shadow5403 · January 16th, 2008, 01:57 PM

shadow5403 · January 16th, 2008, 01:57 PM

speedconcepts.net for the T-lok

riddlee josh · January 16th, 2008, 01:58 PM

oh ok i won't
but where can i find them for a 98

graystang01 · January 16th, 2008, 01:59 PM

the headers should fit unless they changed sumthin in the 98 models. i thought all that stuff didnt change until 99 but i could be wrong. and here is a t-lock 4 ya Transmission & Drivetrain - Differential, 7.5", 28t, Traction Lock, Frpp - Early Model Classic Mustang Restoration Parts

no 99 is split port.

the 98 k member gets in the way by about 1/4" on the driver side. guys have grinded it down to fit, and others fit fine. they will work, but may require some fittament work.

also, get tubular k member and problem solved without grinding or working at it

sweet thanks. i am pretty good at moving things to make other things fit soo i'll just grind it or something. thanks

yeah no prob. you will notice when installing them that when you rev the engine (look at it in the engine bay) the engine will rev and rotate toward the passenger side. it will rotate down on the pass. side so if you look at the motor from the front bumper, it rotates counterclockwise. to prepare for clearance issues under wot, mac made the driver side collector pipe hang a little lower than the passenger side collector pipe. nice engineering, but a tight fit on the 98 models.

riddlee josh · January 16th, 2008, 02:10 PM

ight thanks for the help and tips

shadow5403 · January 16th, 2008, 02:10 PM

that is not tru at all, i have crome headers and have had them on my car 5 month already. And it is my only car, meaning, it has been exposed to road salt and all the other harsh facters that come with winter in rochester NY, and i have absolutly no rust yet.

however i will agry that u should get powder coted if at all posible.

AtlanticBlue99 · January 16th, 2008, 04:21 PM

not powder coated, but ceramic coated.

the t-lok is a limited slip differential that goes in the rear end carrier. the t-lok locks the axles in a straight line so both spin together but opens up to allow the inside axle to spin faster through a corner.

they come on v8 mustangs produced after 1987, and this along with a steeper gear ratio is a common mod to mustangs and other vehicles that did not come with the unit
