Thank you! I was really impressed with the parts. Although hesitant at first I think the single plane and adjusting the cam timing really paid off. In my opinion those are solid numbers for the TFS Stage 1 cam
killer video series, congrats on all the progress - building a 1963 falcon, swapping from a 260/c4 to a 302 T5 - super helpful my friend! keep up the hard work
@@dcheetham8603 I have done 2 T5 swaps in my life. One was on a 1965 Chevy C10 and on that one, to clear a bench seat, I used an Iroc era T5 with an S10 tail housing. However, for the Comet I used a T5 out of a Ford with no modifications to the tail housing. Theres plenty of room in the Comet falcon and I wouldnt worry about swapping tailhousings. That being said theres a part of the floorpan bracing that has to be cut/modified.
Whats nice is your 1990 has valve reliefs so you could run a bit more aggressive cam. Im curious how much torque I am giving up with the single plane but overall Im happy its a fun car.
Impressive! To be fair, its the same carb as the initial dyno pull right? So it was probably causing a similar HP loss with the old engine but to a lesser degree as a % of overall HP. I'm assuming the linkage was the same for both engine combos as well. The other noticeable difference was the air filter removed for the later dyno run vs the original was left on. Overall great results, especially considering it was a budget build that certainly woke this thing up.
So i had this same thought too and its definitely possible. That being said the carb/linkage/etc. was all removed to swap between by dual plane and the single plane so its hard to say. Also on the graph the power diverges (with the throttle fixed) around the same peak power it made before. So it could have been wrong before but the engine didnt need the extra airflow. Good point though. Again I really appreciate you watching and commenting
Yes! Nice job!👍🏼 those figures were pretty spot on! I need this set up is in my future😀 I’m still stock 89 5.0 ho t5 in a 65 mustang. What gears are you going with? I just got a 3rd member from quick,also 8” with 3.55 ls, need to get that in..💪🏼🤙🏼
This has been a great series. I’m so glad the budget build worked. And besides, everyone knows driving slow cars, fast, is incredible
Couldn’t agree more. With the 3.80 gears / limited slip I have planned it should be a hoot
Excited to see the next chapter of the comet!!!!
My man!
Hell yeah buddy awesome 😎👍
Well done! That's massive gains.

Thanks and good luck with your project! The T5 was the single best modification ive done to the car. Really woke it up!
@@truckandroll989 you bet - I believe you used the stock tail shaft housing with rear-oriented shifter vs forward/s10 style, correct?

@@truckandroll989 right on! Thx
Great video, im looking at this same set up on a stock 1990 h.o. short block.

Its got 3.55s right now but Im going with 3.80s and a Track Lock diff
@@truckandroll989 ahh, I ordered 3.80’s but changed order,and went with the 3.55 hope I didn’t f-up by overthinking ..🤣✌🏼
