Can't argue about the sound, I also almost bought the V8 on that basis alone. But about that weight: Maybe you can't tell the difference in handling on the track when 200lbs of weight is removed off the nose. But I can. A lot.

Thanks for the help!

I like to take my EcoBoost on HPDE events on road courses.. I spent money modifying it to have nearly Coyote hp but it is 200lbs lighter in the front end. On a road course, I love how it handles compared to a front-heavy GT. Plus it still gets over 30 mpg on the highway when I don't kick the...

What a change from the old days... I have a torsen and don't want a friction modifier in my gear oil, and all I can find now has it already mixed in with the gear oil. Who makes synthetic gear oil nowadays without the friction modifier already mixed in it?

Yes Motul DCTF. I originally went with the BG SynchroShift and it was a great imrovement, but it is expensive, so next time I decided on Motul DCTF. The Motul seems just as good and is less expensive, so that's what I stuck with. I change yearly because I occasionally track mine.

Like others, spreadsheet for everything I've done to it, and a physical folder in a file cabinet with paper receipts/etc

McLeod RST clutch. I'm sure it is a great clutch but my EcoBoost is primarily a daily driver and I couldn't get over the noise it made. And my wife hated it when she drove the car. I removed it and reinstalled a OEM clutch.

Does anyone have a suggestion for a specific company that they had a good experience with?

Thanks for the info. I'll bring steps for the ramp in case I can't get it on the dolly.

I need to tow my Mustang ( manual transmission) about 4 miles, and can keep it at 40 mph or slower. I know a tow dolly can harm the transmission, but would it be okay for just that short trip? On a related note, if I disconnect the driveshaft I assume that I can use a tow dolly even for a tow...

Thanks for the info. I'm probably gonna need to transport mine (currently non-running) from Florida to Tennessee, and have read stories of last minute price raises etc. Interested in others experiences and advice.

Thanks!

I blew a head gasket. Does anyone have suggestions for a better replacement head gasket than OEM? I have a 2.0 Focus ST block.

I have used, and still use, that for all kinds of stuff that is not what it is used for.

I tried to search for videos and instructions but all I got was stuff like head gasket replacement; nothing about doing the whole shebang. This isn't the first time that I wish I could simply check my trusty ol' Chilton's manual these days....
