You're doing great. How much longer do you think you have to complete the build? Have fun, take your time and keep us posted.

Well Ive been picking at it all winter, due to lack of heat... it took me longer than expected. But now thats its warming up... Im rolling!!

A little background since its not yet in my sig...
freshly built 302, gt40x heads, vortech v2sq with C02 cooled intercooler, trick flow U/L, 42 inj , F Cam.

My goal was a streetable 400+ HP and Im glad I stuck to my guns with the F cam and mild heads. I should be cruising in NO TIME

It's going to be a great season. I'm having a few finishing touches done on my new wiring harness install and Can't Wait to get my stang back!

Click to expand...


Because I can!!!

Id like to think you can never go too big, and even though this car wont be seeing 8k RPM all day Id like a piece of mind when I get it tuned I wont see the AFR lean out due to maxed out injectors. The tuner can easilly decrease the duty cycle.
I could have went with 36's but I got a sweet deal on 42s and Pro M MAF.

up on top will be a polished trick flow intake , and many other polished parts. No No I will not be competing with manson etc.... but I can try haha

PS those valve covers are sweet, but too tall for my blower... So i notched off the corner and TIGd a new piece in- looks great with no clearance issues. woo hooo!
