Howdy all!
I know it's been forever and a day since I posted, but it's been a long time coming, so I thought y'all would like an update.
It runs! It drives! Finally!
For those that don't remember, or have joined in the last oh... 4 or 5 years, hahah, here's the stats:
'66 fastback
C code 289/C4 that I ditched for a roller 5.0/T-5
Mustang Steve cable clutch/roller bearing pedals/power brakes
I changed the interior color from red to black, got the paint/flames in '04
Full wiring harness from Painless
Floor mounted e-brake from a foxbody Mustang
Some sneaky anti-theft tricks that y'all don't get to hear about.
Engine is a '91 block
Forged pistons
Aluminum World Products Heads
TFS Stage II cam
Crane 1.6 roller rockers
Hedman headers
Edelbrock RPM intake
Edelbrock 600 cfm carb
MSD billet distributor and 6AL box
Retained the 5.0 serpentine pulley setup
The car also has 620# springs in the front, Mustangs Plus 4.5 rear springs from way back when they were called "Magna", a Granada front brake swap, and vintage ET wheels. The interior includes custom guage faces and lighting, some modern racing seats to hold me in place, and an updated speaker setup that includes a sub in the trunk.
I started it and ran it around the block for the first time in almost 4 years, and it was a great feeling. Loud, since I don't have the exhaust run yet, but great none the less.
Here are a few quick and dirty pics of it's working, current, and cleaned-up states.
e-brake, complete with Crown Royal boot.
Guages on the bench
First twist of the key since '05
Seats
Old pics, but the exterior is the same
Thank God for good car buddies
