I emailed the guy about it and this is what he sent me

Yes it is the
original block but It has been rebuilt, line bored, rods resized, everything
is in good shape engine wise.

1989 Mustang GT, I bought this car about 5 years ago completely stock for
with 100K miles on it. Since I have added a lot of goodies and had lots of
fun along the way. I did a 5-lug and rear disc conversion with running gear
from I believe a Lincoln Town Car. Cobra R rims with 255 45's in the front
and 275 45's in the rear. LX taillights. The exhaust consists of 1 5/8's JBA
Shortys with a 2.5" off-road H-pipe and 2.5" 2 chamber Flowmaster "Cat-Back"
exhaust for the GT. Motor is freshly rebuilt with a 284HR Comp Cam and
stronger Edlebrock Valve Springs, the cam is a Supercharger grind. The heads
them self's and the intake are stock. 30lb Injectors with matching mass air
sensor and appropriate fuel system mods including extra in-line fuel pump. I
put the Procharger D1-SC supercharger on with a 3-core intercooler; it is
set up to push 12lbs of boost. The stereo is a pioneer with alpine speakers
and two Rockford Fosgate 12" subs. This car sounds very nice with the cam
and supercharger. I have never dynoed it or run it on the track, it has
mostly been a fun little project for me and my interests have now changed. I
hope someone else can further my work, this is a sweet car. Paint is in ok
shape with a few areas peeling and one little spot of rust on the hatchback.
I have a video of this car idling and can take more pictures upon request


I dono what to think of it, on what hand it looks like a reall clean fox with a great start of mods. On the other its running 12lbs on a stock block with stock intake and heads . What do you guys think, worth checking out? Ive been looking for a while now and am getting impatient

I think you said it yourself... its a great start, with saving the money that you will on the rebuild, and the blower, you can buy a set of heads and an intake. Or find one that is done.

I run 15psi non-intercooled which is worse on a stock block with 150k miles and ported E7 heads. But I have only been doing it for 10years.lol
