Makes me wish I had gotten my tax return sooner:) . Hope he enjoys it.

Would it make the drive to Connecticut?

My truck is beat to sh*t. I could never justify doing that with that fine piece. Looks nice, if you're into that sort of thing. Is it quick?

I am going to look into the Baumman system. I bought a shift kit from them for my AOD and never ended up putting it in. It's still sitting on my shelf. As for the 4-2 killer, I put my old car through that more then I would like to mention. With a paddle system however and 4.10 gears, I hope...

I have vowed to not spend more then 10k on a daily driver, knocking the SHO out of the picture. It doesn't perform well enough to put into the sports car region. So, I'll just save up and buy an Audi R8. :D Those of you with stick shift mark viiis, how much does it wake the car up?

I know it can take some abuse, otherwise the two in my two mark viiis wouldn't have made. However, they did. Still wondering, can I tune to trans to change gear without any physical movement of the selector.

Hmm, so the trans can be electronically controlled gear to gear?

I don't even care about going fast really. The stock Mark VIII was enough for me. I could put a t56 in it, buy a stickshift car or get a car with paddle shifts, but where is the sense of adventure. If I wanted that, I could buy a 5spd mustang or get a saab with the paddle shift. I could probably...

Dang, If you were only closer. I've been wanting one of these for a long long time.

First, I sold my Mark VIII a few months ago, bought a SAAB and sob every day. it has ZERO BALLS. At the very least, it got me through winter storms here in CT. Anyway, I could always buy a mustang this spring, but the Mark VIII has an allure that you can't get enough of. Kind of like the casino...

Hit down on the shifter, give it a good smack. My shifter was actually coming up and disconnecting just enough to not work. Sometimes it's the simple things.

Sold! :)

... In the words of Borat "Looks like an anoos" ...In the words of Jeremy Clarkson " This car is horrid!" Looks so bad, but hey, love the five liter man, really moves right? :cool:

Gosh, I sure hoped so. Ford engineers couldn't have been that stoopid. There's a term in the lean manufacturing world. Mistake proofing. If an engineer allows for a scenario to be easily selected that appears close to normal operating procedures however results in catastrophic failure, the...

Oh noes, I put it in 2 *hides behind brick wall and waits for explosion of transmission parts*! Actually, I just do that to get it going. If the trans can't handle that, then the poor thing wasn't meant to be anyway. I would never suggest keeping the poor thing in 2nd gear and turning that gear...

I would suggest putting the car in 2nd manually in the snow. Does wonders. That and driving with the big toe. The brakes work wayyyyy better then the pedal on the right in nasty weather.

I might just stay away from this then. I'll see how it looks. I might just add a complete beater to my garage. Nothing like doing burnouts and driving WOT... everywhere:eek:

Does the drive train commonly sell? I would offer the motor and trans up to my father for his hot rod project, but it seems like a nightmare with the stand alone computer for the trans if you go carbed and... ick...

Hey guys, I figure I could probably get this car for $800. Barring the headlights are good, and I keep them, and I also keep the wheels and hood supports. Could I make $700 to cover the rest of the car by parting it out? http://hartford.craigslist.org/cto/943254414.html I have...

That is legally well worded. The fact that it was bid so high should be astonishing.
