I posted this back in the Thanks Sal thread. I might get to the Shelby apron, and roll pan later though.

these stangs remind me of when i was 16 and dreamed of owning my first mustang. i worked my tail off and only could afford a 76 coupe. most of the guys called it a pinto as we all hear alot. but i was proud i knew in my head how these could look. seeing these pics reminds me i was not alone and some of these cars do get to their true potential!!

Hey, not only did you add some nice wheels to her pony, you also enhanced its virtual stopping power with those huge rotors. Sweet.

my dads car is almost ready for paint. The guy has had the car since thanksgiving.








Since these picture he has got the roof done and most of the front cap done. He still has to do the hatch and the hood but he has to wait on us to do the hood. We need to set the motor in the car so we make sure he cuts the hood juts right to fit around the hood scoop. We painted the motor and it's ready.

Is it just the result of the camera flash, or is that an insanely bright blue on that engine? Cool.

Also, just out of curiosity, judging from the shape of that huge oil pain, where is the crossmember in that car??

Yeah, I mentioned it earlier in the thread. The one with the hillborn scoop is his street car. The one without anything sticking out of the hood is his drag car.

Is that flowmasters I hear? That car sounds as good as it looks. And that little chick getting out of that evil-looking car at the end of the vid, totally cool. haha
Seriously, one of the nicest Mustangs I've ever seen.

A word on Skull and Bones Guy's car:

I have been told numerous times that a cam that aggressive won't run an automatic; yet, at the end of the video, he can be heard saying, "Put it in Park."

Any ideas what the cam might be in that thing?

I'll see if I can get in touch with him about specs. He's not much of an "online" kinda guy it seems.

I've emailed him and PM'd him a couple of times and never heard anything back from him. That'd be great if you could get some specs.

Automatics and big cams get along great, so long as the torque converter stall speed is matched with the power range of the motor.

I run a 250i/260e dur @.050", solid lifter cam with a little more than .600" lift, and the C4 works very well with it, even idling at 1300.

Then why in the jumping hell does it say on big cams (X cam, etc.) "Not for use on automatic transmissions?" I'm all confused.
