Thanks, but the car is an AOD car.

Someone local actually donated rebuilding the entire trans for us

But thanks!

I wish I could donate, but all I have laying around is a set of good 3.08 gears, and a set of new dynomax race bullets. I gave everything else to the buyer of my old stang. Its awesome that you guys are doing this project! Cant wait to see it all finished. I will check with my dad to see if he has any of the parts laying around that could be used.

I think we have 3.55's, but until we square away the driveline and get the body painted, it's low on the list of things to do.

We are trying to do this in addtion to our normal lives, so progress is slow and the budget is limited. Most of us have been paying out of pocket for some of the things needed.

A lot of people have contacted me to donate parts, and we appreciate it, but right now, we'd really like to sell some t-shirts and/or stickers to get funds to buy specific things we need like head bolts, gasket kits, RTV, etc.

Thanks, progress is slow because this is a 100% donation funded project with work done in our spare time. I'd say there are really 5 people working on this full time, with maybe 4 or 5 more supporting people.

Couple teaser shots of the weekend's work

Engine bay stripped of everything and ready for sanding and paint

View attachment 265215

Engine pretty much complete. We managed to lose two bolts in the process (you can see them in the pic). If anyone has spare timing cover and WP bolts please contact me. We are missing the top WP bolt and the Timing cover stud on the lower left of the pic (temp bolt with nut and washer in place for now)

New Website is up

Project: Fallen Hero


Car has been transported to Autopaint RI in Cranston, RI where the engine bay will be getting prepped and painted. After that, the engine and newly rebuilt trans are going in.

April 19th, there will be a shootout dedicated to Maj. Calero at NED. All the slots are filled, but the goal is to have a little bracket racing competition with the goal of raising money and awareness. I'll be up there racing.
