The logo emblazoned on them screams cheap.

Those tips don't have quite enough slant to match the stock tips, if keeping a "stockish" sort of look is your goal. I built my car as a restomod, but tried to keep as much of the original appearance as possible.

I have Borla's stainless tips... quite nice. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/BOR-20122

I'm now becoming interested in putting a 4R behind the 400M (big block bellhousing) in my '79 Bronco. The C6 is a great transmission, but the lack of OD really sucks!

Ok, well I will look into procuring an Explorer 2WD driveshaft. Thanks for the info! Are you folks praising the 4R70W out of a 3.8L V6? The bellhousing is correct, but I thought the transmission lacks a clutch plate or something, making it slip easier than the V8 versions. In any case, mine...

I see. I ended up using a late model '01 Mustang 3.8L V6 extension housing. I have the original 9" rear and a 351W (uses the same motor mounts as the 351C did). I'm probably better of measuring my existing driveshaft and modifying the trans yoke side with the 4R yoke.

Surely, the '00-02 2WD Exploder driveshafts are not a drop in affair, right? You have to modify the axle end yoke to match whatever's in there, right? 1310 joints, most likely for a stock 9" rear. What about the length? Does it need to be lengthened or shortened?

I'll look into Denny's, although I know a local guy who built me a driveshaft for my old Bronco and it's also got zero driveline vibration. He uses Neapco joints so I can regrease things regularly and been quite happy with it. I might just have him weld me a new 4R yoke on my existing...

So what actually works here for a driveshaft and speedometer cable? I've heard you can use a regular VSS sensor and simply remove the plastic cap on it that exposes a receptacle for the square cable end needed to drive a mechanical speedo. This guy with a '72 LTD swapped a 4R and did it: I...

If I can get a 351W with full length headers to fit in a '71, I doubt you'd have any issues with a 302 that's considerably narrower. I used these headers for a while: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/hed-88660 I've now upgraded to Accufab Racing's custom headers. They can make whatever you...

Speak to George Klass at Accufab Racing for the headers. For those who have never heard of Accufab Racing, enter the 21st century. Accufab is well known for making the best throttle bodies available for any racing application. I'm using a 90mm unit on my 750 hp supercharged '89 5.0 Mustang...

Nice, I like the sound of that engine. Please post some specs! Ok, so I finally got around to checking the fitment on my '71 with the new Accufab headers. The fit is perfect. I only had to dimple one small area above the #8 sparkplug to clear the nut on the head stud in that corner. These...

Very good. Definitely interested. I'm running a B&M Megashifter for shift duties for the previously installed C6 and discovered that B&M now sells an adapter kit for the 4R70W as well... so fortunately I do not have to change shifters.

The issue I was seeing was that the stock crossmember (and the aftermarket unit I picked up from Summit) didn't drop down steeply enough from the attachment points to the frame. After doing some research I think the Ron Morris part may work. I'm also seeing that the AOD mounts/crossmembers...

Tried to shoehorn my custom built 4R70W transmission into my '71 this evening with the help of a friend. The only major problem we discovered is the crossmember situation. Does anyone know of a genuine bolt-on crossmember that will work in a '71-73 Mustang with a 4R70W transmission? Also, I...

George Klass of Accufab Racing has shipped a set of 1.75" primary longtube headers for the '71 Mustang, should be arriving tomorrow. I'll take some pics and of the fitment and let you know how it goes.

I hate leaks too. My solution has been to upgrade the pan. Canton pans are just CRAP, especially in front of a Moroso pan. I recently pulled my engine out and decided to jump for a Moroso. The pan has billet steel end caps and perfectly machined rails, so no flex when installed. My Canton...

You need to match your torque converter stall speed to the cam and powerband of your engine. Read here: http://www.converter.com/faqs.htm#stall_speed

The vehicles wiring harness is the vehicles nervous system, so to speak, so any problems with it will leave you in a world of misery. There are established techniques for wiring vehicles (and aircraft, for that matter) and if you're not familiar with them or do not have many of the specialized...
