Well here she is, Full frame roller. 89 Notch, at one point in life it was a 4 cyl car. The previous owner had a big block in it with a big shot and the car has been in the 7's. I am going to be running a 421 Small block (thats the plan as of right now) and yes that means its going to have a Chevy motor with a 350 trans. The front is a AJE K member with QA1 coil overs. The rear is 31 spline, 4.10 gears, spool, C clip eliminators, Mini tubs, coil overs, adjustable lowers and uppers.

The pics dont tell the entire truth about how the body really is, it does need some work. No rust though. So soon enough ill be doing body work. First im trying to get this wiring in order. Theres a ton of nitrous wiring that has got to go. The car has 2 fuel pumps so I am going to hook both up and have a back up ready to go at the flick of a switch. Also it had 2 batteries and i dont feel the need for 2. I am going to hide the wiring under the hood as much a possible as well.

I am also going to be putting some smaller tire like a 28X10.5 and get rid of the 29.5's. And patch the rear quarters where they cut a bout 2 inches off the back side so the tires would fit. Lots of work.

Oh yea i know theres gonna be the chevy bashers out there, but I love the look of mustangs. But have come to realize that the chevy small block just flat out will put down more power for the money. PLUS my father and i want to run the same engine and trans so that way if we need to we can swap at anytime.

SBC? Unreal, why the hell would you wanna do that to a mustang? You guys are something else putting chevy stuff in a ford car. What are you trying to do, actually go fast or something? Nice car, good luck with it. What kind of nitrous setup are you planning on running? BBC>SBC>LSX>SBF.

Thanks all, as far as the chassis im going to leave it be for now. Its going to be all motor car not nitrous. The 421 im putting it dyno'd 630hp all motor. Its just easier that way.
