    ERA Shift Linkage Upgrade

    I started to notice last summer that when the car got up to temp, the shifter linkage would sometimes get difficult to move fore and aft. Moving it side to side first would seem to free it. Kind of annoying while driving. I felt sure the problem was in either the front heim joint or firewall...

    New Cleveland castings

    Probably not a whole lot of folks using Cleveland engines, but for those that are, there are many more components and parts available these days. 7 years ago when I did my engine, aluminum heads were not available. Now they are from several manufacturers. AFD, CHI, and Edelbrock all make them...

    Powermaster 140 Amp Alternator problems

    I installed the Powermaster alternator more than a year ago and have had excellent results...until a week ago. While on a ride, I noticed the voltmeter in the car was reading just over 12 volts instead of 13.8 volts. Soon, the alternator light started blinking on and off. A check with a...

    Knock Off hubcaps

    My car uses true pin drive hubs on the front. The tapered roller bearings press directly into the pin drive hub. The spindle nut is located 3 inches or so inside the hub. I had what sounded like a wheel bearing go bad the other day. How can that be with only 7500 miles on the car? It was...

    Alternator problems and Stereo installation

    We installed a stereo system in the car this spring. It was a time consuming project to make the installation look like belonged on the car, be functional (sound good), and not cut up the car to get it in. I didn’t have to alter the door pockets at all to get the speakers in. It uses Hi-VI...

    Fuel and throttle linkage changes

    The GT is back on the road after several months of additions and updates. Over the winter, I made a new throttle linkage setup that pulls from the front of the engine. The cable originally pulled from the left side of the engine…simpler, but the exhaust heat wanted to melt the jacket on the...

    ZF Internal Photos

    Here's a couple of websites from our Pantera friends showing the internals of ZF's. I recognize the photo at the top of page 5 with the ring gear and dirty hand! It's one I took (the wife took) when I inverted my ZF a few years ago. I was in the process of replacing the ring gear bolts with...

    Swain Tech exhaust coating

    I got the exhaust system back from Swain the other day. The ceramic they do is not cosmetic or for corrosion resistance (it's a stainless system so corrosion is not a worry). It is only sprayed on the outer surfaces. It is advertised as white in color and is fairly thick. It is supposed to...

    Best One Yet

    The wife and I were out for a ride (last one of the season?) in the GT a few weeks ago. It was maybe high 30's, low 40 degree F range. We went through a small town that has a single traffic signal. On the way out of town, speed limit about 40 mph, houses on both sides of the road, we notice a...

    Alternator Grounding

    I was about 60 miles from home on Sunday when the alternator light came on. The ammeter showed a 30 amp discharge. The light went off and came on several times, then stayed on. I shut off all the electrical drains I could. Still a 15 amp discharge. The EFI didn't like it too well, but the...

    Is it REAL?

    I've had the GT on the road less than 1 month. In that time, I've put almost 1800 miles on it. It is almost (but not quite) as fun watching people's reaction to the car when they see it, as it is driving it. Driving it is a real blast. The wife and I stopped at the local Pizza place on the...

    Cleveland Exhaust

    I'm finishing up fabrication on the exhaust system for the Cleveland engine. The physical size of the engine, the ERA chassis/body, and angle the ports come off the heads complicates the routing of the system, so it is similar to normal systems, but a little different. It uses 1-3/4" 304...

    Hot Rod Magazine

    The November Hot Rod has a review of the 5.4L engine being used in the new GT. I just got it in the mail today, so haven't had a chance to read it. Fair amount of photos. Interesting that they used F-250's as test mules for the engine.
