im getting my alunimun driveshaft tomorow, so i might have the new transmission in and the car running with the 4.30s, i just wanted to know if the maximum motorsports adj lower controll arms are good or is their something better, i might get them for $120(lca)

99blkcobra · September 15th, 2008, 04:52 PM

driveshaft just came in, so i can start working on the car, ill have some picture of the stuff that broke and some of the car

If you run a 315/35 in the rear? No.

It's a ratio of height to width. Think this way: 35=35% of the width of the tire. So 40% of 255 = 102. 35% of 315=110. That's fairly close. If you did 315/40, it would be taller than the front. I run 255/40 in the front and 295/35 in the rear. I feel like that makes sense but I'm not sure. Haha

99blkcobra · September 15th, 2008, 06:08 PM

what rim looks better in the front 17*8 or 17*9 the tire is going to be 255/35

Reloaded · September 15th, 2008, 06:23 PM

Not sure but I'm running an 18x8.5 in the front with the 255/40. Why 255/35?

99blkcobra · September 16th, 2008, 01:28 AM

lighter and i have new tires all four, im going to sell my 275/40/17 drag radial rear, i dont want 275 in the front

99blkcobra · September 17th, 2008, 02:07 AM

pulled the transmission out, the block is bad, $4000 to get the new block and the car running, labor, block is about $400-800, i dont want to mess with the car anymore

Smoothgrandmama · September 17th, 2008, 06:30 AM

That sucks man

97mustanggt · September 18th, 2008, 01:00 AM

wat do u mean the block is bad...wat is wrong with it?

99blkcobra · September 18th, 2008, 01:52 AM

ill get some pictures of it, but the block is broken were the transmission is supost to bolt on, only three of nine bolts were holding the transmission housing and the motor mount held the transmissoin so it wouldnt fall, the housing broke all around were the transmission wasnt even attached to the motor. found a 01 cobra engine for 450 assembled with 7000 miles, just needs the heads put on.

ill have pictures, my brother got the camera take away by the cops, dont know when ill get it back

97mustanggt · September 19th, 2008, 03:19 PM

fox87stang · September 19th, 2008, 06:52 PM

just to fore worn you, I just put 4.10s and 305 555R in the back of my 99 and have broken the knuckles in the rear on both sides ($550 x 2) If i could re-do it, i would get higher gears and DRs or 4.10 and no Drs. Since im going through the police academy right now, its going to be sitting for 3 more months unless i sell my truck
