New Project Car - The Civil War Mustang

[AeroCoupe]

It’s just insane how much all of it has gone up since the Covid bs. I’m thinking about getting rid of the carb setup on my T-Bird so will be following the conversion on Civil War.

Two front bearing/hubs ( timken) and two upper AC Delco " gold " upper ball joints were over $500 dollars for my C4 suspension for my " other " project... ]

Got it converted to Holley Terminator-X computer EFI along with new fuel tank (cobra) with dual pumps (hellcat), 10AN feedline and 8AN return with Deka 80# injectors and E85.
Had Andrew Borodin (DREFI) write the base tune and it runs great.

Looking forward to another great video!

The PO ran nitrous on it a few times, but mostly he ran it naturally aspirated (bracket racer stuff).
I on the other hand like to build my projects to be high horsepower dyno cars that can goto the track and lay down a fast pass.
In this case, I have decided to ditch the C4 transmission and put a TKX in the car.
I may run the nitrous at first to see what it makes, but ultimately I'd like to make this a twin turbo setup.

I would go T56 magnum 6speed with 4.56 gears...

The T56 Magnum is a nice piece. I ran one previously in my 2003 Mach1 project. But the T56 doesn't fit into a Fox without some cutting/modifying compared to the TKX which literally drops right in.
The 4:30 gears are not bad at all so far. In 5th gear at 60mph it only turns about 2,200 rpms.

Here's the latest video -
