Plenty of adults with income take the same approach. I look at the down payment of a new car then wind up buying parts instead.

That’s how it’s done. You try to slowly pull them out and when that doesn’t work (it usually won’t), you get to find out why its called a jerk strap...

2X ten inch wheels = twenty inches of tire. Yes the tires will be slightly wider (305s?), I just chalked it up to poor writing.

True, and if the Tremec DCT is based on the Tr6070 manual (just guessing here) adding a manual option should be easier,

The wrongness, it hurts.

It’s the newest option on Tremec’s website, so probably...

I believe its effectively an automated TR6070. Which makes since as a DCT is manual with some actuators and a funny clutch.

I took it as two 10 inch wheels, while wide, is still reasonable.

Easily, torque limiting by gear. Tuners already do it and I believe OEMs do on some Manuals as well.

I don’t know where your getting this, or why its getting up votes, but mustangs have used hydraulic clutches since 2005. I am assuming you and ten other people have no experience driving a manual mustang.

If Swiss Cheese has a 8.25 rear you could swap both. That’s going to be more work, although a solid upgrade (even the 27 spline) over the much maligned dana 35.

David this is easy. Part out swiss cheese to the other two. The head and front axle will both be upgrades. The work should only take a weekend and will give nice productive material for an article, call it David’s garage. Furthermore if you post up a date I’m sure you will get some volunteers, you could even…

I don’t see that happening unless they make it slower than the last one...

As a former cavalryman this is popular conventional wisdom but way off base.

Thats why? I honestly read the whole article wondering why they hadn’t sourced a V8 from Ford or GM. The only thing the 4.8 has going for it is... well I’m still trying to figure that one out.

From the army side of the house, controlled transfers are a giant red flag and cannibalization like your describing is a deployment only affair. I had to get an O5 to approve a control transfer and then it required multiple MFR’s for a HMMWV. Marines are similar to the army on maintenance and property accountability so…

The problem is there may have been a black and tan 350 Automatic. By specifying 305 manual it lets him say 1 of 1.

One of my neighbors has one to tow his speed boat. The dumbest use of money I’ve ever seen and I served in Iraq. We’re definitely a median income neighborhood so I chalk it up to blown loto winnings...

The screwed up part is they’ve got a decent line up, but everything needs a refresh soon if they want to stay competitive. Instead they decided to kill everything on the hope it will bump the stock price.
