Re: 67 Cougar restification
Yanked the 8.8 back out to set the final pinion angle and solid weld the perches. the T5 output shaft sits 1 inch lower than the C4's. So instead of shimming the tranny up into the floorboards we cut the tack welds and gave her another 1.5 degrees. Still need to shorten the steel brake line and weld on some hose mounts. Then it will get a fresh coat of black and bolted back in permanently.
Edit: Don't sweat the spacers, those are strictly on there to keep the late model rollers from rubbing on the wheel houses. The new black rims have the proper backspacing and fit perfectly, I just don't want them getting tore up while we finish up the paint and body...
