    Fitting a 460 BBF and C-6 trans into an s197....the "lower buck" way

    Let me start off by saying that this is not so much a "build" project as it is a "fitting" exercise. I have different plans for my blue 2005 GT later. I'm just posting these pics for informational purposes for those that might be curious how a 460 will fit into an s197 chassis. However...

    S197 pinion flange adapter question

    Does anyone know if a company makes an adapter that bolts onto the 6 bolt recessed s197 pinion flange that would allow the use of a standard 4 bolt F-150/Explorer style driveshaft end ? ( the bottom item in the pic) The other option is to swap out to a Terminator/F150/Explorer flange but I want...

    First time running the "box" class with my 3V as well as new pb in the 1/8th mile

    Went bracket racing this weekend and had some fun with my 2005 GT. Ran both the box and no-box classes at the same time all 3 days. (6 races total) I had the 2nd slowest car in the Bracket 1 delay box class and raced a few dragsters. That was the first time I have ever ran the box class. It...

    Thanks to Lito for a great tune !

    I bracket race my '05 3V Auto and was having trouble with a "twitchy" throttle while staging the car as well as when I would drive the car onto the trailer. Lito made me a tune that made the throttle feel more predictable and smooth. I took the car to the track last night. He also dropped the...

    Anyone ever heard of a T5 trans swap into a S197 ?

    Here is my dilemma... I cannot run the T56 trans due to a rule in Stock Eliminator that states you cannot have more forward gears than was available from the factory. I wanted to use the factory S197 3650 but no one makes a SFI blowproof bellhousing to work, and the class requires a SFI BH...

    The first S197 Mustang GT NHRA Stocker...it's official now and it was a 3V GT

    Edit: ( 5-02-16) The thread title is incorrect. My apologies. It should read " The newest Ford Mustang GT racing NHRA Stock Eliminator is a 3 valve" I found out this morning that my car is not the first S197 Mustang GT to enter Stock. A racer on the east coast did it in 2009 with a 2008 GT...

    Anyone on this board run a 3V all motor automatic trans drag setup ?

    I see a lot of 3V manual trans dragstrip info, but I am looking for 3v owners ( to compare notes with) that have set up their N/A S197 drag car with an automatic. I am curious how quick one of these S197 cars could go with the factory 5 spd auto and a decent convertor. Or, someone who has...

    Panhard bar bolts seized to the sleeves...not fun times on the '05 GT

    I was loosening up all the rear suspension bolts for a spring, control arms, and panhard bar swap when the fun ended with both p-h bar bolts and the passenger side sway bar frame bolt seized to the sleeve inside the factory bushings. The nuts are off, but no way I can get the bolts out. I tried...

    3V cars: Can the fuel pump control module be turned off in the tune ?

    I am building a drag only '05 GT and would like to go to a return style fuel cell and external pump. Is there the capabilty in the factory ECU to turn off the fuel pump control module so as to prevent a fault code ?

    2005-2009 gas tank question...

    Newbie to the S197 here. Did a search here and on Google trying to figure that saddle tank design out. I am building my 2005 GT as a drag only car. At the most, all I ever need is 5 gallons of fuel at any time. Is there a way to completely close off the passenger side tank from the driver's...

    '05-'09 GT -- 3 in. long wheels studs...anyone ever install them...

    ...with the front hubs still on the car ? Getting the old ones off looks simple. But I wonder, due to the length of the 3 inchers if someone has been able to slide them in from the backside ?

    NHRA Stock Eliminator '09-'10 Mustang GT thread

    O.K. I'm about to pull the trigger on building one or the other. 1. A 2009 (or) 2010 Mustang GT Stocker with the 4.6 3v. I have not seen one yet or heard of anyone building one yet. or...2. A Super Stock GT car with a 3V engine in my 86 Turbo Coupe. Either way, the idea is to build it to...
