are they lockup or nonlockup?

Well, I was talking about the newer camaros.
Personally, I like the 67' - 69', but I dont like the 70' and up camaros at all. |

You didn't like the Trans Am in Smokey and the Bandit??? What's wrong with you? Every guy loved that car! Hehehe, well, at least I did.
Take care, -Chris
