well i wanted the damn challenger! but in 08 the dealers were WAY over priving them and they were only autos. and the camaro want out either. and i have always been a mustang fan. but really i love all american cars/brands. im happy with the mustang. but thats why i have some of each brand to satisfy my thirst. so oh well. good luck with the build

ok so i dont wanna start a new thread and i have searched on here. but i have a question...
i have been known to be a little cheap from time to time and then over spend on other things...
the question is... i have the stock 5.3 harness. but i have a 4l80e trans. now i know the harness needs modded to work with the trans. but is there a write up somewhere that i cant find that show how to do this... oh should i just pay a vendor on here the $350 and have him do it? thanks

I was just looking at the pictures and it seems that it would be way easier to mount a modest size single turbo in that big open space behind the engine on the passenger side. Are you committed to running twins?

Well finally getting back to this car as time and money allows. Got her jacked back up today. Got the drums off to figure how to make my own disc brakes. thinking gt500 rotors and ctsv calipers.
will post pics of that tomorrow. Gonna separate the aluminum drums from the cast iron hubs tomorrow.
Here she is now

hey the old zephyr had a monster 12 right? go for it
as for me, I'd twin turbo a 4.8 iron block with some decent heads and go nuts with burn outs
I've got an old 560 sec mercedes and every time I see this I think about pulling the german engineering and building a truck bomb 4.8 with some hate
I've got 4 of these little suckers lined up in the build pipeline and its going to be a fun summer!

well finally commited the garage to this until it is running and driving... trailered it up to my place 3 hours from my folks were it has been sitting since i won it 11 years ago. here's what you have missed!
Got her out of the trailer with this clever tow bar my dad made me.
---
then used an old tire and my work truck "old blue" (also getting an LS1 t56 swap after lincoln) to get her into my garage
playing around here. only going with 1 turbo for money reasons. the master power on the left there. the other is just an ebay turbo i had on another project.
stocking up on bends
had a buddy get these steel wheels for his c10 and dont fit so he is making me a deal on them. i will recoat them black of corse.
