well, some will remember the build up I was involved in for the better part of 2009. I forged up the shortblock, bumped the compression, blah blah. She ran good for a bit, but the heads decided that enough was enough. I had left stock during the rebuild when they needed a valvejob badly.
Sooooo, the motor is out again. This time, I'm going for broke and decided to take advantage of the bumped compression. Can we say Trick Flow heads?
My motorless GT on the lift at work
The motor and trans
New motor mods: Trick Flow 38cc heads, ARP head studs, Comp 270 cams, FRPP shorty headers (so I can finally register the GT here in California)
Good observers will notice the new rims. 18x9 and 18x10 Bronze 10th Anniv. I had to get these because while my GT was sitting broken on the backlot at work, someone decided they wanted my FR500's and took them.
Before
After
I'm also upgrading the brakes at the same time
And yes, that is new body work as well. '99 Cobra front bumper and hood. I'll be picking up some '03 Cobra side skirts soon to finish the look and repaint her after the engine work is done.
