Gentlemen,
I'm with 62 Mark, I am glad that I found this thread as well. Good information posted, iamaflyer. I really enjoyed reading everything you posted like a check list. It also has re-iterated what I have read, looked up, researched and went from site to site. I found this thread by search "drive shaft" because I am now moving towards finding the drive shaft that will work with my build. Do not get me wrong, I still have not bolted my t5 to my 235. I have everything in pieces and soon it will be time to assemble everything together. I run into a lot of "whats next" and "if I put this here, what needs to be there." I'll be the first person to admit that I do not know what I am doing....
My fist thought when reading this is that maybe we can learn from each other and because we are doing somewhat the same thing.
I have a trany at the shop for an op check. Once I get it back with a thumbs up, I'll marry it up with my engine. The trans bottom two holes are going to get some type threading done by the same shop is checking the trans. once I get the trans, bellhouseing, clutch kit, all together, I will marry them together.
Here is where the next class begins for me; the part of the engine that the trans inserts in to will need a pilot bushing and or a pilot bearing. I ordered a pilot bushing but I am not sure in I need a pilot bearing as well. The engine didn't have one when the trans and engine was separated.
Here is a quick back look at what I have done.
Mustang II font w/airbags, disk breaks, rack-n-pinon
Four link rear end w/ airbags, [censored] breaks, currie rear end.
Recently had the frame sandblasted so I'll paint it this weekend. From there, I'll start assembling the suspension. Then, I'll mount the engine w/trany and get my measurements for the drive shaft.
More to follow if anyone is interested in following my endeavors.
I would like to know how everyone's else are coming along.
