Man that’s some great progress! I feel like I’m gonna move at a snails pace compared to you lol. Yeah the clutch can be aggravating to figure out at 1st but sounds like u got it.
Well the sad thing is I put a clutch in the car last November. I felt like an idiot when I realized what I did. I was concerned I put the clutch in backwards and that's why it felt so lite. I feel I've taken a really long time putting the car back together. It spun the bearing back in March. So I'm going on 5 months down.Man that’s some great progress!

Nah your doing good I done the same thing when I put my 1st clutch in by myself. I have always been a do it yourselfer kinda guy, so in my teen years my 1st mustang was a 88 GT I put the clutch in backwards and have a friend that’s a master ford mechanic told me and had to back up and punt and take everything back out and do it all over, but that’s what it’s all about learning in my opinion.Well the sad thing is I put a clutch in the car last November.

I put the clutch in backwards on an 81 Chevy truck I did a manual trans conversion on. So now every time I install a clutch I'm always worried I put it in the right way.Nah your doing good I done the same thing when I put my 1st clutch in by myself.

Hah yea I learned my lesson after that one myselfI put the clutch in backwards on an 81 Chevy truck I did a manual trans conversion on. So now every time I install a clutch I'm always worried I put it in the right way.
I got the engine installed in the car this weekend. I put it in on Saturday and then the clutch didn't feel right so it came back out Sunday morning.
I left the transmission in the car. All I did was put a jack under the bell housing and jack it up until it can't go any higher. Then the motor goes in with out the upper intake, valve covers, exhaust, accessories, ect. It slid right in only took me about 10 minutes to stab the motor.This is progressing nicely! When you pulled the engine, did you leave the transmission in place or did you pull the engine and transmission together? If you left the transmission in place, was it a painful exercise to get the engine reinstalled and bolted to the transmission while in the car?
I wanted to just do a straight forward swap with factory mustang parts to start with. It may happen down the line. I haven't decided yet if that's what I want to do or not. I kinda like the idea of throwing on a procharger down the line.just out of curiosity or maybe I missed it in a previous post why no Windstar intake?
