9.2 super victor intake converted to EFI
75 lb low impedance injectors

AFM power pipe.
G-force T-5 w/ super king cobra clutch
FMS 3.55 rears

Awesome build. Jesus dude, what did they do to get a set of TF 170s to flow 305/235. That much port work constitutes sodomy. That's flat out awesome.

Dual Walbro's from Glenn's performance sleeper kit

New engine to go in!

Mustang95GTS · Nov 17, 2011

Lots of port work but it looks great!

Old lower control arms vs new

if I never have to put in control arms again it will be too soon.

Snow performance methanol kit

Steeda caster camber plates

New seats

Hopefully you have better luck with the Steeda plates than I had with my 93.
They never stayed in position, regardless of following the exact Steeda torque specs for them.

They always seemed to slide out of alignment over time.

Engine installed

Here is the dyno graph: tuned by Mike Post

I was thinking of going to a 3.15 upper pulley and getting about 19 lbs of boost out of it, but as it is 1st and 2nd gear are hard enough to control.

which intake elbow is that?

VibrantRedGT · Nov 17, 2011

This build thread was the quickest ever. Already finished in one day. Great work!

Mustang95GTS · Nov 17, 2011

its an edelbrock, which number I am not sure, only 4" tall. Yeah, I took a bunch of pics and figured I would share them. If it took 1 day I would be extremely happy, unfortunately many times in the several months I worked on it I was contemplating rolling it outside and setting it on fire.

BlackVert · Nov 17, 2011

can you post a pic or 2 of the clearance over the valve covers?

are they stock height valve covers, or tall?

i have a victor junior efi that i have been dragging my feet on trying to decide which elbow had the best chance of clearing the valve covers and also staying under my hood.

Mustang95GTS · Nov 17, 2011

yeah it is tight with a capital T. I had to modify my throttle bracket to adjust upward and have 2 spacers. One is a 1" tall and the other is a 3/8" tall. The valve covers are FMS Tall to clear the studs for the rockers.

Mustang95GTS · Nov 17, 2011

Here is the pics as requested

This is a 9.2 block so it is a bit shorter but not by much

BlackVert · Nov 17, 2011

good info, thanks.

fyi, i have comp pro magnum rockers which fit under stock height valve covers. going to those might help with your clearance concerns. of course, you have already addressed it, so maybe it's not a concern any more, but it might be useful info in the future ...

9.2 ... so that's a 302 block stroked and bored to 356?

Mustang95GTS · Nov 17, 2011

302 is a 8.2 deck height block, a 351 is a 9.5 deck height. A 9.2 is between the two of them, used most often as I understand it for nascar type engines. Mine has a 302 main, but it uses a 351 distributor. Kind of a little of both engines.

Apparently my ex-husband made that mistake.
