Trunk Monkey's.
Rich is a gentle giant and good people.
Greg,
Try Diluthtrading.com. They make the long tail shirts and t's. Good for you for getting the hydraulic T/O bearing sorted.

Greg and I got into some tight spaces during the project; the trunk wasn't one of them.If both of you were in the trunk, I'd get worried...
Nice work on finishing things up!
I'll round up a 26mm for the future. But the thing is, I bought the plugs from 440 Source specifically for their Stealth heads.
They're almost too good. Except for the initial removal part, which can be handled either by experience or the FSM, the instructions are long and detailed. One of the complaints I had is that the install instructions haven't been updated for the TKX, which has a few differences from the TKO, most notably the tunnel modifications.
SST includes handouts for the installation, hydraulic t/o bearing and m/c install, and tunnel mods. Even after reading all the documents, its easy to lose your place and overlook items. I highlighted passages and made notes in the margins and still got out of order in a couple of places. There's no shame in reading, re-reading, then re-reading again as the project moves forward.
agreed with the above.
i had print outs of the SST TKO installation instructions about six months before ordering. even had the Keisler instructions printouts for about three years before that.
watched the YouTube vids on bellhousing alignment multiple times from SST and others too
all made for a weekend 727-to-TKO conversion possible (kinda like on TV)

First time posting a video to YT and to FBBO. The idle wouldn't back down. I'm running a Lokar throttle cable, and had the Lokar kickdown cable with the auto. Without the kickdown, the throttle cable doesn't have enough resistance to pull it back to idle. Greg has a carton full of return springs that we're trying out.

The videos don't load or play. The screen tells you that they are "private", whatever that means.
I know what I did. I'll fix it.

Maybe they operate like an old peep show?
The content defaulted to Private; I switched it to Public. It should be viewable now.
awesome!!!!
be honest….how nervous were you seeing Kern Dog driving your car around?

Awesome - well done lads!
I'm sure there are a couple minor adjustments like throttle springs and such, but looks like you are basically done the hard part.
