it looks pretty good.
how much did you pay for it?

 

i got it for 600 it needs a couple of things im going to swap in a s4 t2 rear end i got to buy the ls1, mounts, and tranny im going to put it all together then im going to take the motor and tranny out of the car and sell them kind of do a weekend swap this will be during this winter im just going to take my time

im going to drive it with the motor in it for the summer for now then hopefully next summer i will have a beast

i think it needs some wheels im going to start looking for some this week then nest week im going to remove emissions and fix the exhaust and clean the crap out of it

 

As far as the Mustang goes Ian, it's got a few things. The exterior was the LX body but had the Saleen bumpers, side skirts, spoiler, and then a Cervini's fiberglass hood. Headlights, mirrors, taillights were all stock and obviously the rims were aftermarket Centerlines.

As far as suspension and power went, it has quite a few things. Suspension wise just to name a few things - full length subframe connectors, BBK springs, larger sway bars, panhard bar setup, aftermarket control arms, and quite a few other things. Power wise it's not a beast, but it had a few things - Ford Racing headers, Cobra 5.0 intake setup, Ford Racing F series cam, Crane Cams ignition setup, and there's some other stuff in there too. Brakes it's been upgraded to Thundercoupe rear disc and Mustang SVO front brakes. Has other things like a posi-trac 8.8 rear diff with 3.73's, Pro-5 short shift, front brake line lockers, Walboro 255lph fuel pump, and a multitude of other ****. The audio system is built up well too. Pretty much the only thing the car needs is a set of GT40P heads. It's basically setup as a street/strip car.

I'm actually going to be selling it here shortly, all I'm waiting on is a new power door lock actuator and window motor and the car will be completely fixed and done-over.

The car looks pretty nice Steve. Looks like it should be a great project. If I recall the S4 and S5 starter were the same. The only difference between the trannies was that the S4 one was overall stronger due to stronger synchros. If you need help removing the emissions and all the **** Steve, let me know. I'm pretty sure I remember where I bought all my parts and block-off plates and such and how I did it all. You got my number so just give me a call.

 

ian im going to need that starter i can trade you another t2 one so you have a extra or just give you some money for it let me know pm me with what you want to do i might be able to come up this weekend

im hoping to pick up some wheels for it this week then next week im going to get it going and start driving it the next auto x around here i will probly run at

 

anyone here have a k26 turbo by chance? mine seized. apparently it didn't like 21psi.

 

ebay has a few they were pretty cheap like 85 plus shipping what kind of numbers did you run what car ended up winning for the imports

 

i didn't run it yet. i was going to at midnight mayhem tonight. are you going? ill bring that pulley with.

 

i probly wont ill talk to my old lady and see what she says i have my son this weekend and i have to work in the morning you could mail it to me if you want ill pay for shipping

 

ill just wait until i see you next.

hopefully there's at least one rotary there tonight...

 

id bring my 7 but it still needs some work to be driveable imo

plus with it being a n/a and having the 3.9 rear end in it, it really wouldnt do very well in the 1/4 next summer i should have the ls1 in it then ill see how it runs

 

pfff.

you and your LS1.

 

Pfft, no kidding.

******* Steve and his blasphemy. Putting a LS1 in the FC is like a slight against God.

 

damn me and high 11's on a n/a motor

if you guys want to donate a running t2 motor and everything needed ill leave it rotary otherwise vvvvvvvvvvvvv-hhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

 

If you end up putting a TII motor in it and let Brian drive it it'll just end up blowing up again. Scratch that idea.

 

You should hear Brians side of the story. Pretty interesting. Dont blow up that S5 Steve. I'm basically calling dibs. Yes, already.

 

I never got to hear his side of the story. I'm guessing it's pretty interesting?

 

I cant remember exactly what he said but basically it sounded like they were taking turns driving the car at the strip and it "just so happened" to blow up when Brian was driving it. Hearing the story from him is better, or at least it was when he told me. He was freaking out about it and it was pretty hilarious. He was pretty stressed out that day anyways though.

 

brians side- i was going down the strip and i missed the redline, then ended up going to 9000 rpm oh well

i got out and worked on the 7 for a bit today took off the rats nest and then im going to start taking the 5th and 6th ports out what all is involved in doing this im too lazy to search

ian i need your address i deleted it ill probly be down there around 1030-11 tomarrow ill have a good motor and tranny ill be selling and a automatic rear end ian if you want to call dibs you can but i have to look up and see what that stuff goes for before i can give you a price

 

Steve, if you need any help with that ****, give me a call. I'm pretty sure I remember exactly everything I did with mine when I had it.

 

i got everything blocked off tonight and got the 5th and 6th ports out and blocked off i think all i have left to do it put it all back together and wait for my wheel spacers should be coming anyday now

ian i need a hood painted pm me or call me back

 

Did you change out the cat? The split air pipe that controled the 5th and 6th ports connects to the main cat, so you'll have a leak unless you change it. Also, what did you make your 5th and 6th port block-off plates out of?

 

it didnt have a cat on it i put some stick weld in the holes where the rods were i think that should be good i got to change the starter out tonight then put the manifolds back on then i have to put my wheel spacers on should be driveable tonight

 

LOLDogbite

 

"sir i innocently reached into your vehicle and your dog violently attacked me, causing me to use an oily rag as a bandage. No biggie just an FYI"

 

Definitely the oily rag as a bandage topped the whole thing off.

But seriously, who the **** parks their vehicle and just takes a nap?
