I’ll stick with a cable clutch.
Last thing I need is a hydraulic leak in the interior.

Here is a recent install of the Malwood hydraulic clutch:

Of course. 😂

The 84 Cougar, 86 Mustang GT, and 92 Mustang GT all had 5.0L and thermal clutches from factory and all had 5.0L’s.

There were only 2 times I had high temperatures.

The cause was running the air conditioning while boulevard cruising on a hot humid evening and going up the Grapevine.

I was aware of the potential when both happened.

Turned the a/c off for a few minutes and everything was fine.

Btw, all OBS trucks had thermal clutches as well.

Ron, winter is not over in all parts of this wonderful country.

My tractor tires are delayed a day…stuff happens.

In addition to the heater hose trick, I install the screw (leave a little loose) by passenger kick panel to support  heater assembly after placing the studs and hoses through firewall.

This allows the installation of the 4 nuts in engine compartment.

I also place cardboard, floor mat, or kneeling pad over the door sill plate to minimize edge digging into my side.

I have same project…when it warms up some…like 40F. 😂

Looking good 😎

The bigger cam seems to be causing my power brakes not to work slowing down at redlights and such.

 
Aren’t you supposed to stop at red lights? 😜

At least you “can” get a replacement at local grocery store. 😁

I agree with removing the rear sway bar.

Appears to be well sorted.

Nice paint from what I see.

Rear needs sorting out before tires get cut up.

Although not all parts are 65, most people wouldn’t even know.

Tastefully done…I wouldn’t be embarrassed to drive it. 😁

Is that the van/truck housing used for Ford Sbf’s?

Take a look at this info from Ranger Station site.

Perhaps the same pump can be used with custom made bracket(s).

I like how the pump outlet is at the bottom.

Was the seal that squished out a really “soft slippery rubber” when gas is on it?

Spectra Premium EFI tank has a seal like that.
Small amount of fuel was found on floor following day, after initial fill…5 gallons at a time.
So I used a thin layer of Aviation Form a gasket to hold in place after it tacked up.

I considered using grease too.
Just did not want to repeat this process in winter.

Perhaps, manufacturing oils maybe or poor install by my head mechanic.
Have not run across any issues since…coolant is another story.

The problem for me being over 6'-2" is the convertible one piece seat riser is one inch higher than the stock individual seat risers. When I did mine I believe a full width for non convertibles was available at NPD. I bought a one piece seat riser, and cut and spliced the center hump into each stock seat riser.

 
RPM, did you shorten the stock seat riser too?
