Jeremi, maybe Alexander can make you a wooden shift knob for you since he does all the other custom wood stuff.

That would look real nice in that car! :thumbsup:
More is better!

I thought more about this, and all I would want is just the silver insert to be replaced with wood. The problem is the 6 speed diagram on top of it. I can live without it, but others probably shouldn't
It's definitely a more refined transmission, no doubt. The 6th .50 final drive will definitely help the economy, but still not sure what gear to go with for the rear end.
The driveshaft has been installed, and again, it's a very tight fit with the 4" shaft. I also re-filled the transmission with Syncromesh instead of Mercon V as suggested by Tremec guys.

I also finished all the fuel line plumbing with teflon braided lines. Vac lines were very simplified. Throttle and cruise cable took some modifying but nothing better than stock cables
To an untrained eye, the engine bay looks almost original. I expect an modest 60-70rwhp gain over stock 220-225rwhp out of this combo.
The car runs and drives well, although I might have bought too much clutch. :eek-large: It's begging for twice the torque for sure. :laugh:
I have to finish some wiring for the trans, and hopefully the car will see dyno sometime this month.
More pictures and videos soon.

I completed most of the wiring. The clutch pedal switch is wired in to avoid crank while in gear scenario. Unfortunately, I will have to remove the dash again. It's impossible to get to the wire that runs to the brake pressure switch before it goes thru the firewall, and that's where I need to tap in the other side of the clutch switch. I want the CC to disengage not only when brake pedal is pressed, but also when the clutch is pressed in. Tbird SC is done this way from the factory. Oh the OCD joy. :roll_over: The trans harness is done as well, just the reverse switch and the VSS sensor wires. I like simple. :wink2-green
I am getting an aluminum cover made for the reservoir so that it can be powdercoated or polished, and still removable when adding the brake fluid.

Mach 1 I believe.

Looks just like the '99-01 Cobra intake too.
I saw this beautiful car at Carlisle and in true Jeremi fashion it seems he has completely changed it up in less than 2 months! :thumbsup:

It's a complete new car take out 03 Mach 1 engine. The intake manifold is similar to that of 01 Cobra. The lower intake is the same with 03 Marauder, which gives me the option of flipping the throttle body to driver's side if need be in the future :err-what?:
Since apparently I can't leave nothing alone, I modified the exhaust setup on the car while keeping its dead silent sleeper effect. I had a bunch of parts laying around, just needed some cut and weld time
The passenger's side cat outlet was enlarged to 2.5" by removing the inner 2" pipe Lincoln graced us with. The driver's side got a socket adapter also to 2.5"
