Got the alternator wired up and installed and that belt back on. Got the upper radiator hose modified and connected (no thermostat for right now... can't find it). Got the TPS wire tapped and connected to the methanol kit, got the relay connected and main power wire for IC pump run. IC pump bracket is almost done. Got the throttle cable installed and nearly finished with the new bracket for it.

I gotta finish those 2 brackets, install a new fuel pump, replace 1 fuel hose fitting with a 90deg, add radiator coolant, IC coolant, fill the methanol/water tank, test all the electrical, check for fuel leaks, start it up.

Here's the engine bay as it sits now



And a quartering view for some perspective.

 

Why you consider selling this is insane to me...

 

BACK AWAY FROM THE ... BEAST!

 

What kind of hood are you going with? Just one with a hole in it? lol.

 

EDIT:
Intz: I want a 2011. And I want to retire early. Both happen if I sell this car relatively soon. Only the latter if it takes much longer than a year to sell it.

yes, the kind with a hole in it for now.

 

Incredible! Really awesome. I know that a 2011 is way classier inside and out, but the pull you feel in that car will probably be the thing you miss most, huh?

 

That looks pretty cool, love that blower nicely tucked in there.

 

I love the feel of 99-04s. Its soo perfect for a comfy fast car. Man that car is just bad ***. It can definetly keep the title of beast.

 

Damn that thing is tall!

Were gonna need some in car video!

 

wow wow speech less that's a awesome car r3dn3ck

 

dude that is awesome!!!

 

sick.

 

thats sick dude, idk if you mentioned it probably did but how long has it taken you to do all this?

 

+1000 or a sound clip.....or just a vid of the motor running and that S/C whining away.

 

I started the mods the day I bought it off the showroom floor, literally. It took about 3 years to finish the suspension, brakes and the usual bolt on parts. The engine took another 2.5 years to piece together and get installed, the headers took 8 months, the blower has so far taken 8 months. Actually... there's a much more accurate timeline on my web page... www.54stangs.com and there's at least 2 vids of it running, though without the blower.

Coming VERY soon. It's only a days work or so from being able to fire it up and drive it down to the tuner. I'll try and fire it up this weekend and get a vid. It's gunna run like *** probably till I tune it but we'll see.

EDIT: and thanks for all the positive guys. means a lot.

I will miss the **** out of the car, especially the way it pulls so fiercely.

 

is this post sale or pre sale?

 

pre... had a couple serious bites but nobody has taken it yet. For you fishy, I'll give it to you for 10 grand as is + tuned.

 

Is that just a bolt in roll bar or what?

 

it's bolted and the flanges were welded down after that. So both.

 

I'd get my old rims back too

thanks man..but I'm pushin the limits trying to afford the 5.4 that I currently have

good luck with the sale.

 

Only if i had the money.....

 

Very nice, I'm jealous. Kind of wish I could have both cars, but I guess we'll see what happens. I am curious to how come you've done so much, but yet it's not really pushing that much.

 

+1000000000

 

you see... that's why you shouldn't be allowed to know or discuss dyno numbers until you actually understand what they mean. If you knew what the numbers it's putting out meant, you'd have never posted that.

It's putting out a **** load more than you understand because you're looking at peak numbers at 5250 rpm. Not at the 315lbs of tq it makes on average from idle to redline. No you're worried about peak numbers without a referenced RPM which don't mean ****.

 

BTW... car's gone. Sold it to some mexi-melt that buys and sells cars today for 8 grand cash.

 

What?! The?! ****?!

That car for 8 grand? Thats a shame.

 

That's awesome!
