    Much thanks to 71 gold for his nice x member! I'm halfway done installing it.

    Car has come very far...from a beat up old beast (mother bought it new)..to 10 grand at a resto shop that went under and handed me an unfinished car...

    to me sitting on it for 2 years after that. Ive finally got the motivation to finish it, and i've been wrenching on it like crazy.

    I'm so motivated that I sold my truck just to finance the rest of this project.

    anyhow, engine/trans bolted in (one bolt left on x member lol)...and the upper intake is mocked up.

    the combo? 5.0 crate motor with an isky roller cam, original cobra intake, 24# injectors,gt40 aluminum heads, 65mm throttle body, lentech aod with stall converter (forget stall...2600 I think).

    Paint of course is grabber blue.

    Sunday night i'm ordering the ford fuel injection plug and play harness...I don't want to jack around with modifying a mustang 5.0 harness....anyway here is the progress so far
