    I am using my car as a distraction from the many problems in my life. Some are of my own doing others are just bad luck.

    My car has set on and off for the past two years but that itch is to the point I have to scratch.

    I am starting by grafting in a 2003 mustang mach I firewall.

    To me since I am doing so many mods this is worth it. To most of you it would be lunacy.

    I plan on utilizing the hydro boost from the mustang as I am swaping in a 4.6L Dohc.

    I may go so far as to use a mustang k member as well. Not sure one step at a time.

    I will take pics and do a tech article.

    Thank you

    Good luck on the project, Lance. Quite ambitious, but it will make a real rocket when you are done, and a comfortable one at that!

    MMMMM...HYDROBOOST :)

    You'd then be the second Maverick in the world with Hydroboost...:)

    ...and I thought a 1981 Thunderbird dashboard with 2000 Crown Vic electronic climate control and instrument cluster was lunacy...


    ...or was it the EFI and the power Probe seats/Lincoln auto headlights/Mazda power mirrors?

    Nawww...your ideas sound like good ones to me. :)
