Those Blizzak studless snows were 225/75R15. And yes, they did rub.




hahahaha...JUST noticed that! graaaaant....you didn't accidently take those pics with the flanges bolted on incorrectly did you?

 

o rly? i had to put them on and send picture to Ford Racing because they sent the wrong anti -moan brackets. Well, one was correct, and one was wrong. I guess they wanted proof of their mistake before they send me the correct brackets which they dont make anymore. lol....


Re-read my OP about taking it off....i threw it away. Well recycled if that makes any one feel better...

Well, if you ever want an upgraded rear sway, just let me know

And i thought you put that on?? I think you gave me a bad time about not putting on the Roush set i have....

 

No. On a mustang GT they bolt on the outside of the flanges. Stupid Noob. This was to make sure Ford Racing woudln't give me a bad time i put them on as if i had a mustang and took the pictures. I am afraid they'd give me a bad time because i modified the axle brackets and have a Ranger. Those anti-moan brackets i need they dont make anymore and are ~$100 if i can find them. Eff that, i paid for the correct brackets.....dammit!

 

I already have a Bronco 2 bar on my truck, if it's the bigger 1" bar I call DIBS! I have the 7/16' on there now

 

I think its the .75inch bar. Good luck finding a 1inch. I'm hitting up yards next week after work to hopefully find a 1inch. Although either way, it's a huge improvement over stock...

 

WERD! I want a 1" bar but they are so hard to find lol

 

Me three. Do you know what years they came on? i was thinkint it was 89 and up, but the 90 in the yard had the .75...lame.

 

I have no Idea lol

 

Dam. And RPS is down. Double Dam.

 

RPS = massive FAIL.


Check out TRS.

 

Mini-update:
Found a Turbocoupe T-bird at the junkyard, so i spent a few hours pulling it to the short block. Ran out of time so Shane went and finished it up. MAD PROPS GOES OUT TO SHANE FOR FINISHING THE PULL AND GETTING IT FROM THE JUNKYARD!!!!1!!1!!!ONE!!!!!!

The cylinder walls had some nice cross hatch still visible, the head gasket looked really new and nice, and teh clutch had rebuilt on it). So i am positive everything is good. Else, the car had 130,000miles on it.
Going to use the forged pistons and rods. Probably sell the block because i plan on using a Ranger 2.3l.





Once we get an engine hoist i'll pull it out and get it on the engine stand so i can tear it apart and inspect it all. Think i might get piston coating on it, anyone ever do that??

 

No probs grant...just the waiting for the damn forklift for 2 hours SUCKED! Plus...I'm about to go out and be the DD for my jake and matt...so....better help me strap that SOB in you punk.

I want this thing out of my bed damnit!! It's feeling like the stepside bed....I can't wait to get it out/off. haha.

 

Update: I love when Ford Racing Performance Parts Boxes come in the mail:


Bought new calipers for the rear. Sold my old set up from a GT to a buddy off of here and decided that i should just buy new ones:




Can't wait to get everything done and installed. Going to order the stainless brake lines and banjo bolts and junk later this weekend. Hopefully get my gears checked by my guy and see if i should order new ones. Axle hopefully will be done in two weeks. I hope....

Update:
Nothing like spending a whole paycheck on Summit Racings website....and they still didn't have everything i needed!! Going to have to go to Jegs for that stuff later this week, because i'm sure i'll find something else to order by then...
