So yeah, it's been over 2 years since my Mustang ran. All kinds of excuses for it, biggest one has been laziness. Money and time too. I have an engine in the car, just need to put the accesories on, upper intake, rockers, all the electronics in the engine bay, tranny fluid, an h-pipe and some other nickle and dime shit.
So, here's a run down on what's been going on. I picked up a complete stock engine from a guy in Dallas who said he'd seen the carnage pictures of my old engine. Well anyways, I got it for a good price, even included injectors. Unfortunate thing was it was a Houston motor. Block was pretty nasty looking. After having fun with a drill, metal brushes and time, I had all the rust away and painted the block black with some VHT Engine Enamel.
Unfortunatly, the new setup will be no where near as powerfull as the original setup was. It'll have the 3.73 gears, upper and lower control arms, Tremec 3550 transmission w/Pro 5.0 shifter, the Flowmaster 2 chambers and maybe a little somethin' else. No forced induction and stock heads and cam still. I was lucky enough to pick up a set of mint Pony wheels with tires that have less than 500 miles on them for very cheap. Also got a couple engine blocks and rotating assemblies, a pair of 10 holes for slicks, a pair of MT ET Drags, another set of stock heads, another stock cam and other stock crap. I am selling some of it so check out my for sale page.
