sounds like it, i have a lift and shop pm me if your interested in working something out

if u changed the cam wouldnt that change the firing order to an h.o. order

I have no idea I know nothing bout it I just know I have the old firing order and that supposively that means I have a 2 piece rear main seal

85 mustang 5.0 is the same 1 piece rear main as the 86+

1983-1995 5.0 have the 1 piece rear main. Actually late 82 was when the changer from 2 piece to 1 piece was made.

I have installed a rms on an 85 long block I installed in a 1988 efi setup. Pulled the engine out of the 85 and installed the rear main seal myself. Was def a 1 piece.


You should also have the new 351 firing order as well, 1985 was the first year from this.


So if you have the old firing order and a 2 piece rear main seal then you don't have an original engine and I have no clue what you have.

it could also be an intake leak running down the tranny and looking like its a rear main

His motor in his car is not stock and I know that it's a 306 that's all I

I'm going to take a second look at the block and get some #s idk why I have an old firing order when I bought it was told it was a 306 never has chance to pull apart yet so can't b positiver idk if block is original or switched can't really get pics to load up I don't use a computer only an iPhone I'll check the intake and the pcv an see if that's what it is has been leaking for a while I do know that my bell housing and tranny have a nice crack which I figured was due to motor mounts and tranny mount which has cracked straight through them both

Ed I'll take u up on that deal as soon as I look a little more into it I prob could do it myself if it's 1piece I just don't know how to do the clutch

Sweet thanks Ed I will let u know asap will prob get under the car today or something

Thanks mustang5l5 I've already pulled the trans out gonna pull bellhousing off tommorrow and prob clutch and flywheel do I have to use something to keep the flywheel still when I losen the bolts?

I'll prob do it off the balancer then don't wanna risk nething so I just pull flywheel off then there is some kind of cover that is rtv sealed correct? And then I understand that the main seal will b there and I'm guessing when I pull it out of it's 2 pieces it's obviouly not a 1 piece

Thanks tim ill prob do that if I have probs I got your number and can send pics if I get stuck but I think I might b able to handle it... Hopefully!

Even easier I was reading to lay a piece of wood over it but that'll b easier

No I said my car had "RAN" in the 11s before I got it and they guy I bought it off pulled stuff off and the car is 100x better than it was when u seen it

Oo no but he knows what it will be next year well prob a twin turbo 347 already gonna start collecting for the build

you betta be at my garage after, getting that thing done. mines almost done and we gotta race lol

haha race straight into the garage doors maybe

dude wad u forget i drive a tow trk for a living.. ill move those cars outa the way real quick with the wrecker

haha u aint there yet ur car ALMOST looks as good as mine ALMOST! but urs is still slow jackass lol

bump he needs to get this thing done.. moneys talking right now

just burn it

wat do you need help with? if u got the trans out already the rest of it should be cake. u should also think about doing the pilot bearing and throwout bearing well your down there.

Well everyone I managed to get the bellhousing flywheel and clutch off easier than I thought and like most of u said it was a 1 piece thank god now it's just time to reassemble after I resurface the flywheel thanks for all of your help everyone

F*** you damn lazy ass prick lol u just go there and make me mad throwing shit at me lol I ask for a screwdriver and we end up leavin to go to stripclubs and shit lmfao
