UNGN - thanks so much for this list! I just got mu 87 Monte running after last year's winter project - installing a T5 Tremec. Love the car but the steering and suspension is sloppy. Upgrading all of these parts is next winter's project for sure! The only consideration I have is buying the...

I found the shifter on the hurst website then found suppliers such as JEGS and several on ebay. The base shifter does not come with a stick. Google: "hurst shifter 3916045" Considering the rave review for the "pro 5.0 Shifter" and the fact it's at least $100 cheaper since it includes the...

Definitely replacing the shifter! The hurst does not come with a stick so yes, I will need a new stick too. I found the hurst shifter but after doing some reading, many people like the Pro 5.0 better. Opinions welcomed. Thanks re: maiden voyage. It certainly was exciting! Took me a while...

Drove the car Friday/Saturday and back on jacks Sunday (for maintenance, flushing transmission fluid, small leak in rear transmission seal) It was FUN, exciting to get used to it...next question SHIFTER! I am leaning towards the HURST model 3916045 which does not come with a stick so looking at 53887238...

From Texas82GP Thread: "I bought a set of Hedman 68318's. They are the Elite version of the of the 68310's. " Me, I bought the cheaper 68310's

Thanks for the moral support. Looking at your pic below and what I can recall from seeing the header in my car yesterday, your header is pinned up against the control arm and allows room for the starter. My header is NOT pinned against the control arm but is in the way of the starter...

I just want my car back! Serves me right for letting some other man touch my baby! My friend picked me up in his 87 Mustang 5.0 convertible and I got the bug!

Sitting here at work depressed....car has been in shop for exhaust since last Thursday. The place I chose comes highly recommended from 4 reliable sources....some real gear heads. However, they are struggling!!! I bought the Hedman Elites 68310 and they fitted the drivers side no problem...

Update. Drove car for first time yesterday...not bad considering I had it for almost 2 years. Clutch and transmission worked fine! Stayed on local roads with the open header...it was LOUD It's in the shop receiving the new Hedman headers, thanks for the information! When I get her back, I need to do...

I had a problem on my F150, the wire harness plug under the truck bed, near the spare tire was dirty. Perhaps there is a wire harness on your car by the trunk that is dirty and loose?

Well done!

I appreciate everyones feedback and time to contribute. Im not hung up on WC/NWC, this is just a fun around town, long drive on Sunday car, i wont be hitting it hard. My only concern is, what fluid is best? Is Dextron 3 acceptable in the event some gears are NWC? If so, i should use that.

Some pics

Great information. I will probably go without the NSS and the reverse lights look like a piece of cake. A friend of a friend gave me a pedal setup with the long bolt. It's installed and working as a prototype but I want to adjust it so the clutch pedal is higher. And I want to re-enforce the...

LOL - that's funny! I will drain the fluid, and accept the fact I have a WC transmission. I will also locate the metal tag while I am down there. Thanks for your help!
