sounds great man. Nice work. Where did you get the tko500 tranny at? Did you run into any major issues while doing the engine swap? And what year is the 351 and what did it come out of?

[Jmont99]

@SoCalJohnston Thanks for the compliment! I got the tko500 through a good friend. he had it on his race car for one year and cleaned, inspected, and changed fluids on it more than anyone would think of doing, it was like brand new. and as for running into any issues, its fit like a glove. no issues. smooth. got the built shortblock from a guy that said the block was from an 89 van

wow, you suck at driving a stick. that was agonizing to listen to you burn the clutch like that and rev it so many times before letting the clutch out. watching that 3 point turn i would have guessed that you were an asain grandmother. definitely a sweet ride though.

@mustangtech331

lol, thanks for your opinion bub. shows what you know

[mustangtech331]

@Jmont99

explain to me how it doesn't? i can clearly hear you dragging the hell out of your clutch at 2:25. i work at a transmission shop, and after seeing you say 'shows what you know' i showed the 3 other guys i work with that rebuild and install trannys with me everyday. all of them confirmed what i said that you are riding the fuck out of your clutch and..like i said.. suck at driving your car.

what do i know, ive only been driving a tko fox for the past 8 years and build trannys everyday

@mustangtech331

again, really dont care about your opinion. i can drive my stang better than you can drive yours. new motor, new clutch, first time out of the garage... "riding the clutch" was the last thing on my mind at that moment. worried about others things. listening for certain noises, checking gauges, making sure i dont hit cars parked right next to my driveway or kids playing in the street one house over.

[Jmont99]

but hey, its a free country, if criticizing someone you do not know about something you have no idea about gives you a hard on, then have at it. i dont care, kid

@mustangtech331 he was being easy on the new set up (i hope) new clutch was needing adjustment from the quardrant (maybe) or yea your right can't drive shit but I think he was going easy getting the feel(LOLOL)

[raerae111187]

@mustangtech331 He was probably getting a feel for the NEW clutch. the NEWLY rebuilt tranny, or he just likes to go through clutches every week, either way, what fucking business is it of yours how HE drives HIS car? It's a nice car and it sounds great. Obviously your "shop" isn't very reputable, or has no business, because if it did, you wouldn't be on youtube starting shit with grown ass men like a little ass kid. If you like to stand around and BS all day, I heard Jiffy Lube was hiring ;)

Well I have to respect his idea. I did it too.  I was tempted to leave my 2.3 badges on :-)

sounds great man love the fox ive got a 351 i jst swapped in my 5.0 and it runs a hell of alot better im getting ready to buy built heads, intake, and cam how much horse would i gain from that? plus my clutch wont hold much more so what type of clutch would u recommend for those up grades?

[GOODolAMERICANMUSCLE]

@mustangtech331 wow you really dragged 3 people over to look at a video just to prove a point on youtube. Get a life.

[bdd58stang]

[SoCalJohnston]
