    Pulled a 1987 out of a hole

    I did, too late now. She’s gone, although I’m not sure there was anything you could have used except maybe a dash and hubs

    Gas vs diesel zf5

    I have a 1989 460 truck that I idi swapped with the ZF five and I believe 4.10s, the smaller gap compared to the t19 I had the idi in before is amazing. I am NA and the ZF doesn’t have that giant gap in the 3-4 shift it’s very helpful when hauling.
