$$$ well spent!
holy crap, whats the next move?
Sorry for time away. Been busy with work, wedding planning, and car fixing. Got a t56 sourced for 1600 bucks out of an 03 cobra. Pulled the wrecked t45 out. When I say wrecked, I mean WRECKED. Pics of install and the likes. Currently fighting my speedcal, but I think I also have an OSS issue.

Dallas Speedcal or Ford? If its a Dallas I can probably help you out, I installed a OSS 3650 in my 98 VSS and got it working first try. Just need to know the pulse count in the tailshaft, the 3650 was 12. Accutach has a calculator online where you punch in the rear tire revolutions per mile, pulse count, gear ratio and the VSS in the computer is expecting 8000 PPM so you wind up with like 36000 something OSS pulses and the speedcal spits out a binary code and done.
Dallas. Its accurate above 45. It falls to 0 below that.

Update, got the issue sorted out, required a replacement box.
Unfortunately I spilled a soda in my car and coated the carpet. So, out came the interior and the carpet got a shampooing! It had a few more stains in it than I thought, but she's looking good as new now! Did find my floor pan took a pretty hard hit when the driveshaft kicked out, so a future project sometime maybe...

Sad news, got side swiped at a car show over the weekend. 
Good news, the guy that got me owns the local body shop in town. I've seen his work and have been impressed. Positive side of things is I'm getting my bumper and spoiler painted at no cost for the inconvenience.
Side note, the car that hit me was a replica of the police car from the Andy Griffith show, so I can say I was taken out by the Mayberry PD!

Upgrade time! Missed the MGW that my t45 had, so naturally I had to go with another for my t56.

You came out ahead on that deal. Better than ever. One of the best parts of modding our cars is that when you do it you end up with something better than you started with.
Now if only wives saw it the same way...

Not arguing that! My wife to be is actually excited for me to yank the engine this winter and get to building it. Crazy I'd say!You came out ahead on that deal. Better than ever. One of the best parts of modding our cars is that when you do it you end up with something better than you started with.

Not much to speak up. Picked up a few things... Couple Kelloggs, manley takeouts, and a 3v block. I guess you could say things are getting serious...

Go big or go home! That should be a stout setup.
One would think. Unsure of piston yet.

Picked up an aviator engine the other day for stupid cheap by accident. Went to look at casting differences between WAP & Nemak blocks, he said he wanted it gone. I told him what I had in my pocket, next thing I knew, it was in my trucks bed. Lol! Looks fairly clean on the inside. May find a flywheel for it and swap a gt if I can find one, or I'll keep it and drop it into another f150 like what I'm doing in my navi swap thread.
