90% through with the trunk, just need to hide the RCA wires and vacuum the back up and I am done with the trunk.

Changed out the carpet with a black carpet and decided to add a new shifter and a few gauges and a switch panel.

Damn Roger. The car is looking good!

Well, today I decided the front was too high so I decided to pull it out of the garage before the next class started and she goes into the garage for another 3 months. Decided to take some before and after pictures and took quite a bit. LOL!!!

After The Drop...

 

[wickedstangs]

Damn sexy what springs did you use?

 

[Mustangcwo]

Looking Good Roger. Now all you need is a NOS gauge for the center of that counsel.

 

[infidel]

Got a few things... Cant wait till the next break to begin install..

Just need to find a set of heads and cam and I am ready to tackle this project

 

[wickedstangs]

Installed the manifold and 1 inch spacer to clear valve covers. Installed an accufab 75mm throttle body and egr delete spacer as well. Next break the Manifold and the spacer and valve covers will be powdercoated and it will all be cleaned up

Just picked this up for the car

So here we go. I waited to build the motor and now that I am getting to it I want to do it the right way.

I bought a shortblock 327 stroker built by Hawaii racing but I tore it apart to get a fresh rebuild.

Ok so here is what I have so far and what I will be ordering, I am open to suggestions about other things I may need for the build. I have a cartech Turbo kit that I will be installing in a month or two as well. Here are my questions
1. What size injectors should I be looking at?
2. What size/brand MAF should I be looking at?
3. What else should I be looking for in the rebuild?

Here are my goals.
I plan on driving this car daily with no issues, I am more concerned with doing it right the first time and as much as this stinks to say cost is not an issue. That does not mean that I have a ton of money it just means that I do not want to do things the cheap way and end up with problems in the future. I plan on running 7-10 lbs of boost so its nothing crazy. Please give me some ideas on what I am looking at in the future. I would rather do things the right way versus the right now way.



UPDATE: (20130305)
Dropped the disassembled short block to Total Performance in Santee, the work they are going to be is as follows
1. Hot tank and mag block
2. Hone block w/ torque plate
3. Final wash for assembly
4. Clean and polish Crankshaft
5. Line hone main W studs, set bearing CL
6. Surface block
7. remove and replace pistons
8. Pin fit pistons
9. Pin Fit rods
10. Resize rods, set bearing cl
11. Clean, mic, glass bead pistons
12. File fit piston rings
13. Blueprint and assemble shortblock
14. Rings, Bearings, spirlox, rear seal.

Will update with pics soon

Parts coming in. Awaiting the short block assembly

Well the bottom end of the motor is complete. I sent my timing chain cover to get glass beaded and then it will be powdercoated and I took my Holley systemax to get hot tanked. I ordered everything else I would need to complete the motor except the MAF and injectors.

This is a SICK build thread!

Roger, the car is really coming along nicely. I will have to bow to the newest Wickedfox on the street. I'll have to get the motor out of mine soon and get it ready for the stroker install.

 

[infidel]

Thanks brother, I really put off doing the motor for a very long time and I think my time came. I am very pleased to have a pretty much brand new motor with 0 miles on it. Once the turbo is installed its paint and body time for this car. I will try to keep it as clean as yours. There has to be an end in sight though lol

End in sight? I keep telling myself the same thing. Next is the motor and then....I'll find something.
