[Mr. Man]

Wish I could find something with my '88's VIN on it. Like to see if I could find it, if it's still out there.

Does anyone do Marauder window stickers?

Does anyone do Marauder window stickers? A guy out of Tennessee named Ritchie White - let me look around for his email address - I posted it here in recent weeks.

Only 87-89 Foxbodies.....???
WTF!
They made them for 15 years, from '79 until '93.
Does me no good for my '85 GT, nor my '84 GT Vert.

You "Da Man".

.I understand Ford is only paying attention to the cool looking foxes. :D :P

You are wrong there....
To be honest, I've never really liked the 'aero' Foxbodies.
The dash layout was a friggin mess.
The seats sucked compared to the '85 - '86 halo headrest bucket seats.
The GTs were hideous with those cheese grater taillights.
The 4 eyeds were, and still are, the sweetest, cleanest looking Foxbodys....ever.

Nope, even though I'm 'working' from home....the drinking (of Coronas!) doesn't start until 5:30PM. Then all bets are off!

Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using TapatalkWasn't it you who used to say 'it's 5:30 somewhere' at Klingers?

[Joe Walsh]

You must be thinking of Gordon/HAGGIS.
Although I completely agree with his proclamation!

Speaking of my 'ugly' 85 5.0 GT Foxbody, I picked up this lil 'ole 6 speed to bolt behind the upcoming and ingoing 363 SBF.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200327/7bfd55de4d4b2b7f17f2c52af0ac45 ff.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200327/f2679b81fe1f690871ebaed554bdc4 91.jpg

The throws on the shifter are so short and crisp!
With a 3:55 rear should be a nice combo.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200328/b23db1870d7d9c478cfc2e389a8dfb 83.jpg

Close to mine. My 2nd is a 1.78 and 3rd being 1.30.

Like all produced the quick 1-2 is quite tricky to achieve without missing and grinding (keep in mind mine is still a 100% ‘12 GT500 bone stock unit and pretty much stock shifter) But now 20,000 old it behaves no differently at least.

They addressed this problem with the 2nd gear ratio change not too mention the obviously better fork guides and other goodies. I guess the biggest issue was lack of fluid movement from the master. Not sure what your plans are but I went with a monster billet master from Tick Performance that seemed to address any and all issues I had.

Hard to compare a Marauder against an ‘85 fox but I think your combo sounds stout!

I wish first held out just a wee bit longer and the same for 5th but overall it’s hard to complain. I’m 95% confident I couldn’t have picked a better matched gearing for this heavier car.

Keep us updated!

What rear gears are you running?
I'm going to run a cable operated clutch if the fork doesn't interfere with the LT headers.
BTW: How did you check the 'bellhousing' run-out vs flywheel/pilot bearing with the Tremec?

My newly installed 4.30’s felt great but only lasted one month. (Or should I say one rolling 1st gear hard launch on street tires in Mexico)
Under advice of my gear guy he recommended dropping back to a 4.10 because most ladies say more girth is best.
The 4.10’s feel pretty much no different than the 4.30’s did.
I didn’t bother checking anything. My original clutch, flywheel, slave, and trans where a matched set to a 1,800 mile take out of a newly purchased shop car going under the knife. So I just ordered a new pilot bearing for an ‘04 Cobra (my short block) and everything was peachy for a short time.

I was notified well in advance the clutch was quite toasted but I wanted it for R&D. It held up maybe a year and of course at that time budget constraints forced me to purchase another next to new but used stock clutch/plate/flywheel off EBay on the cheap and I added a new stock slave cylinder, but had to retain the pilot as this time around I couldn’t get it out easily.
Bled her out (always a pain to do..) and it has been good since. That was back in ‘14 so besides slipping on the dyno at anything near 5,700 it’s held up perfectly fine on the streets and honestly I couldn’t vision pedaling it any longer at anything over 6,100 or so. I couldn’t imagine a good stout shifter, stickies, and a McLeod RXT..

Roughly 19,000 miles now!

You might consider ordering a Marti Report: martiauto.com. These are frequently mentioned in ads for Ford products in Hemmings Motor News.
