I am going tomorrow to look at a '99 Mercury Mountaineer with a fuel injected 5.0L (may have blown head gasket, but good for harness and computer), 4R70W (transmission code U), and limited slip 3.73 rearend (axle code D4). I may score big time.
I'm not much worried about sticking with this plan. My son and I cobbled together parts from about four Dusters and Darts, and two Maxi-vans to build his first car.
This seems like a good project for me to learn a lot from - one of the main reasons I build my own and don't just drop cash down...
Yes, going with rollers.
Just spent some time at my favorite transmission shop this afternoon picking his brain. He also suggested looking at
a 4R70W or 4R75W. Anyone have firsthand experience with these? I'll be the first to admit I don't know squat about
transmissions, beyond the...
Well, as the poet Robert Burns once said, "The best-laid plans o' mice an' men often go awry". I'm here once again with a change in plans. I'm getting closer to beginning a major push, but I still have significant decisions to make.
I was fortunate enough to pick up a second, and much better...
As you can tell, I was off the grid for quite a while. Way too many things tugging me in way too many directions. However, I am now ready to roll my sleeves up and dive into this project. First thing I plan to do is go this weekend to Waco and retrieve a GMC S15 I located for cheap. My hope...
Holiday discount on dual-speaker brackets
My dual-speaker brackets are usually priced at a fixed $26 each, with a discount price of $20 each for a second one or more. From now through December 31, I am offering them at $20 each, and shipping is always included (US lower 48). Since there...
If you would like to place an order for one of my dual-speaker brackets, I developed a form you can FILL OUT HERE to give me all the necessary vehicle, shipping, and payment preference information.
Replace your worn out single-cone dash speaker with dual 3.5" or 4" two-way speakers. You may have seen these in other threads, but I just wanted to mention them again before you wrap up all your holiday shopping. I have a few of each style for trucks, Ramchargers, and A, B, or E-bodies...
Here are a couple of pics of the dual-speaker brackets...
As you can see, they fit like a glove to replace the old single-cone speaker. Add your own pair of two-way speakers and mount the assembly right in the original location.
Some of you are also members of one of Joey's other MOPAR-related websites, like FABO, FBBO, or FEBO, and have probably seen the brackets I sell to replace the old 4"x10" single-cone dash speaker with a pair of modern two-way speakers. I have recently developed a new bracket for Dodge trucks...
My first post here is to show you my '48 Ford F1 project truck. I picked this one up for free, just to get it out of a fellow's yard. I also scored much better running boards, fenders, radiator support, and tailgate for free. My only expense so far is $100 for a Chevy S-10 chassis to put...
