Hey guys, haven't seen much action around here for a while. I don't get on as much as i used to either. I have some big Winter plans for my new Fox, the 96 is pretty much status quo unless I get a KB 2.6 to replace my 1.7, doubtful though. I'm concentrating on my fox over the Winter. I'm doing a Forged 408 for her. Should be fun. I'm gonna keep her low compression so I can throw a YSI trim Vortech on her hopefully next year. I've got the rotating assembly and the intake on order and the Dart block will be next to order up. She'll be bullet proof. I was going to do a 460 swap but the 408 just appealed to me more because I can reuse a lot of the 5.0 stuff I have on the car now, especially the Fuel Injection. Hopefully I'll have her ready for Spring but if all else fails I want it alive for June at the latest. We'll see what happens. Anybody else got anything on the go?

I have a bunch of want to do's... Whether they get done or not is the question. Currently my 05 GT is sitting on jack stands as I haven't finished putting in a few rear suspension components. I am thinking of rebuilding the short-block( Rods/Pistons ) and throwing a 9 PSI Single Turbo on the Mustang. The TBird will get a few things done to it that haven't been finished...

I'm working on a T-56 right now as we speak! A Viper spec, just what I need to finish the COBRA off. It'll go prob in the spring.




Check that, I have a T-56 and it WILL GO IN SOMETIME THIS SPRING!

I am putting a MGW shifter in my '03... it shouldn't take me much more than 2 to 3 months!!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously though Tweeked... you should get a 2.8H from MPH. The numbers are much better than the 2.6. Or you can get a 2.2 and get almost as good of numbers as the 2.6... Just a thought!

Click to expand...

The only problem with the 2.8H is MPH will only sell it you you if they install it. I'm not gonna drag my car all the way to Georgia for an install I can do in my own garage. The 96 is definitely taking a backseat to the Fox this winter. My 408 Forged stroker just should up this week so I'm like a kid in a candy store. I can't wait to get that beast put together. Now I've got to wait for the Dart 351W Block to come.
