Swapped out my 4.11 gears today for 3.70's that have been fitted into a nodular case. I also welded in drain and fill bungs to my 9" housing.
...Going to countersink the drain plug for a little extra ground clearance.
...Decided to cut a drain passage into the recessed/countersunk area of the plug for better draining.

Here's another video of the Stang at Sac Raceway. Spun a little out of the hole and tapped the rev-limiter a little at the top of 1st but made it up mid-track, watch her go after I hit 2nd! (...Right lane was slippery, almost consistently a tenth of a second slower in that lane compared to the left)

...Sorry, that run was 12.99 I believe, the best run of the day (in the left lane) was 12.93.

All good things come to an end. Time to sell out and put a down payment on a house.
Please email me via the ad for best results. I'm not on here that often these days.

Since I Kept the Mustang "In the family" I thought I would show this year's upgrades/changes as per the new owner..... On the growing list is a color change, new hood, front spoiler, smoothed and painted engine bay, welded shock towers, hydroboost braking, custom interior and audio, power steering, new wheels and tires, more horsepower; (Probably a Windsor stroker, EFI and boost/power adder).

Very nice work, what do you mean by welded shock towers? Did you get the brace kit or seam welded them up.

Seams/structural. I never pulled the engine when I owned it, all engine work was done while in the bay. With the motor out, we took the opportunity.
