New guy and his car
 

Hello. Im new here, Been browsing for awhile and decided to join. I have a 02 mustang GT. I have put a 5.4 DOHC Intech V-8 in it with a V2-SQ vortec super charger. I have put high torque cams H-beam rods and dished pistons in it. I changed the 5 speed for the Viper Spec T-56. I have bassani shorties and Xpipe followed by spintech side exhausts. 3:73 gears and a 36 spline rear axle. Here are some pictures....ENJOY! :toothy5:

Welcome aboard, nice ride. I am current working on a low compression Cobra block for my GT. Did you do all the work on it or have a shop do it.

No, I had a shop do it. I wish I had the time and knowledge to do it myself.

1 - Welcome

2 - The wing looks fake...don't like it.

3 - You have a 5.4 with a blower. You are the only guy allowed to have a wing like that. Once I read what you had under the hood, I now actually like the wing.

4 - I love the wing!

and the rest of the car.

Glad you like it. I've gotten allot of **** over the wing on the internet, but never in person. It does look different in person I guess. It trips me out that musclecar people are so against big wings when it was muscle cars that actually started the whole wing thing. SUPERBIRD. LOL. Oh well, to each his own eh?

i agree. if it was a v6, i'd say take that crap off. but with what you have under the hood, i say do whatever you want, and you will still have my utmost respect. the ony thing you could do to lose my respect would be get a v6 engine swap. LOLZ to the sorry soul who does that.

hey what else have you done to it?? ex: rims, body kit, etc.. btw very sweet ride

That has got to be soo true. Thing is about wings (big ones) that are too many stupid ones on cars that don't belong. But, if you see what a lot of the high-end tuners are doing lately (Steeda, etc...) they all tend to have large wings.

The car is simply breath-taking in all respects.

BTW, there is a thread running around here asking if a 5.4 will fit under the hood of a late model stang. You wanna take pay them a visit (he he he).

BTW, what does that beast run the in the 1/4?

I have yet to run it in the 1/4, but me and my dad are gonna get our mustangs together and make a video soon. He has a 66 vert with a 331 stoker in it.

As far as the rims and body kit and such. I have put 18 inch chrome 03 cobra rims wrapped in TOYO proxies. It has the 00 Cobra R front bumper, a GTR rear bumper and a SN95 bodystyle Cobra R hood. The Blue flames were done by Anderson Brothers in Huntsville, TX. They did an awsome job. The flames change color in the Sunlight due to a thick pearl overcoat.

How do your toyo proxies hook with that power? Like em? Love em? Hate em?

Ill have to let you know here in a few days when I get the car back. It is pretty much finished, they just have to flash the chip and put the belt on it. The proxies hooked very well when it was a 4.6 SOHC with a 100 shot, exhaust, power pullies, and gears. I dont think they are gonna give me much traction if I launch hard on them. Therefore I am about to buy stock in M/T. BTW: Your car looks exactly like mine used to.

Mineral Grey is where its at and the car looks great. Nice job.

Nice ride... any idea what your rwhp will be after it is finished... if you dont mind me asking what did the swap run you....i been think about 5.4 swap myself...

Well all in all, just the engine swap without tranny and all that follows, I may have spent 12 thousand. With everything that is done they are projecting about 590rwhp on motor and 630 or so on the Juice. We will have to wait and see.

love it
 

man i love that stang....that is EXACTLY what i would want to do to mine one day....i love the front fascia, i love the wing, i love the flames, i love the 5.4, i love the charger......anytime you wanna sell it just holler at me! even if its in 20 years! good job, nice choice on everything, but def. learn how to do that stuff yourself even if you arent that good with engines - you will have even more pride in your awesome car! yeah and make sure you tell us all how it runs against ur dads stang

Yeah, I am currently going to UTI in Houston, taking the automotive courses. I could probably do the work right now, (maybe) but I dont have the resources (shop,tools,equipment) to do it. Hopefully I will be able to change that soon. Glad you like the car man. Hopefully when me and the old man run em, I'll get it on video.

Wow, some pocket change to spare
