Well, this is what I have so far. It didn't run this weekend, but I think it is coming along. The distributor and airbox are just mocked up and I won't be using that ugly airbox, I am looking for one in better shape. One with the dog just because. What do yall think?

Thanks.
The car is a 92 coupe, originally a 4cyl. I bought it in pieces in October. The 5speed is in place with pro5.0 shifter. It is just a stock short block with: E-cam, stock heads, gt40 intake, 30lb injectors, 70mm thottle body & EGR spacer, C&L 76mm mass air kit. I wish I hadn't put the stock heads on while I had it all apart--being new to Mustangs (and Fords in general) I guess I didn't realize they suck as bad as they do.
So, I plan to pick up some heads when I come across a deal I can't pass up, and I am using 30lb injectors because I will probably spray it pretty soon, or maybe do little forced induction later on.
I also plan to lower the car ALOT. I have an 8.8 waiting with SN95 brakes. 5 lug conversion of course, and 10th anniversary Cobra wheels. I am waiting for my new upholstry kit to arrive to finish my black interior.
This will be my progress page and I will try to post at each stage.
Oh, and the dog, yeah he is a great dog. The breed is like a super breed--they are good at everything.

more pics

I finally got some work done this weekend. I got the car to run and so far so good. Fired right up--idled with no problem, very loud with no exhaust past the H. As you can see I decided to go another direction with the wheels. Also this thing needs to be lowered about a foot.
As far as I know, it still has the stock 4cyl. suspension. But if that were right wouldn't the front be lower than that? It has had plenty of time to settle and everything is on the car pretty much except the seats.
Tell me what you guys think.
I really need to find an image host.
