Did you go with the granny's speed shop kit?

Just curious if it works with the different sized T5 bellhousing from the SN95 mustangs. Also is there any differences in wiring up the 1994 engine vs one from a foxbody?

Yes I'm using a granny's kit in the car. I had very minimal issues with the kit. My engine is from an sn95 and my transmission is off an 85 mustang. I had to add a piece to my trans mount because the holes didn't line up. Easy fix. As far as wiring it should be very similar. I used the guidelines granny speed shop provides as well as some other info around the internet. Right now I'm currently running a custom wiring set up I made on my own tho.

Looking at the thermostat housing..it is higher than your rad and the rad cap..so you should address that or you will get a big pocket of air in your upper hose.

Cool ride. Keep the posts coming.

yes sir. This was addressed by getting an inline radiator cap on the upper pipe. No cooling issues whatsoever.

thank you. Car is currently getting some changes and is about to get a paint job. Updates coming up.:smoker:

Here’s some updated pics of the car. Went candy apple red and also debating on which spoiler I want on the car.https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...5a75a239b.jpeg

how are you liking the swap? Im up in the air on a v8 swap at the moment but if i do one it would be sbf.

Power steering.
 

I am in the process of putting a 302 in my fc. Just removed the rotary and I'm trying to decide to buy grannies kit or not. The power steering lines sit up high on my RHD rack, as i remember the original LHD rack had less lines. Would you be able to post some oil pan clearance pics? I have read posts that say grannies kit puts the engine to far forward I'm assuming because of oil pan clearance. Thank you.

Have a look through this thread if you haven’t already.
