FE Technical Forum / Re: foxbody fe & 6r80 transmssion
« on: October 03, 2023, 08:15:34 AM »
yea i still have the motor and transmission. it was a v6 car with some sort of automatic. i can use that transmission to measure from. still working on the power brake delete than forward to engine and transmission installation. probably need to construct some frame connectors first. the floor pan is different than a mustang so anything aftermarket for a mustang will need modified. this is a slow go project for me. engine is almost completed. if car needs to much interior modification to the tunnel i may just go with a coyote swap and put the FE 427 stroker in a pickup. just seems alot easier but i still want the overdrive transmssion. thanks.

will the transmission fit without tunnel modifications. car is a 1988 tbird. guys with foxbody experience tell me the tbird floor pan is different than the mustangs. i want to retain the floor pan with minimal modification as i want to drive the car on the street. thanks.

i got them home.one ran this summer. it is not stuck and is full of oil. the other has bearing out of the water pump but looks to be complete. make nice test stands for an FE. would be nice to have a neutral balance flywheel as the detroit balance that is in there.

after losing three i opted for his cam recommendation and break in service. worked flawlessly. the next time i used him again. i have learned that you have to make sure those lifter bores are scrubbed and brushed and verify they drop in with no hickeys or force necessary. it sucks to do it more than once. even on a test stand.

« on: February 25, 2020, 08:50:06 AM »
shipping local fastenal in lawrence ks has worked well and i have been very pleased with the service and the lack of them wasting my time and pricing but the last time i used them was last july so i can't speak to the current pricing. an engine had to be fully enclosed to be insured but that is no problem for someone with some scrap lumber, plywood and a nail gun.
