COMET CENTRAL

I used a conversion u-joint on the aluminum DS with a yoke that fit the T5. Like yours, my crown vic yoke did not fit. I think I have an extra set of bolts for the rear flange, if you need them, PM me.

I wanted the bluetooth because there really isn't a place to set your phone when you have it plugged in to aux cord when you're bouncing around a field. I think I paid just over $100 CAD for it.

Originally designed as a V12 aircraft engine, it was a pretty fancy engine for a tank!

Great skills to have. You should be proud, sounds like he has found his calling! We should all be so lucky!

Not sure if was mentioned above, but 6 cylinder tie rod ends are smaller than the V8's. And the 65 upgrade is money well spent.
