87 5.0 "white lightning"
Picked this truck up last fall just getting to a build thread now because I'm getting to the bigger upgrades and thought I'd share.
Drove 3.5 hours to get the truck and trailered it home.
Only drove it three times and then parked it for the winter.
It had "White Lightning" stickers on every corner of the truck and across the tailgate so the name kind of stuck.
After removing all the stickers, cheap chrome trim, and changed the grill and parking lights.
new garage so i have room for some real upgrades now.
new headlights and wiring harness.
new wheels off a 2014 mustang gt.
and some goodies going in this week hopefully.

Re: 87 5.0 "white lightning"
Installed a short throw shifter but something wasn't right, it was grinding like crazy when in gear and driving. Took it out and put it back in and same thing so i put the stock one back in and am returning this one to summit.
----------
I noticed it was longer on the bottom side should it be?

I'd just Google the problem and see if there's a solution. Did the instructions say anything about a spacer?

Re: 87 5.0 "white lightning"
Followed the instructions and even watched a video, still ended up with the same problem both times. Called summit and they kept telling me i must not have a T5 transmission, I think it's the shifter.

Re: 87 5.0 "white lightning"
Is your transmission in neutral?
When I removed my shifter I accidentally left it in fifth gear and my Hurst didn't shift correctly...
I had to push the button on the left with a screwdriver and push it forward

Re: 87 5.0 "white lightning"
Ball goes in the cup its really simple. You just need to make sure that plastic insert was still there and it was.
