So i finally got my motor back together and the mustang where i can drive it for the first time in 2 years, so i figured i would take pictures and make a half a$$ build thread. First off i am not a professional rod builder so dont be too critical and i am on a strict budget so please enjoy. ps the photos were taken with my droid and not a nice digital camera

Looks good man keep up the hard work! Let me know us know the hp numbers when you can make it to a dyno. I am considering doing a similar build with the trick flow intake setup and aluminum heads.

Its basically the trickflow kit, i got the heads with new comp double bee spring upgrade, 1.6rr, intake, 24lb injectors, 70mm throttle body and egr spacer, new injector rails, a 8.8 rearend with 4:10's that isnt installed yet and a short block that i sold. i got all the parts for 1600. i wish i had new valve covers but oh well. I didnt even think about the cork gasket until you guys mentioned it. it came with my gasket kit...oh well. Thanks for all the comments it runs really good i took it on the highway for the first time today drove 70 miles to my dads work and it drove awesome, i love the trickflow kit lol. any guesstimates what dyno number should be? it has 10.5:1 pistons, a comp 270 cam, and the mods listed above 190lph pump c&l mass air meter equal length headers h-pipe, ect

looks good and it always feels nice to take something for a ride after some major changes. if i had to guess on hp i would say mid to high 300hp at the flywheel but im used to carb setups more than efi
