after it blew up last year it has just been sitting at the shop, so today i decided to start tearing it down...

so far ive removed my burnt to hell clutch, pressure plate, flywheel, shorty headers, lower plenum and fuel rails...saturday the heads are coming off and as much as i can get off as well...

oh yeah, i hate autozone...i got my wheels in today with no lug nuts so i went to autozone and asked for locking lug nuts for a 95 mustang and they gave me the wong ones...idiots...

Sounds like a plan to me.
What is the future of the engine/car?

sounds like a stout combo but why 3.27 gears? seems awfully low especially with the t56. you plan on doing high speed runs?

Home come carb? I've had experience with carb and EFI road racing and though the carb is easier to deal with, the EFI is more precise That should be a fun project
