Quite a nice list of stuff you have done there.

And if you would like a set of PI cams to compliment that intake, I might know someone who will have a set available when he finishes up his cam swap in a week or so.

Not trying to be a dick, but you should have gone ahead and splurged for a K&N filter, it will save you money in the long run

Looks like a nice little project, throw some pics up!

Awesome project man, and may I ask what happened to the previous motor?

 

[apats77]

From the previous owners mouth,

"I was driven down the highway and the belt must have broke which lead to the crack in the intake cross over and I didnt notice right away and kept driving."

Well he never said anything about the HOLE IN THE SIDE OF THE BLOCK.

The old motor has been junked.

 

[apats77]

With the new gears do I have another option besides buying the Ford or aftermarket calibration tool to correct for the right speed?

 

[03_TrueBlue_GT]

I think the 96-98 GT's use a mechanical speedometer so you should be able to go and buy a new speedo gear for the 3.73 gears for your Mustang. Hope that helps!

 

[apats77]

is that the gear located in the trans?

Got the new gears and diff in
