BEFORE —> AFTER. Well, here’s a 6 month transformation. Got to work in late February and this is the work done to this point. There’s still a few things bugging that I’m working out the tweaks with.. But hey! All in due course.

1967 mustang, started as an i6. Installed a 302.

SWIPE FOR C4 TRANNY BEFORE N AFTER! So I had initially got, cleaned, painted and installed a different tranny ~ but there were problems. After diagnosing a strange engine sound, and replacing parts, I found the issue persisted and I was experiencing a strange issue with RPMs not reaching a certain amount, even with gas. So drove a few hours and picked up this C4 also not knowing Itd work lol. Cleaned it up , scrubbed it and power washed it. I didn’t paint it this time. Great news is now the sound is gone and RPMs are going up to what they should. The only issues I’m experiencing which maybe y’all can help with are:
1. Car jerks when shifting gears , named P-D, N-R.
2. RPMs when running in PARK hover around 200-300. They will rev up when I gas it, but still weird. Some folks mentioned timing.
Anyway, thanks for reading and so happy at least it’s running!

Nice work! Thankfully the body looked in decent shape to start with, lots of these are pretty rusty at least around here. Inspiring me to get a Mustang of my own!
