I know it's not a 4.6, but I thought I would share this with my friends over here in 4.6 talk....

I FINALLY got the deep dish 10th anniversary replicas mounted up on the Notch last night...

It was a long time coming, but well worth it. As u can see, I also did a 5 lug swap, Cobra brakes, Bilstein's, & 3.73's @ the same time... Huge thanks to Mitch, StreakMatt, Jerry, & Juan for all the help!!!

The wheels fit great, but I did have to remove the quad shocks, & massage the inner rear fender with a BFH. The Bilsteins improved the ride quality 100%, but out of everything though, the 3.73's impressed me the most... All I can say is OMFG, the car pulls hard now!!!! 1st gear traction is non existent now, & the car constantly stays in the power band!!!!:hail2::hail2:


Here is my usual set of progress pics for those that didn't catch my thread in "5.0 Talk"...


3.73's & 5 lug axle install....

that looks awesome!!!



why did you keep the rear brakes drums?

Thanks man... I kept the drum rears for budget reasons, but I will install rear disk within the next 6 months or so. I will be sticking with the small GT rear disk's though because I want to be able to run 15" slicks without grinding the rear calipers...

Im so ufcking jealous. That is a beautiful notch. You already know i love the wheels, and all the other mods are very tasteful as well. A+ as usual bro.

Thank u sir!!!:flag:
 
man that is the exact 5.0 i have been looking for for the last year and i hate that it looks soooo sweet cause it makes me want mine even more lol, good job man uve got some sweet cars

Holy S, :drool:
 
DAMN! I wanted these on my 96GT, but after seeing them on your Notch I gotta say that these wheels look better on Foxes.

Your car is insane! I want a notch soooo bad. Especially in white.

Perfect time to put these rims on. Just in time for summer..... Oh wait I forgot... You live in Cali where its always summer.
