Unless the transmission was submerged in water only reason for clutch plates failing is if they slip and that is what did in the clutches in the example above. If you don't have enough line pressure or the seals are leaking they will slip.

If it was mine I'd pull the valve body and make sure all the valves move freely. I'd also visually inspect that there is no rust in the pan, etc. Transmission fluid tends to suck up water so if it was stored in a damp area could have some corrosion.

As for clutch material the original ford clutches needed the type f fluid to help with the static holding capacity. Clutch material has improved a lot and on stuff since at least the nineties can run better fluid. That trick shift fluid is just dyed type f is all marketing hype. A good full synthetic be light years better today.

For shipping UPS was cheaper than Fedex. Would be $77 to ship so total would be $327.
I can do paypal. Depending how you send the money there can be a charge 3% of total. If you send as family & friend and fund from PayPal or a bank account is no charge otherwise figure adding 3% total on top.  OK let me know if you want to go ahead.

Shipping would be whatever the actual cost is, but will have to nail that down. FedEx ground likely be cheapest. Will have find a box and weight it. What is your zip code and is it residential or commercial? Give me a day or two and I will figure out the shipping. Thanks Steve

I have a set of mad dog headers. Are new, painted black,  just been sitting. Fit 67-70 mustang/cougar. They have the 428cj flange, are 2" tubes, and the the front two tubes on each side go under the lower a arms. I'd take $250 plus shipping. I am in San Antonio, TX. If interested can send you some pictures.
Thanks, Steve

To allow a smoother transition of the intake port to the head. Was suppose to have benefit mainly on a cold start to help keep the fuel from separating from the air or so the story goes...

I'll be heading to the local pick-a-part next weekend to look at the Explorer rear disk brakes. According to Google searches, they will fit on the small bearing housings by elongating the holes.

Edit for gear ratio

The rear discs from a 92 and up crown victory or grand marquis same as the explorer, but uses the small bolt pattern. You may need a spacer ring for the bearing. Are a few places that sell them.
