Default Getting closer too......56K no way....

Big thanks to Mo and Steve for all the help, we almost pulled off a big one but alas, she still needs a little more "gibletation" to be going down the road....
first it comes apart...


Me and Mo get busy.....19 hrs worth of busy


short block 302's look all tiny with no heads on 'em....


ahhhh, that's better...and lighter..


Steve doing the limbo on the header bolts..


3am and almost all together...


So....3 peoples, 8 months of parts gathering and a bunch of effort leads to a heads, cam & intake upgrade with all the trimmings for me...I can't wait to have it all sorted out and cruuuuuuuuuuuuzzzzze it.....


Oh yeah, made one other addition real quick today whilst tuning it....


Big thanks again to Mo and Steve for all the help, it would've never happened sooo fast without you guys...Quarterhorses represent!

Thanks Richard & Phil, I've messed with carbs all my life (including a gaggle of Six Pack cars) and once I drove some well modded 5.0's I couldn't resist. I sold all my carbed stuff and have been EFI ever since

Damn dude, you lost some serious weight! But wow, props to you, and nice 5.0. I hate the newer mustangs, but kinda like the foxbody's.
