    Dry sump

    Thanks for the posts. After doing more research the dry sump would not be that easy. I am sure it can be done but it would add more difficulty to my build. I am the guy who is doing the 510, looks like my best option is to modify the oil pan and move the cross member. But have clearance...

    Dry sump

    So I am doing an RWD SHO motor install and was wondering if anyone has done a dry sump on this motor. I have some clearance issues and this would solve them. Crossmember and steering rod. Just looking for some info. Didn't see anything after looking, so I thought I would ask. Thanks Steve

    Another RWD SHO motor project

    Thanks for the response. The Aero TOB does fit the TOB sleeve on the T5. But it is just the TOB. The slave unit is just too small. Removing that sleeve on the Trans would put the unit out to far. So today I was thinking about this at work. I think I will spend some time researching the...

    Another RWD SHO motor project

    Finally starting my project and I have run into a snag. I need some help with the throw out bearing setup. I have searched all the threads I could find but I can't find any that say specifically what was used when using the Aerostar bell with the BW T5 5spd trans. I went with this setup based on...

    1/2" laser cut aluminum intake spacers - Now an official GB

    I would be interested in a set. But first, is 1/2" high enough for the manfold to clear everything, requiring no cutting of the timing belt cover or anything else? I am gathering up parts for my swap.

    Sho Hall of Shame

    I always use Mobile One oil. My first engine started knocking at 264k or 284k i dont remember which. But 10k oil changes on that one as well. I had an arguement with some dude at the super **** about the 3k oil change. Told him it was a scam and that 3k was true maybe 20 years ago but not true...

    Sho Hall of Shame

    OK, I must confess. I own an 89 with 330k miles. I am good about some things and bad about others. This car is my daily driver. Here goes, I have never changed the brake fluid, never changed the power steering fluid, the A/C does not work and the ac clutch can, at times, be very noisey, never...
