I think Ive decided that Im not gonna add any more mods to my car. Ive got this growing itch to build a dedicated race car. No interior, full cage, spool.. The works. Thinking a 79 Notchback with one of those new Motown 454 sbc motors. I think the chassis place that built my cage could build me a K-Member that was built for a small chevy. I really just dont like Ford small blocks and I think a 2nd + gen camaro would be too heavy. 1st gen camaros are just horribly expensive. Im in no way a purist heh.

Yeah thats my car. You cant miss it, My license plate says CBRAKLR. Ive got a big silver Ford decal in the center of my rear window. Was that you parked next to me?? I think Doogz was the Laser Red Cobra next to the black GT that was next to me.

Dale, i say go for it. I always like to see a unique combo. Just keep the body a STANG. Do whatever you gotta do to go the speed you want motor wise.

Nothing special going on, just gonna go work on my ET. Id much rather be at the track then out cruising :) Your car got a T-5 in it or are those a T-45?

Its got that weak T-5. I dont even beat on it like others do. Its gotten a rebuild last year by Ford (under warranty) but you know how shady those jobs can be.

Im just gonna save my pennys and opt out for a G-force. I like it cause i can keep my Pro 5.0 and i dont need any special fitament pieces. Any advice? What tranny are you running?

Mines a T45. I Beat on it like it was stolen really and its held up great other then that one time I broke the shift fork. The gears were all perfect when I pulled it apart. The t45 sucks tho because you cant change the bell housing. So my car wont ever be legal for faster then 12.00 until I change transmissions.

I didn't realize PPW (performance parts wharehouse) was based out of our area. I ordered there HUGE book of parts looking for deals for my 351w build. Thats great, no shipping charges.

I might have to keep granny shiftin it until i can save enough to get a G-force or something. Its gonna be hard once i get the motor in it to not beat on it.

Your think of PAW, its a different place. This shop is in Garden City, its where I buy all my parts from. He can get steeda parts and thats pretty much all Ive used on my car.

ohhhhhh ok. I got cha. Does that shop have an advertisement in one of the mustang magazines? It sounds so familiar...

I dont think he advertises at all. Its a word of mouth shop pretty much. He has a sign at Milan dragway, but the guys really cool and word travels fast. He knows alot about mustangs and hes helped me out alot.
