Frankenstein T-5 Waggin' Chronicle (vast doesnt do it)
This thing was pulling like a raped ape before the new springs and header gaskets... I can't wait to drive it with the new gaskets and actually have a little torque behind it!

Here's a huge pic of the springs from when i did the e7 swap way back. The heads came with new crane springs installed but never run. Compare them to the springs on the e6's next to em
Yeah. The guy who gave me the springs said not to worry about the rotators in the exhaust- they're mostly there to help the valves rotate during low-RPM driving, which is what the Panthers are intended for. He said since I'll be revving it up a good bit, they'll be able to rotate well enough on their own.
Its not the rotatin but you will have two different spring heights and different spring pressue between intake and exhaust with out proper keepers on the exhaust.
I have a local who says he has some tall valve covers laying around. I was gonna go ahead and order some Edelbrock Elite series, but I'm gonna wait and see if he still has his.

MAF

Rear swaybar
All I need now are the fender liner and Taurus fan and I'll have a lot more done. I had the access to the parts, but it was too hot and I was already about to fall out from dehydration.
Once I get the valve covers and get this other stuff straight, the drivetrain should be pretty much "done"... except the axle. Still need the T/L and 3.73s. Then it'll be on to the suspension. I'm gonna wait to install the rear swaybar until I can get new poly bushings and end links for the front, so it'll have the full effect all at once.

I'll be getting the new bushings and end links next week if I can manage things properly. I'd rather wait. I may even go back for the solid front out of that police unit.
I only paid $25 for the MAF and air box- probably would have paid that just in shipping. The TC had the same fender liner as the later Crown Victorias. If there was a difference, I couldn't tell.
