I think I'm ready to get rid of the stock engine with a 75 shot.

I have an engine that I built for the 95 cobra (the one that got totaled out). I put it in thanksgiving and it has about 3500 miles on it. Just a forged 331 w/ ~8.5:1 compression, blower cam, heads, few other things.

I have yet to get my vortech rebuilt but will one day, haha. Til then I think I'm just gonna do a 125 shot on said motor...that should put me a lil over 420 to the wheels or so...somewhere in that ballpark. I figure that'll keep me happy til after mustang week. After I get the blower on there I wanna hit 500 to the wheels and I'll be happy.

sooo anywayyy, I'm pulling the engine out the black one this tuesday and getting all my gaskets and fluids together. I also wanna get a nice canton pan so that's in the works as well. I wanna have the engine swapped out within a couple weeks. It shouldn't take long at all considering I work at a mustang shop and tinker with it when I'm not doing anything else.

but yeah, keep checking back...it's not gonna be as interesting as some of the other builds going on...but I figured I'd post up.

to be honest, it's been killing me not to. I really just haven't been feeling up to it but now that I have so much more free time...I figure what the hell...might as well.

As soon as my canton pan and all my gaskets get in it's on

Any plans on swapping interiors? IIRC you bought a white Stang with a porno theme on the inside? Dont get me wrong, its a great color when youre in high school and need a color that hides stains well, lol...

Engine's out!

I've got the itch man....*insert perverted joke here*

about the interior...I changed the carpet from red to black and I did a rear seat delete (made it..I'll post pics sooner or later). I'm wanting some black seats and a fr500 steering wheel w/ black airbag then I'll be mostly finished with the interior.

That sounds like a decent game plan. At lease breaking up the red some. The worse part of the red interior is the seats IMO.
