    Nice work. I’m still jealous of that lift! Wish I had the room for one. I’ll be there soon enough with project 91 trans install and also pulling engine out of the Cobra over winter to tackle a few things. The trick to installing the T5 or any manual is to have a helper depress the clutch fork while you push the trans into the pilot bearing… goes in like butter vs otherwise fighting it.

      Darn rear oil pan seal leaks and I’ve attempted to RTV it to no avail. Rear main is bone dry. Installing a new Moroso oil pan with billet ends. Also wanna clean up some parts that got overspray from when I painted the car. Plan on spraying engine bay while I’m in there and install a MM K member while I’m at it. Already have all of their other suspension components and could use the extra room for getting to plugs and so forth. Will shoot you some pics of ‘91.

    As usual an excellent video. Based on the oil flow you showed us on the plate I am leaning towards intake. Not saying the rear main is innocent. This is one of those times an electric oil pump would be handy. Then you could pressurize the system without running the engine.

    I've got an 89 Mustang that I was able to do the 4c to 5.0 swap about 13 years ago. I swapped out everything that was 5.0 related so I completely understand a lot of stuff that you mentioned in this video. As of right now I've been going through this car to restore it and I've been working on it for about 5 years now. I decided to go with a carburetor this time around the biggest problem I have is I want to keep my AC so it seems to me that I'm going to have to keep the computer do you know if there's a way around this?

      @@xonsightx sounds like a great project. If you are referring to stepping the idle up when you turn it on and cutting it off at high rpm I think you will need a computer of some sort.
