DBG: Installing G Force 101A, In A 69 Mustang, Transmission Mount, Moving Long Shifter Back

[@darrellseike3185]

I ran C4s as my car was auto from the factory. However, I would have loved to have had a 4 speed on my Cleveland. With that 110 octane green Cam2 fuel, I would have had the fastest car in town! Nobody would have been able to grab that $100 bill off the dash after I dumped it! What great memories. Thanks again Tim!

[@DragBoss351Cleveland]

You’re welcome Darrell. Oh yes she will be bad to the bone for sure. Have not ran cam 2 in 40 years. Mostly VP and ram Q16 in Cougar for the first time ever. Love that stuff. $110 for 5 gallons

[@davidreed6070]

Tim does your wife drive a stick?

[@DragBoss351Cleveland]

@davidreed6070 she learned on a stick car.

[@gearbanger57]

Had a modified toploader but you still had to tap the clutch to make it shift. This crank it and yank it G Force is going to be a hoot to drive.

[@DragBoss351Cleveland]

I know Dave, I can’t wait. It is a project for me, slow but sure. Have that face plated top loader with inline shifter, if you know anyone that needs one.

[@dondotterer24]

It's going to be fun to drive!

[@DragBoss351Cleveland]

Oh yeah Don, I bet it will.

[@vrm86gt]

That is going to be awesome at the track Tim, a whole new level of old school pro stock action for you!

[@DragBoss351Cleveland]

I’m hoping so vrm. You’re a stick guy, good driver. Hope I can do as well as you. Mrs. DragBoss is hesitant, but I will talk her into it.

[@vrm86gt]

@DragBoss351Cleveland you going to have a blast! Mrs Drag boss will do fine I'm sure!

[@DragBoss351Cleveland]

@vrm86gt here is the best part too. I am going match race Frank Iaconio and Rusty Glidden with them driving it and me with my Cougar. 🇺🇸

[@marvsmith8137]

@DragBoss351Cleveland awesome

[@williesweetjr8713]

Sacrilege! A Chevy part in a Ford! Said the Chevy aficionado currently building a Mustang II!🤠The unit is nice and the throw at the lever is going to be a joy to operate. Waiting for test and tune footage!

[@DragBoss351Cleveland]

I know it 😳. But it will be ok Willie, don’t tell anyone. Can’t wait, stay tuned.

[@abcullens2328]

Nice! Tim, 👍🏁

[@DragBoss351Cleveland]

Thanks AC. Nice 😊

[@mavman351]

Slingshot engaged!!!😂 It's gonna be epic! Tim, where can I get one of those Maverick shirts you were wearing? DBG for the win!!!!

[@DragBoss351Cleveland]

This car will be killer for sure. Those are from Doctor Ron Berges. Email your address.

Ujoints need a slight angle to live a trouble free life. Not enough angle and the joint will freeze up, Too much angle and the joint will have accelerated wear or if severe enough the joint will break. 3 degrees should be the sweet spot for most applications. For factory applications consult the service manual.

[@DragBoss351Cleveland]

Right on my brother. I get it. Should end up about -1-2. Thanks for the experience

[@billfioretti3013]

It takes ingenuity and patience to successfully adapt certain parts to work together in ways their original makers may not have intended. DragBoss demonstrates exactly that here. We see and learn. Mrs. DragBoss is going to be so proud and happy driving this Mustang!

[@jesse75]

4v can make low end torque. I'm putting an engine together to prove it. Found the right combination by experimenting.

[@DragBoss351Cleveland]

That’s a fact. Especially since I never did anything like this before. Seems to be working out the way I this supposed to. Lots of progress.

[@DragBoss351Cleveland]

@jesse75 not much to experiment with. Install at 102-106 IcL, makes a huge difference, gears and right Convertor and go

[@ronniemiller280]

Can’t beat a G- Force for a Ford.

[@DragBoss351Cleveland]

Hoping so, never raced a 4 speed.

[@ford6466]

Weld the factory slots in the crossmember up so only the new holes are in that area.

[@DragBoss351Cleveland]

That’s sounds like a great idea. 💡 thanks ford

[@markcrockford9679]

I hope the suspension is as well set up in the Mustang as the cougar ! That puppy is gunna hit the tyres when you start banging that G-Force ! Mrs DragBoss is gunna love it !

