Wow sounds like a productive weekend, Jim! I wish i could say mine has been as productive....well it i guess it has, but its so much fab. to put in a roll cage. Its 9pm Sat night and due to sound ordinance, the garage is closed for the night. I have the main hoop, and one rear support tube welded in. The biggest problem was there was once a cage in the car, and they did such a poor job i had to cut out all the old footings and start fresh....I could have gone over it all, but i did the right thing and started fresh. Tomorrow should go a lot faster...hope to be done with it by the afternoon. I will post some pics. Post some pics of your progress Jim!

I'm a litle late coming but- Yesterday I just put in my 24 lbs injectors, pro-m 75mm maf, bbk 70mm tb, underdrive pulleys, electric fan, and a/c eliminator. Today i started putting my 3.90's in, but took longer then expected because my spider gears were crap, and those are a blast to replace It''l be done tomorrow though, and I have a feeling it's going to be retarded fast, going from 2.73's to 3.90... haha I'm sure i'll be on tomorrow totally amazed and excited, hopefully

Killed my AOD last year, trying to put all the parts together for a T-5 conversion. It also failed emissions test last time around so I need to figure out that problem before she can hit the road again, damn MA inspections.

Little Update....

Hey Jim and all you other MA Stangers! Haven't posted in quite a while, but i am happy to say i have been to busy with the car to get in front of the computer! Anyhow...the new motor is assembled and in the car. The engine bay has been prepped/painted for the color change (Ford #TP/6853 Gray Pearl Metallic). Currently coming in the mail is my entire fuel system, battery relocation kit/box/disconnect switch, and tons of odds and ends. As you saw before, the roll cage has been installed and hopefully this weekend, i will be shooting the bare interior and cage the new body color....so from here on out is basically just assembly. Anyways....heres some pics of the new powerplant! Hope all is well with everyone and thier projects.....peace. - John

John, It's looking good! Can't wait to see it this summer. Jim, I'd like to see your suspension kit too. I'm sure we'll meet up at Sam's club at some point.

Nice! How'd it go? Anymore tuning that needs to be done? Mine should be ready by Sunday. I blew a head gasket in January and wiped out two camshafts. Thanks to my very talented brother, it should be ready on Sunday. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed.
