I am in the middle of it right now...so far its taking me three months to do it. I think I can have it finished by the summer of 2006. No time for it. But have Sawson send you some information he sent me. He has good pics and information.

Working Mon-Sat. Leave house at 4am. Home by 7pm. Sundays are family time. I will be taking some time off so I can try to make the car show. I have help next weekend and I will have it running by next Sunday night hopefully.

Yeah, I know how other priorities can eat up "car time". I haven't even changed my oil since January

Search www.fordmuscle.com for a how-to. As for tips? Assuming you have ALL THE PARTS ALREADY....... watch out if you're removing the AOD by yourself. Its HEAVY. Use 3-4 feet worth of 3/8" socket extentions with a swivle socket on the end to easily reach the bolts holding the AOD in. Use the same extention from around the sway bar area to remove the starter.
www.mustangworks.com has a good clutch how-to in under the drive line section.
Don't forget thread lock on the pressure plate, flywheel and drive shaft bolts!

How did you get the pedals out Greg. I did it with my 89 almost ten years ago but I dont remember taking the dash out.

Pedals were really not bad at all, I didn't remove the dash, DROP THE STREERING COLUME DOWN, that made everything much much easier.
