Mustang dynatech vs kooks I am starting my next build which is a 89 mustang coupe going with a LS1 T56 and looking at headers, which do you guys think work best dynatech or kooks especially considering there is only $45 difference between the two.

I have seen horror stories about both, I went with Kooks and regret it. If i did another build i would try dynatech. Passenger side fit perfect, drivers side was a hassle with the stock steering shaft which ultimately ended with me heating the last primary with a torch and denting it, and then dropping $200 on a maximum motorsports steering shaft which blew my budget by another unnecessary $200. Did I mention that im stil not happy with the fit after the above modifications. Kooks wasnt worth spending the time talking to about it either. Offered to discount my next kooks purchase to HELP offset the $200 for the steering shaft which was never stated on any website that the stocker wont work.
Kooks fit like a glove on my cts-v, but they lost a customer for life. I wish ARH would make a set.
BTW there is always a better alternative......turck manifolds with a turbo on each end!

Also looking for advise on commen problems with this build that I may not be thinking about. The coupe is a auto right now, and I know I'm going to have to get a new peddle assembly, what is the best way to go as far as the clutch master goes?

Grab a pedal assembly from an 87-88 ford turbocoupe they came with hydraulic clutches in those years. I picked up an assembly for 60 shipped on NATO(forum). Then I just made a bracket myself and put it int he same hole as the steering shaft. Do the mount while the motor is out and try to think of where the headers will be etc.
My only other tip for the swap is if you can afford it buy a t56 magnum since it moves the shifter forward, otherwise you gotta hack up the center console and I still havent found a way to make that look good.

Yeah pulling the motor and trans out of my 2000 SS so I will have the same problem with the console. Any way I can get pics of your master cylinder?

Sorry man I wish I would have taken more pics, I wound up having to move mine once i put the motor in. I never took pictures and you cant see **** now since I made a new cover for the firewall. I can take a picture of the connection to the pedal assembly and where I put the master from the inside though if that helps.
