EASY Does it
are you going with the mustang tips through the rear valance or custom tips? Thanks for posting pics of the torque boxes, I need to install some of these
Still thinkin on the tips
Some more of the boring pics but has to be done. Man this body is in good shape I still cant believe how nice it is.
Gettin it cleaned up and ready for some primer
Trans is not here yet but had to check the fit for the factory headers, master cylinder, how much room for radiator and fans, ect. an general fit plus could'nt wait to see it in there lol

This is going to be great. Thanks for sharing.
op:Ok got the new Phoenix transmission 4R70W with the hand held programer lets fit it all in there.
After a few times putting the motor and trans in
out this is what needed to be removed to get it in there
Its in and fits real good now gotta make a new trans tunnel and trans mount now
Starting on the removable trans mount coming along nicely
One step closer

Thanks man much Appreciated
The factory headers that come with the motor will have to be modified a little but Dougs Headers is supposed to make a set for it but I dont think they will fit with an automatic lots of room though

The Doug's will not clear the 4R70W. I bought a set and sent them back as they run too narrow to clear the transmission pan. Mustangs to Fear has a nice set of long tubes that'll work. I had to move the oxygen sensor bung but other than that they fit nicely (the original location placed the sensor directly into the tranny pan).
I have a 68 Mustang that is nearly identical to yours (TCI suspension, 4R70W, etc). In case you haven't noticed, Ford changed the hub on the water pump to a 3 bolt design. If you're planning on running a pulley kit that changes the water pump pulley, you'll need to swap out the pump for the previous 4 bolt design.

Man it's coming along just fine. Can't wait to see the next updates.

Modified the factory stainless headers today i believe they will work out great thanks for all the info you car is killer:rockon:
Thanks man,Got a few more things done today pics coming soon
The Door gaps on most of these Mustangs are so tight drives me crazy so had to modify them a little. thids one is halfway done but you can see how tight the bottom is
Now that looks better a lot of grinding and welding. Takes some time to make it look right but I like it much better,
Here is how tight the drivers door was after moving it as far forward as i could and keeping everything in line
Got this side almost done will finish tomorrow just the bottom part left to do
The factory Stainless Headers need a little modifying I was gonna use the Dougs but found out they wont work with the Automatic they would have to be modified also so made the factory ones work. the drivers side fit s great just need to cut the bottom flange and turn it.
The drivers side need a bit more work I turned the bottom flange also. Then had to pie cut all 4 tubes near the head flange bend the header down and weld back together fits great now. I even think I might be able to pull the motor in and out with them on that would be a plus we will see soon.
