Well, here we go. I haven't made a build thread on the car yet so I figured that I might as well. I'm James, I'm a 21 year old college student and this is my "budget" build. I'd like to thank Jon from FIC for being a huge help with the car. This is my 2000 Mustang v6 that i bought with a blown engine for $1300. It was probably one of the cleanest, low milage new edge mustangs that i have ever seen. I almost feel bad for doing what i did to it. It now terminator cobra replica. The original goal for the car didn't get followed at all. It was supposed to be a full interior car, no roll cage, no turbos, no automatic. I had a nitrous 347 sbf and a g force t5 that i was going to use for a fun daily/weekend car. Turns out things escalated quickly and here we are. Everything on this list is stuff that i already have. This build has been a year so far, progress is slow for the most parts. Opinions are more then welcome on the build, constructive criticism is always more then welcome. The car will run on pump e85 and e98 if I'm feeling froggy. It should be a fun car that i can drive to work and back while being competitive at the track.

Great parts list, curious to see how lazy the gt 45's will be in the lower rpm range. As it was said earlier, "street car" with a window net and chute lol
Looks great! Don't all street cars have window nets and chutes?

Neither can I haha, yea its been a long time coming to buy everything. i usually wait until team z is running a sale or ill shop around for a while and find the absolute lowest price on whatever it is that I'm looking for.
These are some random pics throughout the build. They're not in order (will fix). It's been a long progression but she's defininately made a complete 180.
I know this is an old thread, but I just wanna know if I just want to drop an LS engine inside a V6 mustang do I need to do any cutting for the engine? Don’t wanna do anything special
