BLOWN 347 progress thread

I am switching to a carb setup to make it easier to tune and I want to be able to get rid of all the wires in the front. It will make it so much easier to diagnose a problem if something ever does go wrong. And I have heard you can pull more ponys out of the carb setup. Plus I just like the carb setups.I think it will look cool.

Ok here are some pics from a couple of days ago when I started to work on the car.

Here is the rearend That I picked up wednesday night. I had to give 400.00 and my rearend for this built 9 inch. I didn't think that was too bad considering it would have cost me around 2k to buy one new. Here are the before pics. I have to clean it up and paint it. I am also swapping the disc brakes that are on it now to the 94-95 mustang disc brakes. Going to paint everything up real nice before it goes in.

That sitting next to my 9 inch is a 7.5 out of a v6 that I had layin around. Going to put that under the car for now while I clean, modify, and paint the 9 inch.

Its been A while for an update on this car so thought I would give everyone some news. I have decided to go bigger with the motor to give me some power. I have also decided to get mini tubs for the car as well so I can hook. Up. I sold the 9 inch and got a built 95 cobra 8.8 axle.

Here is the short block pics and specs

Ok so it has been a while since I have posted last. I bought a house and remodeled it so it has been eating up all of my spare time as you can probably imagine. I finally got started working on my project again but I did decide to go a different route. I thought about this for a while now and I decided to get another project car instead of cutting up my very first mustang let alone my first car. I know later down the road i would hate myself for cutting it up and putting mini tubs and a roll cage and so on and so forth into my first car. So my project car is a 1994 cobra I picked up for a pretty decent deal. Here are some pics from when I picked it up and from a couple days after I started.
