that truck come with steering box ? how converts to P.S.? how to choose the right one?
@trackdayclassics24 күн бұрын
It did. Originally the truck had the old worm gear box with the long fixed steering shaft (known the impaler on early Mustangs, Falcons, and Comets). The Crown Victoria conversion already has a power rack and pinion as part of the k-member right out of the junkyard. But those were different from one another depending on the year, which for me was which set of hoses to use. Although I can’t point you in the right direction, I can tell you this is a great set up, and the truck is now a steering machine with great feel, geometry, and tight turning circle. Cheers!

@trackdayclassicsАй бұрын
Hey Chris! I wish it was a sequential, but it’s a Viper spec T56. Which basically means it can handle very high torque, but shifts are notchy. I had a S1 shift adapter for a while, but that did not improve my 5-4 downshifts and was a pain to remove for transmission/clutch repairs. So, no magic here. I think I mention the trans in captions in the video after the “dyno day!” Video. Cheers and good luck with your project!
@chrispompano29 күн бұрын
@@trackdayclassics I'll be a doofus, & still can't find where you mentioned it! 😵. So is that T56 still an H pattern or fwd/back pattern using a foot clutch? I thought I saw one if your vids of you shifting that way, but with a clutch & wondered what gear box you were using. Do you know about that Full Sequential Tremec 6-Speed by American Powertrain with PPG of Australia internals, but its $20k-26k? See vid titled: Full Sequential Tremec 6-Speed The Ultimate 6-Speed Transmission Also, I found another Made in USA by 6xdgearbox. Its around $16k. See really good vid on Finnegans Garage. He's that dude on tv Faster with Finnengan. See vid titled: First Look Inside a Billet Sequential Trans for my '67 C10!

@trackdayclassics29 күн бұрын
@chrispompano Hey Chris, like you, I’m a fan of the sequential units out there. And Mike Finnegans various builds. I just sold my S1 shifter, not because I did not like it, I did. But because it added too much time to transmission removal. I’m on a limited income, so luxuries like a 20-30K trans are way out of my price range. The car is pretty dialed in as is, but the driver could be better 😆

I aspire to have your hobby once I retire, congrats Sir! Quick question though, is the looser suspension intentional? I know some body roll is beneficial in cornering, but (maybe it's just the camera) it seems to roll quite a bit in corners, and transfer a lot of weight back at WOT. Is that intentional? Or is the camera just exaggerating it. Congrats on the beautiful car, Sir.

My Late Stepdad raced a 67 Shelby GT350 with a 289 pushing 504HP @9K. '68 they Black flagged him during trials. Seems he was running 167.86 lap speed and over 210 on back stretch at Daytona. With the reverse engine rotation he could stand on it in the turns and slow down on the straights. It planted the inside wheel as opposite rotation raised the inside wheel causing loss of traction to that wheel and the dynamics as a whole.
