Done! Preheated to 600. Welded with 7018, in steps opposite previous weld. Post heat to almost 1000… wrapped and left to cool. Thanks everyone for your input.

Want to weld my housing to my differential and am getting conflicting info on whether the housing is cast steel or iron. Any advice on how others do it?

My 05 Mustang Gt auto tranny is toast, motor has 147k. Bought a 2007 4.6 and auto trans with 77K. Motor has Detroit Rocker cams, CAI with tune and long tube headers. Can I use the 07 ECU? Or do I need to stick with the 05 and by another SCT tuner and install a new tune ?

I think you can get close to 350 RWHP NA, maybe a bit more. 350 Hp is a bunch for a 281 CI. Cams, tune, CAI, long tube headers, bigger throttle body, underdrive pulleys, aluminum drive shaft will get you there…Reducing weight won’t make hp but will make your car quicker. I have all the above...

I am knee-deep into my 05 GT Street/strip car build. So far I have cut the front end off my car and replaced it with a rock solid tube front end. BMR member and control arms should be here next week… So that leaves me with the next item on my build sheet… Struts…. I’d like to go coil over, but...

Thanks for everyone’s help. I got it pulled last night!

My motor and transmission are ready to pull finally and I’m not sure where to attach my cherry picker. I’ve run a 2000lb strap under the motor @ the bell housing. Not sure where to attach in the front. Anyone?

Great thoughts, suggestions, and recommendations. I hope to have my motor and bad trans (have a motor and trans to replace) out by Tuesday… then things start happening quicker.
