Yeah, I'll stop by once it's completely road worthy. Have to get it aligned first.

I can has sway bar! Third bar finally fit. Got the car aligned today.

Then took it out for a shake down and beat on it.

Then driveway posed.

Small things left... rocker moldings, put the interior together, mount puke tank..

Got the rocker moldings back on.

Installed the washer squirters and line, mounted the over flow can, and installed Moser axles.

I need to get a locker in this rear end. Took it for a drive today. WOT in first rolling at 25 mph resulted in blazing the passenger side tire with a good long spin in second.

I know its a wide open question but what's a 67 mustang with the 289 auto worth. Car is in good shape and was all redone for a charity raffle a few years ago. Car has been sitting since she won it but driven monthly up and down the street. Thinking about bartering a roof for the car.

If in good shape, it's worth a roof...Just have it looked over by someone that knows 'em... When things are redone for a charity raffle, sometimes shortcuts are made, just sayin'... :awesomework:

Still trying to figure out what the thrumming vibration that increases with engine RPM is... Decided to try swapping back to the stock flex plate today.. PS, pulling the trans with an x-pipe exhaust is a pain in the ass.

When comparing the two, I noticed the weight is slightly different, and in a slightly differently clocked position on the TCI plate vs the stock one. Guess we'll see if it makes a difference.

The location of the balance weight has no matter as it is put where is needed to balance the flexplate.

at least its nice and clean.

So did you figure out the vibration???

Totalled · May 5, 2015

Hasn't been assembled yet.

Except on a small block ford which is externally balanced.

Correct, that is why you have the whole rotating assembly balanced together.

jeepermc · May 12, 2015

Having the flexplate balance out of line with what the motor needs will cause a vibration. Fords are notorious for needing different balance flex plates/flywheels for different years or displacements of motors. The FE family has two different balances. 360/390 are balanced in a different spot than 406/410/428. Early 302 uses a different balance flywheel than late 302/5.0. Get them wrong and you will have a vibration issue. It would not surprise me at all if your issue has to do with the flex plate.
