Re: [Tigers] just the messenger - parts and a BON

[Gary <maliburevue@yahoo.com>]

The tailshaft pictured is part #C90Z-7A040-A. It is 17" long compared to the
Tiger tailshaft which is 15 1/2" long, so you would need to shorten your
driveshaft. Also the shifter is in the wrong location so you would have to
shorten the linkage and drill the mounting holes. It has a 31 spline mainshaft
compared to the Tiger's 28 spline mainshaft, so you would have to change your
output yoke, too. The speedometer opening is on the wrong side as well. The
only thing it has going for it is that is it is a wide ratio box, assuming
that box goes with that tailshaft.
 
Now, the engine needs Tiger exhaust manifolds. The front damper and crank
pulley won't clear the steering rack and the back of the engine has those
crossover tubes.
 
It appears this setup came out of a '69 and up Cyclone/Torino/Ranchero. The
most common form of this engine used a two-barrel carburetor, initially with
9.5:1 compression. It had hydraulic lifters and valves of 1.773 in (intake)
and 1.442 in (exhaust), and was rated (SAE gross) at 220 hp @ 4600 rpm and
300 lb7ft @ 2600 rpm.
 
Other than that, it's a straight drop-in.

    I agree with you; it looks way too long.
