    I love your car. I used to have a 65 Mustang,but I got in a accident and didn't have the means nor the skills to repair the car. If I was able to purchase another car and if it was available in a decent shape, my dream car would be a 68 Ford Torino Cobra jet with a 428 CJ engine. That's why I love your car. Keep up the great work.

    I am going to swap a t5 in my 69 torino convertible. I emailed MDL about a cable they didn't have any workable kit. Currently have a AOD starting to slip in 4th too many times rebuilt. Did the math t5 is the way to go.

      MDL discontinued the cable kit they sold me . It isn’t great anyways. Their hydraulic kit looks like the way to go.

      No issues at all. They were in there with the 4 speed and z-bar when I bought the car. Headman 1 5/8”.

    I am in the process of putting a TKO600 in my 68 GT from American power train with a hydraulic clutch. Originally a floor shift C4.
    What modifications did you do to the crossmember and what headers are you running?
    Thanks
    BTW, I love your car and videos!!

      I didn’t have to do anything for the crossmember that was in there with the 4 speed. Bolted right in. Headers are Hedman Headers 1 5/8” full length. With the TKO you will need to cut open the trans tunnel a bit to make it fit.

      The factory crossmember is slotted. Yours has been cut. Check out a picture of one and you will see what I mean.
      The way yours is cut on the ends makes me wonder how it has held up to jamming gears at 6500 …

    I've watched your other videos where you race the car. Really impressive times considering the engine and weight of the car. But I'm really curious: why a T5 instead of a toploader or a super T10? Wouldn't that be stronger?

    • @mikeymac9
      @mikeymac9  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Overdrive. I drive it everywhere with 4.30’s. This is a GForce gear set too so it’s stronger than a stock T5.

    Awesome video mike, have the same car. Do you have a part number for the RPM you inserted on the dash? Looks super clean.

    • @mikeymac9
      @mikeymac9  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks. I don’t have the PN but I’m pretty sure it’s just the standard Autometer and it slips right into the pod.

  • @mainlymusclecars420

    Do you have a wideband in the car? The spacer may not be worse, the air was so good it may have went lean.

    @Johnnycdrums ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I realize you said you changed from 4.10 to 4.30 rear.
    What RPM at 65 mph with 4.10 : 1 rear gear?

    • @mikeymac9
      @mikeymac9  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Right around 2000. This gear set has a .59 5th.

    Great car man! I have a 1968 ford Fairlane 500 fastback and I’m wanting to install a T5 in it as well, I was wondering what’s the length on the driveshaft you need for these cars with the T5?

      I had a custom aluminum one made. I swapped the 8 inch out for a 9 inch and the 4 speed for the 5 speed so just measured and had one made.

      I’ve never checked mileage honestly. Just wanted over drive for the highway with 4.30’s and a 26” tire. The .59 5th gear is is great.
