I will I sold the Chevy pickup for 400$ that should get me enough paint supplies and misc stuff.. Now to get them in the shop and tear down and I will post pics with updates fellas!!
I've also learned a lot. Thankful of this site and you guys for sure!! On a side note I've already redone the tc brakes all the way around. New calipers pads and rotors.. But I'm still gonna hang on to the t5. I'm more interested in the clutch pedal assembly and the under the hood stuff.. I'm not looking to make a rocket out of the car right away.. I figure with the tc rear and a fresher Trans and the h.o. Upgrade I should see a huge difference!!! ? No?
Haystack!! How's things? I would obv drop the abs.. I'm looking to use the rear out of my tc and the front spindle and brake assembly on my cougar. As far as I know I would at least need the booster? And probably the proportioning valve.. I just figured if I have a complete parts car why not take everything I can? I also have a Lincoln mark at my disposal. And I'm not really interested in a five lug swap right now.. Unless there's more benefit than rim selection..
But the system should work in the cat.. ?? I'm going to look over everything before I start swapping parts over. And with that info I'm gonna go do some searching....
Sweet. So tc rear , tc spindles.. Mark calipers.. Tc booster and master.. Mark H.O. Motor and Trans.. Mark computer... I'm relally excited to do this swap! How about springs? I know a lot of guys say this will work and that will work.. But I've also noticed a lot of guys have problems.. Anyone have a guaranteed spring swap that'll lower the front just a little? How about the mark springs? And I know there's probably a write up.. I'm not lazy.. It's easier to talk to someone than read thru others headaches ya know?
Lol thanks. The Chevy is Definately gonna be sped or sold as is.. It was a freebie from a friend that went to jail. I def agree with having the other projects goin on. Right now priority is the cougar. I was hoping one of the pickup motors would've been a better option.. But the h.o. Is something I was thinking of for a while.. If all goes well the cougar will get done in like two weeks.. And then by next winter I'll have the f150 done so I can park and preserve the cat. Man have I missed all you guys!! Is mercury man still around? And dmainc? Hell who am I kidding!! There's so many good guys on this site I'd be here all night trying to call them all out!!! Thanks for the input everyone!
Ok. The way I'm looking at this whole situation is I have 3 94 f150s a 94 Chevy 1500 with a blown motor, my cougar and my bird. And the Lincoln mark.. I'm building one really nice f150 5spd and my cougar. So it's time to use what I need and get rid of the junk. I'm running out of room fast!! My cougar was my first car so obv it's the one I want to save. The only thing left of the bird will be interior and motor.. I was thinkin of saving the doors hood am fenders also.. So I think year down will start this weekend and sry to any of you bird lovers out there..
What do u mean swap the mark stuff into the bird? Like motor ? I dnt think I wanna pull the dash and swap harnnesses.. And besides I like the cougar a lot more...
Yeah I figured. I'm out of work with a broken wrist this week. So I should be able to start this project this weekend. I've also been contemplating pulling the Trans, clutch pedal and master out of the tc and holding onto it until I find a 5.0 bell housing and flywheel and clutch.. I think if all goes well I'll have a nice little setup.. And I was thinking I might just use the front spindles from the bird too? So that way there I'll have all tc brakes and rear..
Ok cool thanks guys for the info! Btw.. Could I just use the tc prop valve with the tc master and booster? And my original plan is to use the entire tc rear anyway. Also has anyone tried using the Lincoln driveshaft?
Ok so I have my 88 tc, an my 88 xr7. And a Lincoln mark. First off I've read the cool cats writeup on the h.o. Swap. A bit confused. If I have a 5.0 cougar the swap should be straight forward? I would like to use the Trans and motor from the Lincoln. From what I understand it should be a plug and play scenario no? I'd also like to use the disc rear from the tc. I know I'll need the booster. Can I use the stock master? Do I need the front calipers? The tc is a decent car but I like my cat wayyy better.. Sorry if anyone around the central mass area would like tc parts I'm me
Ok so I know it's been a while buts warm weather is coming and it's time to get the cat running again!! My questions are A. I have two 94 f150s both are parts trucks. Ones a 5.8 and ones a 5.0. Will either engine swap? B. I know I'll need a fox pan. But if I go with the 5.8 will the manifolds work? Will stock 5.0 headers work? C. Will the computer swap from the trucks into the cougar? D. And finally if the tail shaft of the auto Trans is changed will it fit as a replacement to the stock and blown AOD? Any info would be very helpful guys. I can also get a Lincoln mark computer if need be. I want. To make this happen!! I need to put it on the road!! Lol again Ty for any info!
and I will post pics with updates fellas!!
