Before things can get better you have to figure out everything that’s bad and correct it. That’s where we are currently. In this episode we jump into the newly Acquired Mustang SVO to figure out what needs addressed immediately and start to correct things to get this car back on the road.

Always appreciate videos on the old turbo Fords. My brother and I both have LX Mustangs with transplanted 2.3T engines. As far as changing T5 fluid, I believe you can use a funnel with a long hose and gravity refill easily from the engine compartment.

Great video, I would like to get another factory stock SVO. My 85 has highly modified, with a 351w, TKO 500, 8.8 -3L55, and a lot more. These cars are awesome in my opinion. There just a little hard to find affordable parts for. 😊

Good stuff Tony! I betcha it is the traction lok clutchs are sreeching n chattering, new lube & friction modifier should do it. You might need to drive it in circles for a bit to get the new fluid worked into the clutchs. You need a suction gun for adding & sucking out fluids, they work good especially for tight areas like that trans fill. They kinda look like a grease gun, but buy a good one, like a lincoln brand, the cheap ones leak. And a set of allen sockets. And some power tools! Ha. I like to tell peoples, i know how to spin bolts, i dont need any more practice! But of course i do it for a living too.

@TonysFordsandMustangs Жыл бұрын

Thanks for the tip. I agree it's the clutches I think the new fluid and Friction modifier will do the trick. I wanted to all the old fluid out of this car including what was in the tubes so pulling the axles wasn't a complete waste of time. I would bet dollars to doughnuts it has never been changed. I'll look into suction gun. I do have power tools but the are air tools and on camera well they are bit noisy. I could use Allen sockets now that I am getting into newer cars (1986 is newer to me). Most of my toys have been pre 1975 and all have been domestic so I really haven't that much of a need.

I bought a used demo SVO Silver 1984 LTD LX 4 Dr with the 5.0 Mustang V8 in 1984. It had been in testing by Ford as a training car for NASCAR Racing. Best deal ever! A rocket on wheels. Dual oil sump with 2 drain plugs and a rocker arm around the oil sump. Anyone know the history of the LTD LX models?

Do you know exactly what was changed to improve the suspension geometry on the SVO?

@TonysFordsandMustangs 8 ай бұрын

It wasn't so much the geometry as it was the balance, spring rates, & shocks. The 2.3 weighs less than the 5.0 and it sits back in the engine compartment. Adjustable Koni shocks, higher rate springs and bigger sway bars were added to car.
