jamee.... just curious. About how much have you spent on this project?

About $3900 including the cost for the car. This doesn't include items I've sold quite a few things, which have brought the cost down to about $3300 (such as blown engine/trans that came with it and extra parts here and there)
I'll post the entire list of purchased items after the car is done

thats not bad. I bought mine for 2k so I guess I'm trying to justify my purchase lol

My steering pump froze so I had to order a replacement and the replacement got here when I was sick... then I left for newyork after I got better (I'm here on vacation) but will finish replacing pump when I return. Probably will be tuesday

I haven't been into stereo systems for about 10 years... I always enjoyed my Mach 460 as it has a very nice bass sound to it. However, I'm starting to get the urge to look into getting some audio gear. I'm just not sure where I'd begin! If only I could load the Mach 460 box with a pair of more powerful subs!

You can wire in a subwoofer into the Mach 460 to make it the equivalent of a Mach 1000, which is basically a Mach 460 with a subwoofer offered in the New Edge 'Stangs. Take a look at MustangWorld:

Mustangworld Subwoofer install to Mach460

I haven't done this myself, but the tech articles I have read from there have all been accurate.

[Jamee]

[quartermileking]

speaking of driving a stang, I hung out with an old friend last night and he let me drive his 98 mustang. First time I've even rode in a mustang, and he let me drive it

 

[Jamee]

I still have the car, I've just been busy as ****, sorry for no updates
I'll get to it soon as it's nice for a day when I'm not swamped with customers

a lot faster? wow, mine's been over a year now lol
and my started died on me (went cheap with ebay starter) so I need to fix that, pretty sure the leak is still there, but it doesn't really show unless the system is pressurized
you have a thread on your build?

 

[jdl95stang]

No I dont. Wish I had done one......but yea, yours is a lot faster than mine. I have a lot of cosmetic work to do on mine thats is taking a ton of time. Besides, like I said, this is kind of a back burner build. Just working on mine when I am not to busy with other things

Did you have issues with the stock 5.0 fuel lines not reaching the stock lines in the car?

I ordered the end lines which attach the fuel rail to the chassis' fuel lines, they're like $50 on ebay or such for used ones. But I've also heard issues of random fires being caused from these lines, but I couldn't find another way to do it :-/

 

[jdl95stang]

I have heard the same from several people. My engine still had the lines that you are talking about on it from the '94 gt that it came out of. When I pun the engine in, the lines were a little to short and were bent weird so they wouldnt connect. I ended up installing the Aeromotive fuel sysyem on mine. I just don't know why the stock gt lines would'nt work???
