Default 5.4 swappers... good news about adapter plates.

Hey kids:

The rumored and possibly factual evaporation of Reichard Racing leaves a giant hole in the market for adapter plates for us 5.4 swappers. Thankfully I have been working on an improved version and after the next round of improvements they'll be brought to market in full force. They're lighter than the Reichard plates, flow better and will probably cost a good bit less.

I can't let too many details loose right now but I have assurance from my partner in this that we'll be able to do it no problem and on the quick.

The company I'm working with will also make them available with other options that will boost your 5.4's potential even further.

Please don't bug me too much about the details. Just trust that the ONLY reason I'm bothering is so you guys can have somewhere to get plates for your project.

I'll laugh if one bullit just one. Built up beyond belief rolls in there and spanks everyone.

It is usually a Bullitt that takes it every year. Maybe right off the showroom floor the Mach1 will best the Bullitt in the 1/4, but Bullitts came out in 2001. We've had 6 years of modding.

maybe this year some brave chap with a twin turbo mach will come and lay the smack hand down. I'm seriously thinking about picking up a mach for the wife and leaving it bone stock. I wonder if I could actually follow through with the whole keeping it stock thing...

I would recommend a few weeks worth of patience and then I hope to announce a more definite timeline and perhaps some pricing details. It's an easy part to make.

I got an email this morning from a company, saying they would be building adapter plates.

I dont want to say any names or anything, but I think for some reason its the same place r3d is talking with.

2eighty1 PM me please so we can chat a bit. It's important that we all know what's what with this deal and I want to make sure you and I are in sync. Some things need to stay secret but others can be spoken of and we should make sure we both know what's what and see if we have any info for each other.

But yeah... I betcha a buck it's the same company.

you guys are going to really like the new design. I've made some improvements that will really help flow and ease installation.
