the rustang likes to find ways to get new parts. im switching from a C6 to a C4 for weight reasons, power loss through the transmission is much less, smaller etc.. also getting new headers (dont have them yet but ordering them next week) also getting rid of all the chrome crap in the engine bay, i hate chrome, so im switching as much as i can to black, plug wires, valve covers, fuel lines and fittings. in the next month or so ill be getting some aerospace brakes for the front, im getting tired of the no-stop ford factory ones. here are some pictures.
new tranny, old tranny
new converter, old converter (new one is a little looser than the old, we will see how it works out with the nitrous and on motor, most likely will have to restall it)
new flex plate, old one
torqued down and ready to go
got an aluminum driveshaft, its bigger and has the better u joints than the steel one i had, also the old one is shortened due to the extended length of the C6.
also hid some wiring in the inner front fender.
put a switch panel in and painted the gauge mount black, also put in a kirkey seat (passenger side is coming soon) i hate the look of the cheap plastic ones.
got my valve covers in. waiting on my headers. im getting the black fuel lines, fittings. and spark plug wires next week.
before
after
got my headers in the mail, along with fuel lines and fittings (most of them). gonna buy some new mufflers soon that will make it a little louder than it is.
kinda hard to see but i will get some better pictures when it gets brighter
UPDATE: got my headers on ( i am going manual brakes because of these darn things) so much frustration and sweat went into putting these on. and got my fuel lines on.
and a little open header video