[@DragBoss351Cleveland]

Yes, has a mark Williams center and axles. Cal tracs and mono leaf. Should be good to go

[@markcrockford9679]

@DragBoss351Cleveland Nice ! What are you hoping for Tim ? deep 9s ?

[@DragBoss351Cleveland]

@markcrockford9679 no no. I will be happy with 10.50s. 😳

[@markcrockford9679]

@DragBoss351Cleveland Hooks nice Tim , I think you got that one sewn up !

[@DragBoss351Cleveland]

@markcrockford9679 trying my best to make it all work out. Just takes me forever.

[@michaelclanton1152]

Good job.

[@DragBoss351Cleveland]

Hey Michael. Engine ready to go back together. Stay tuned

[@mainlymusclecars420]

I know uou like the Cleveland stuff. Recently got pics of some experimental, aluminum dual plug heads Ford made in the late 70s, early 80s. They were tried in a fleet setting then mostly destroyed. Local guy knew someone at Ford and has a couple of the damaged heads and a set of clean castings as well. If you aren't familiar with them and would like to see the pics let me know how to share them with you.

[@DragBoss351Cleveland]

Yea I would thanks so much. Please email me [e-mail]. So your saying dual plug cleveland head?

[@moparsareeverything1980]

PRETTY SWEET SETUP

[@DragBoss351Cleveland]

Thanks Mike. Never did anything like this before. Seems to be the right process. 🏁

[@moparsareeverything1980]

@@DragBoss351Cleveland Looking good and I would love to have one in my Demon

[@DragBoss351Cleveland]

@moparsareeverything1980 man that would be a rocket for sure. I would like one in the Cougar, maybe. If I decide to, and you’re in. I will get us a killer deal. Thanks

Thank you! Cheers! Vamp. See you Saturday

[@mr.weaver2682]

Nice channel. I got one of these in Coyote Stock spec for my 95 Mustang last weekend. I can’t wait to get the car going and it will be driven on the road time to time. Did they say anything about shifter stops? Mine bolts that are in a spot where you’d think they would be stops look like yours, all the way in.

[@DragBoss351Cleveland]

I didn’t see any stops, not a lot of throw either. Right there. I bet yours will be more fun than a barrel of monkeys

[@mr.weaver2682]

@ your’s will be fun too!

[@michaelclanton1152]

How much does that trans weigh without the bell and pressure plate?

[@DragBoss351Cleveland]

Prob about 100 lbs, way lighter than a C4.

[@jcnpresser]

I’m sure you know, but in case you didn’t you got to watch out measuring angle off the carb mount surface, it’s not on the same plane as the engine operating angle, on some intake manifolds.

[@DragBoss351Cleveland]

I understand. But trying to make it close as possible, to what it was, so should be good where I am at. Thanks for the heads up my friend

[@RonnieLeslie-cj1yj]

Why not run a V Gate shifter, that would have been used in this period. They are the best way to shift for drag racing or for nostalgic purposes. Ronnie.

[@DragBoss351Cleveland]

They are not as good as a Long Shifter, no comparison. I have a brand new Hurst Ram Rod, and Mr Gasket In line, wan to buy them?

[@RonnieLeslie-cj1yj]

@DragBoss351Cleveland around my neck of the woods, they were the shit, when I was young. Nowadays, not so much, I guess. Ronnie.

[@DragBoss351Cleveland]

@RonnieLeslie-cj1yj yes the Long shifter is heads and shoulders above. But I do like how they shift.

[@jesse75]

Well I've had both. Prefer FE power.

[@DragBoss351Cleveland]

Do what works for you

[@jongallant6054]

Friendly Advice: Don’t wear gloves when drilling. The company I work for builds multi million dollar airplanes everyday. After a co-worker lost a finger. It was concluded that wearing gloves to protect his hands when drilling. Actually allowed the drill bit to snag up onto the glove and pull his hand into the drill bit. And that’s how he lost his finger and crippled the rest off his other fingers on that hand. Using Gloves while drilling around a drilling machine of any kind is actually more dangerous. Than bare hands. Stop doing it. Anybody who does it. STOP.

[@DragBoss351Cleveland]

Well the dang thing caught the drill, so I said need some gloves. Also luckily is not very fast rpm wise. Thanks for the heads up Jon
