a more appropraite question is how much do you want to spend


I want that + the 347 Stroker so its not cheap. Anyway I can save money on parts the better.

Im figuring around $5,000 for the complete motor.

Chris-

Do you still have the # for that guy up in Pitsfield w/ the Mustang Grave yard? Emery something but I cant remember his full name and cant find his # Let me know if you have it Id like to go up sometime just to see what I can find for interior parts.

read numbers 4 and 5 in the first post. Do they sound right?http://eleanor.pro3i.com/showthread.php?t=640613
How about numbers 3 and 4 in the second post?
I did turn that screw last night to open the throttle a little and it kept the car from stalling. It had a higher idle and no I didn't adjust the TPS after.
After changing the plugs yesterday I started it up and with the moisture in the exhaust there were nice blacks spots and streaks in the driveway. Some of the carbon coming out. Yummie!
 
Good news, just got an E-mail from Ron ( guy I bought the Mustang from ) he got the title and I should have it later this week. I was not expecting it for another week or so. At least I can get it registered and on the road now.
 
here are a few pics of the oil leak I was talking about. Im still not sure where it is comming from but the back of the tranny is all coverd in oil so its dripping down from what I would suspect the back of the motor. Its not the valve covers b/c there is no oil around either one of them

You can see the cross memeber at the top of the pic for a relation of where the leak is

I tried to get a shot of the oil on the tranny but its not to easy to get the right angle. You can see the forward part of the tranny which is clean and the futher back part which has oil on it.

Another shot of the leak w/ the cat for refrence. I could see oil dripping down the H Pipe and you can smell it burning off the exhaust after it sits. Id guess its comming from the back of the motor, just hard to tell until I can get it on jack stands or a lift.

This is after the car has sat for awhile and its pretty much leaked all that its going to until its started up and run again. Sometimes its less, sometimes its more. I noticed that when I took it out this time it blew blue smoke (oil) out the tail pipes when I was in third and took it up to about 4,000 RPM's. Glad Im planning on a new motor next yr.

Sounds like he needs his Cobra taken away from him

YA, that sounds about right. Just becareful in adjusting the idle too high with the throttle screw. You'll pull a hight MAF Voltage and run richer..
 
Chris-

If I get the title and get the car registerd by friday any chance you can take a look at it at the shop either friday/sat to see where that leak is comming from and about getting it fixed. Not sure how busy you guys are or if I need an appoitment so let me know. I dont want to dump alot into this motor but would be nice to go to the track just to see what teh old stock unmodded 5.0 will run and Its not a good idea to go the way it is now.

Baby steps.
Haven't had time to do anything to the car this week. Been painting the back side of the house all day today and a large part of yesterday. Almost done with that. Next I have to paint the ceiling in the bedroom...YES I KNOW THAT IS FUNNY.
 
Nice looking exhaust on that car Travis. Hope you plan on dumping that crap over the winter. Saw a Bassaini catted x pipe recently for sale. I had one on my car before and I liked it. Great fit and sounded good.
