GearHd6, have any interest in spraying another engine bay? I am really tempted to do mine while the motor is out of the car. I am having the car painted, but the motor will be back in before then. Nice work guys, and bentley you got my AIM name, if you guys ever need help working on it let me know. Ive been around a Mustang once or twice!

After following this thread, I'm getting more motivated to mod. Your ride is turning out like it should.

Well I havent posted for awhile but have made alot of progress. I got the engine back from the machine shop afew weeks ago, then I finished up putting it together. Then blackened and I dropped it in the car today. I just used another set of valve covers while I was putting it in, and dont mind my hand in one of the pictures haha. Heres some pictures:

Bentley what year is your car? I thought it was an 89 but after looking at the MC it appears to be older? I know I should remember, but I cant for the life of me! Either way looking great. Im in CT if you ever need a hand let me know. I have been around a Mustang or two in my day!

25th, it is a 89 but because I have rear disc I have a different MC. When our cars are all set we have to get together at the pike or something and grab a burger. BTW your car is looking awesome.

Hmm, I didnt know you had rear discs, decent upgrade there! That would probably explain it, it just looks like the one in our 86, not like the one that I took out of my 89.

Ill be down when the cars done. Right now Im in the middle of redoing the timing cover gasket (my dumbass messed it up) which isnt as easy as it sounds!
