I will see if I can go back and dig up what we put in there. I originally had a flat tappet cam and it flattened some lifters, the shop changed it up to roller lifters. The Flat tappet was a 280H and used the stock no adjustable rockers. When I moved to the roller set up is when I moved to the adj rockers. I will try to dig up more specifics on each setup, but I have had no issues since changing over a few years ago.

It is basically a stock FE adjustable rocker arm. That was an option on the FE motors, but they had a known issue of non locking adjustment so, they would tend to back out. Precision Oil, upgrades that to a fully locking adjustable nut set up, so it gets rid of the stock adjustment issue. He also put in new bushings where the shafts go. Again, this was a few years ago and I am not sure he still does this, but it was a good comprise on function and cost.

That is an awesome picture!

When I got mine, I called Precision Oil Pumps about some options. He had stock style adjustable, not roller, that he refurbished and upgraded, with locking adj stoppers and new inserts where they install on the shaft. Was trying to remember more details about them, but they were solid units. I changed over to Roller Lifters and needed adjustable but was had similar concerns that you did about the aftermarket ones. This was a few years ago, so not sure if he still has those available or not.

Hey TexasEd, I like your overall vision statement as mine is very similar with a bit of a lean towards the Pro-touring/Restomod vehicle. I wanted more modern drive and conveniences of a modern car, but had to keep the original body with some slight changes that don't stand out drastically, but to make it slightly different. A quick list of modern conveniences: Vintage Air AC Unisteer Power Steering Cobra Disc Brake upgrade FiTech FI TKO600 Transmission with Hydraulic Clutch Setup Upgraded Radio with Kicker Components Street or Track Upgrades Suspension TMI Covered Foxbodies in Mach 1 Upholstery 3 Point Front Seat belts LED tail lights and Halogen Headlights Body Changes: Removed 1/4 Panel Emblems Removed Trunk Letters Removed Rear Wing/Still need to add Front Spoiler Paint Whole Hood and Cowl Flat Black Paint Tail Panel Flat Black Painted on Side Stripe with Body Color Showing through for striping and MACH 1 lettering 17/18in Bullitt Wheel Combo

I will be honest I am not sure on either of those. I think you can do some more research on Vintage Mustang Forum as I think more people have used them over there. I have a generic Radiator that has side tanks so it wouldn't fit on my radiator, but with the stock tanks for the radiator I think it could fit.

Have you looked at maybe using Contour fans? I have seen those used before and may be an option. Something like these: https://lmr.com/item/LRS-8607F/mustang-contour-electric-fan-assembly-79-93

That is looking great!!!

Well spent some time this weekend getting the trunk back together and installed Vintage LED's Tail lights at that same time. MUCH brighter and very nice product. Still have the back up lights and front turn signals to install too. 20200523_112043.mp4

I would recommend call all the different companies yourself. I did that and ended up with Street or Track coil over set up. Shaun was awesome to work with and is very knowledgeable about mustang suspension and can talk through many options that he can offer. I would also price the options yourself as I started looking at just upgraded stock parts and ended up going coil overs based on the pricing and what I wanted from my car. I have no regrets and 100% completely happy with my set up. Car rides awesome and have no issues. Good luck, lots of options out there.

I will be there with my ride most of Friday and Saturday.

Where's the fun in that! HAHA

This is the part that caught my attention. Unless something is done to that WC T-5, I would be careful with that transmission. They typically are not built to hand that kind of torque unless they are modified. I too have a 445 FE, but opted for the TKO 600, just to be on the safe side.

I have these in mine. Just installed them. Good quality and so far no complaints.

Cool project. Going to be a fun ride with that motor in it. Looking forward to updates.

Congrats. Car look sgreat

That is awesome. Nice ride.

Never heard of them before this thread. Looks like a decent website. Before you buy any suspension parts I would encourage you to call Shaun at Street or Track. He is very helpful and no pressure to buy his stuff. But he knows mustangs and that is what his business is based on. I talked to him several times before buying anything. He can provide some info on what you are trying to do with your car and offer some options for you. Good luck.

Looks Great. Awesome job!

Same here!

Would be a nice option if they did.

Totally agree. That is why I went with their Phantom set up as well. Pump kept overheating and vapor locking. Drove it recently to the Hot Rod Power Tour Ssop here near me and had no issues, pump ran great and as quiet as can be. I do like have the access under the car as I did have a couple of holes to drill for the lines. Not a bad deal, just have to put something over top of it so I don't have to worry about anything riding on top of the pump set up.

Would figure they do this AFTER I upgrade mine. But a nice option and glad they are listening to potential customers.

WOW that is sweet looking.

That was the same issues I was having with the NC summer heat. Would eventually vapor lock on me. Would have to wait for everything to cool down, then would run again. I upgraded to an Aeromotive In-Tank set up over the winter and so far running good. Haven't tested it it super hot weather yet, but so far done good in the 80's.
