I've been working on it every night after work and I've got most of the top end finished. The cam needed advanced 2* so it's a good thing I decided to degree it. The block also needed grinded a little for the timing chain to clear, so be aware of that if you ever buy a Rollmaster timing set with torrington bearing. I just need to clean it up a little and torque everything down. The intake should be here next week so it will be in the car next week!

Well Im just gonna run my stock T-5 for now. Hopefully it'll last me until I can afford a Tremec 600, unfortunately that means I'll have to go a little easy on it .

This things gonna make a ****load of torque! Im guessing RWHP will be 425-450, but the torque should be close to 500. How long do you all think I'll have it running before I break something? Im guessing about a week

we just got this new mustang a few weeks ago. It is a 2004, Gt convertible, charcoal grey w/ black top. the V-8 roars. it is awsome. i love mustangs! i am hoping to someday get a '65 Shelby, but i dont know if that will ever happen. Nice engine, but where's the car? is it the blue one to the side of the screen?
gtg,
got pwr out

I have two breathers, one for each valve cover. What else do I need? What should I do about the PCV since Im running open breathers? I really hadn't thought that far ahead yet
