Why are you pulling the motor and trans?
Haven't been doing much with the Mustang except driving it. I installed a new sunroof weather stripping and my Flowmaster American Thunder 2.5" exhaust which sounds and looks perfect. My hatch and door seals are FUBAR and I have new ones that I need to install. Probably won't be until December when the engine and trans comes out.
That's a very good question. The short answer is my engine needs new valve cover gaskets, oil pan gasket and new rear main seal. Where it gets complicated is I'm not sure what is going back in my hatch, put the stock engine back in it or put in my HCI motor along with PiMP. I'm leaning toward the HCI motor but I'm thinking before I do that I might throw out the TFS stage 2 cam and get a custom cam. Not sure the TFS 2 cam is right for my performer heads (2.02in/1.6ex) and older performer rmp intake
Which motor is in better shape? Isn't the present one fairly low mileage? I do recommend a cam change(especially if you want a milder idle/better street manners-without sacrificing performance). Would you be better off throwing all the topend onto the present motor instead of straight swapping? Other than the pita of doing so? Just asking...
. Or just installing the blower sans the other goodies? Could sell the coupe and pay for the goodies. It's fun thinking about all the ways to have more fun with these cars. Lol. Oh and the tfs 11r's have tons more ptv clearance...hehehe
and my power is out but that's better than what some other people experienced. Once I get the fence rebuilt and finish my small home remodel project to make the wife happy I'll be pulling the motor + trans out of the hatch and begin that winter project

Did you need that much of a spacer just to clear your valve covers? I'm looking at getting the VC's that you have and I'm wondering if I need 1/2" or a 1" spacer. I have a 2" cowl hood to clear it.
The systemax hangs so low it wouldn't clear the breather . They are gone now
I got an almighty b cam I'll sell ya
Maybe. I have the baffle removed but I don't want to run the engine without it. I need to think of a way to secure it well and keep it low profile so I don't rub on the #1 roller rockers anymore. I was thinking JB weld, not sure.
True, may as well let the cat out of the bag and answer your question at the same time.
