Got bolts from CNC motorsports, for $39.80 including shipping. They're on the way. Now to find some blots for clutch housing to flywheel, and get injectors cleaned. I just might be able to drive this car before turkey day...

Never mind found it, 16" +/- .25"

I found that again, and have looked thru it and the one on Merkur Encyclopedia. However I see no pics of what it look like when they're talking about reusing the stock 2 piece drive shaft. Take the front section of the stock 2 piece driveshaft and have a T5 yoke welded on and balanced at a drivesha...

The one pictured above is the after T5 swap. The front part of the shafts are different, the back end of the shafts are all the same, even between Scorp/XR IIRC.

Thanks dude, now I just gotta get some grade ? For the clutch housing to flywheel bolts.

What I can't find are the lengths of the bolt for crank to flywheel, and the clutch to crank. I'm going form C3 to T5 with my swap. I can measure once I get the flex plate, off, but I would rather have the bolts in hand before I get the flex plate off so I can just start putting things together.

How about a length for those bolts? Specifically the length of crank to flywheel, and the clutch to flywheel.

I know any replacement is gonna be the wrong color. I may be able to get replacement doors from the same car I get the drivers fender from. Wont know till I go to get the fender. Drilling 54 spot welds sounds like a really good time

I finally have my MMI from the work comp doc(had back surgery to slice a bulging disc in Feb), and have started working on my XR again. The ultimate goal is getting her pretty again, and reliable enough to resume DD service. At least until I die, or the smog nazis ban ICEs completely :roll: While I ...

Thanks to Jacek, I now have a 4 cyl T-5 to stick into my XR. Just have to get a few more bits, some oil, and then swap er in and then dispose of the C-3. Have had my fun with the auto trannies, but it's time to go manual and never look back...

Ah, I was wondering if we'd see it again. Merkur Desktop has been my home page for, well as long as I can remember

Thanks, that makes it more clearer

I found that again, and have looked thru it and the one on Merkur Encyclopedia. However I see no pics of what it look like when they're talking about reusing the stock 2 piece drive shaft.

I have one good used VSS for Scorpio autotrans $50.00 shipped in lower 48 USA and some random trans shifter surround bits for Scorpio auto trans these are $15.00 for the lot plus shipping from 80503. Shifter surround x2 IIRC shifter gate, and the little plastic "plates" for lack of better term, 3 to...

Dang, I just got rid of my last Scorpio trans mount IIRC
