Well I drove the stang back from Tampa to West Palm Beach today. Put 195 miles on it today when before today Ive only put 93 miles on it since October!! I sold all my tuning stuff on corral, and now I'm gonna park it under a cover for a little. I think I'm going to sell the heads I have on there that VibrantRed sold me. Car ran really well today minus a weird high pitched creak at WOT from the tranny,.....I miss being able to take off ramps at 80mph!! A lot of fun to drive.....but using 3/4th of a tank in175 miles instead of getting 175 miles per 1/4 is depressing!!
Plan for the stang:
Park till summer,
Sell trickflow heads and replace with GT40, add EGR, stock MAF, Stock injectors and throttle body, sell the stuff thats on there now. Then hook up the nitrous kit I bought 4 years ago and never used. Then, ill try painting it again maybe christmas time (painter in 2007 did do so well). Its funny that after 6 years of those lame eagle saleen wannabes and 3+ years of no A/C....I add 18x9 and 18x10 chrome saleens and fix the A/C....and now I retire it! Makes no sense to me!
Bump.
Here's the stang on the back of my truck.
I was heavy into it for a bit, got the engine into the car but the pan's hitting the steering rack and so now i'm searching the classifieds for a swap pan. The previous owner had used shims in his mounts to clear the rack and I won't have any of that in my car.
New computer system is in, I went with the AEM Programmable EMS and hope to learn alot as I go about tuning that without exploding myself or the car.
Bought an 8 point roll cage that is also set for installation but not a priority at this point. It's an S&W Racecars peice and looks to be very solid.
STILL searching for a hood. I'd love to get my hands on the single step 3 inch cowl (like 4Jenna has) but I'm leary of paying the ridiculous amount of money that Cervinis wants for it, and refuse to buy the cheap knockoff that they sell on ebay.
I've got some more pics but they're not on this laptop

Car looks awesome man!
I went with the AEM as well. It's awesome, but a bit overwhelming if you've never done any tuning before. Buy a wide band with a gauge, I've had a ton of problems with my AEM UEGO controller. Also use a STOCK distributor....my MSD and a reman dizzy both give me a bunch of timing errors....but I've got an AEM EPM and LS1 coil packs ordered, which should fix that problem!
One of my favorite Canadian. Car looks great man glad to see you are still moving forward with it.
whats up aaron, its been a while. car looks great in that color. we need engine bay pics!!!!
try looking here for the hood here Liberty Fiberglass - Fiberglass Hoods from what i heard they are made very well, and shipping is reasonable. well reasonable in the USA, i'm not sure about shipping pass the northern border. give them a call and find out.
later
I've actually thought about doing the LS1 coil packs as well. I wouldn't mind reading up on it a bit more.
Luckily until then, I have the stock dizzy from another 351 I also have in my shed. Throughout the past few years, I've gained quite the collection of all kinds of good parts that I might need in the future. Once the car's up and running, I'll go through some of it and have a garage sale.
What did you do for your oil pan, anyway?
