build thread

Goal: fun street car, ~6,000 rpm max, T-5, 3.55 gears. I had a 68 flat tappet 302 in it originally with a gnarly cam, so I want the bay to still have the same look. (V-belts, early timing cover and pump), but using a roller 5.0 short block and better top end. Carb for now, Holley Sniper EFI...

Hi All I decided to swap out my I6 with a V8. I wanted to post the thread so as I go I will update. The I6 was fine as a cruiser, I've driven it for a few years in it's current form but I decided I want some more fun. Im handy but have never done anything at this scale so you are going to...

I Blame @bird_dog0347 for this one. I wasnt looking for another project. But he found this one down is TX. It was a rust free solid TX coupe with a 85-86 front end. So after he looked the car over for me. I bought it and had it shipped to the shop. So…Im going to get it rolling. I bought a...

Hey everybody I just recently got a 2000 mustang gt and am looking to give it a little more kick, but I'm relatively new to the upgrading scene and not 100% sure what I should do to bring those numbers out of the v8. This is why I've come here to ask for you're all advice, please keep in mind...

I picked this car up yesterday December 18th. Its an original owner 1985 GT T-Top in Jalapeño red. He ordered the car with all the options except a radio delete because he was into stereo competitions at the time. It has 131,xxx miles but was used as a summer time car. The car has never been...

I recently picked up a 64 1/2 project car. It came with a 302 out of a 68 and most of the parts. It even came with a box full of brand new Scott Drake goodies. My intent is to restore it to mostly original condition. It is in decent shape but with the usual rusty spots. I managed to fire it...

Hey everybody, thought I would try a build thread. I have never done anything of this scale on a car before, but I'm an amusement ride mechanic by trade so I've done a few rebuilds on a "larger" scale. My project is a 95 gt that I picked up a few years back. Shes been through some :poo: just...

Figured I should start a thread for my mustang project. We start our adventure last summer, when I had gotten my licence a few months ago. I had been given my grandpas old honda pilot (mainly for insurance purposes I normally drive my dad's truck) and was given the ok from my parents to sell the...

I just bought a 93 LX today (first mustang) and I am in dire need of a good supplier of quality replacement parts. If anyone has suggestions for a website or a brand name I should look into I would really appreciate it. I do want quality replacements at a fair price I would like to stay away...

Hello all, and thank you. I am new to this forum, but I am a member of several others (namely CruzeTalk and I think another forum or two). I have searched for other CFI builds, but came up dry, so I started this one. As the title suggests, I have an 85 CFI engine in my Mustang. I purchased...

Hey all, this is my first post and it's going to be my build that I will be doing soon, I keep getting told by my friends that I need to post my builds so they could potentially help others with my findings and tricks i've learned. So a little about the car(3rd fox), it has a slightly cracked...
