I am pretty excited. Now I just need a couple yokes and a driveshaft and the car will be mobile! This is all in my 1991 Mustang Notchback along with a 4L80E.

Pretty much everything I have is in the build thread in my signature. It is yet to be painted, but that will be coming after a while too.

Haha, I don't think it is all that understanding of the 10 point cage! But yeah I have another fox with doors that not only creak, but complain loudly!

Thanks man! I am pretty stoked. Finishing up the radiator mounts and stuff today and then I hope to be able to do a little idle tuning at least here in the driveway till I can afford to get the driveshaft and yokes.

taking a while to process...this one is high def though. Still kinda dark out, but not much more to see. I really think the Magnaflow mufflers do a pretty good job and keep the sound manageable for a 4" exhaust that is only about 28" total length, lol.

Me too! I can't wait to start making some passes at the track! But that is probably at least a couple months off. If I had to guess a month to get the drive shaft and yokes, then another to get the spool, c-clip eliminators and axles.

Don't know a ton about that, but guessing a 24x reluctor wheel.

my motor is 07 or newer with a 58x reluctor wheel. i used the lignefelter box that goes from 58x to 24x. and a 4x 3 bolt cam gear. also need a ls2 front cover and extend you cam sensor wires to the front cover.

I would give the guys at DIYautotune a call or email. They may have some solutions as well. Heck they may even have changed the software to work with the 58x stuff.

Thanks man, I am sure the 92mm turbine is going to work great. I can already tell it is responsive even on this little 5.3 motor. I have already been eyeballing the billet 80mm upgrade you guys offer, but that will probably be next season.
