It was in pretty rough shape so I took  it to my machinist to see if it could be saved.<img src="http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i179/chrisv_10/items/551580_4301678178266_1167296661_n_zps2edafa77.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Came out looking great! only $25 versus the cost of a new one. <img src="http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i179/chrisv_10/items/534203_4305367510497_643420553_n_zps9e909b45.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />My  Exedy clutch came in along with solid motor mounts. I figured I  wouldn't be able to feel/hear the extra vibration because my car is  pretty loud. The old rubber mounts were trashed. <img src="http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i179/chrisv_10/items/389765_4301152605127_2009100934_n_zps6af4b2e7.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Figured I would install a new rear main seal while the motor is still out of the car.<img src="http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i179/chrisv_10/items/198346_4326647282478_1067043274_n_zps366ac480.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Exedy clutch installed!<img src="http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i179/chrisv_10/items/389161_4326122349355_1139428732_n_zps3b9b649a.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Cleaning up the stock T45. It also is a direct bolt on to the Lincoln motor. <img src="http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i179/chrisv_10/items/198367_4326648722514_1050024940_n_zps0bcff52f.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Fresh paint! Looking like new! <img src="http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i179/chrisv_10/items/307044_4333399891289_1585100883_n_zps6be6540d.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />You  are required to swap over your GT oil pan as the DOCH oil pan has a  extra little reservoir on the side of it and clearance becomes a issue. I  also read to swap over the DOCH pickup tube. But, I put the GT and DOHC  tube side by side and they are completely the same! Although the write  up I read they were swapping over a 97 MarkVIII motor so they might be  different that year. <img src="http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i179/chrisv_10/items/382524_4333397611232_379849901_n_zps97d0e936.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />I kept looking at these plain jane valve covers and decided to give them a different look. <img src="http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i179/chrisv_10/items/552519_4333402571356_1584787322_n_zpsab3e6c69.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Cleaning them up! <img src="http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i179/chrisv_10/items/556969_4333415851688_163724969_n_zps38699077.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Looks a lot better doesn't it? Ford racing blue goes a long way in changing your motors appearance. <img src="http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i179/chrisv_10/items/uploadfromtaptalk1341028540409_zps0b4a7d9e.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
