The same scam was used on a book store here in Richmond last summer. An African-based corporation Ordered a shipment, paid with a bad check for 2x the price, asked for an immediate refund of the other half. By the time the US banks caught up, the book seller ( a sole proprieter of a small store) was out the full amount - cash and books. How low do you have to be to cheat someone over a case of Bibles?

Amen

There is a McLeod unit on eBay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2441551913&category=33733

Yep I am sure there will be a huge demand for them since Potty-ack stopped making Fieros over ten years ago.

It's nearly square, 4 bolt holes -.290" x .344" o.c. A shifter from a '85 Chevy NWC T-5 fits it. I goofed, I thought it was from a 2800, but '97 Camaros had 3800 and 3400. Looks more like a 90-deg, not a 60-deg block. See photos in my gallery.

That is my problem as well.

Thanks for the answers

I've been reading a few articles that tell how to replace the AOD with a T-5 in 5L Mustangs, Cougars, etc. None mention replacing the computer with a 5-speed specific ECU. My question is - Is the ECU dependent on the transmission. My confusion comes from researching conversion from SEFI to (89-up) Mass-Air parts and advertising for the ECU part always says what type of trans it is for - Auto or 5-speed.

Who's had one since the 70's? Were they originally painted black? Or is it 30 years of grime?

True, but the 90-deg Buick 3800 and Caddy 4100 front driver has a different block. They use the 60-deg FWD bellhousing. I've only seen them with automatics unless they get swapped into Fieros and S-10 pickup hybrids . Made me wonder if the end of the crank is drilled for a trans input shaft pilot.

A small firm called Origin Design in Arizona used to make and sell fiberglass doors, just a shell - race only part - without window mechanism IIRC. John Washington at Reaction Research bought the Origin molds and might be able to produce these parts.

There are plenty of jobs available - you just need the right qualifications. I hear that the demand for Spanish-speaking lawyers is increasing.

I have a T-5 in my shop from a '97 2.8L V6 Camaro. It has a Ford-style front face (that bolts to the bellhousing), and a fine-spline (26?) input shaft. Not sure how long it is, but D&D's site says the V6 Camaro T-5 is 1/2" shorter than a Ford 5.0L input shaft. So it might work with a pre-'82 Ford bell or a '67 Camaro 3-speed bell. (Trivia: '67 Camaro 3-speed used a Ford-sourced toploader trans, I once bought a Ford toploader 4-speed that had seen duty in a 70's Camaro using this early bell) The bellhousing that came with the V6 T-5 fits the RWD and FWD 60-deg V6 and FWD 90-deg V6 which I thought was kind of neat. At the time I thought about putting a FWD Buick V6 and this tranny in a street rod.

I just found one in the JY!! It was still in the switch of a RHD Fairlady. Too bad if master blanks are no longer available. What do the numbers mean? The teeth are in pretty good shape on this one so I think I'll re-key my locks to fit this key.

Let us know how your trans "strength tests" go. I'd give up 1st gear for a budget overdrive. I had read about the input shaft pilot diameter being smaller on the 4-cyl and 6-cyl T-5s, but until I read that chart on D&D's site, I didn't realize that the input shaft on the 5.0 T-5 was almost 1/4" shorter. Don't the 3.8 v-6 and 5.0 v-8 have the same bellhousing?

Does anyone still have their original keys with the big "N" on the top? like the set shown in this photo: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2438968940&category=33648&rd=1 Anyone know if new blanks are available? Just thought it was kind of neat and I'd never seen "originals" before.

Here is an IRS from a Toyota Supra: http://www.spkorb.org/suprang3.html Transplanted into an early Mustang.

I thought it looked like the WWF, until they really started trying to hit each other.

MJ - That Miata windshield and frame offers a great look. The rounded upper corners look better on a convert than the Z windshield's square corners -IMO. When you changed the rake of the A-pillar, did you have to change the shape of the side windows also? Thanks
