what to do with my stang?
Yeah that is Blake's old car. Very sweet looking and strong running car. I'd rebuild the motor, drop a E-303 cam in it, pick up a gt-40 head off a wrecked 5.0 Explorer or pickup, get a tb for it, and get some LT's for it. Then go get it tuned at DTP. The tranny in it is used but doesn't have the mileage the car has on it. Blake could specify more on the tranny.

Thought these guy's have already done a great job. once again, GooD LuCk !
I've have always been imports ever since my first VW bug. Funny thing is, that my first car was suppose to have been a 65 mustang with a small cobra motor w/ the 4 speed. Alas, my dad sold it about 6 months before i got my license. Very smart man...although at the time I was pissed at him
I do like the 05 stangs, and the 06's look even better. For once, ford is thinking about engine dynamics & efficiency, instead of the old 1970 tech.
I still would like to see tech like a V8 have a 100hp per liter, vtec, DOHC, aluminum blocks and heads, 4 valve per cylinders, and better flow dynamics in the heads.
thanks blake for taking good care of it. I dunno what ithe car was going to end up like if hadnt bought it. rear shocks on this thing are completely ripped up, i dont care if my ride gets a lil bumpy. whats a good brand? Well with what you have all told me i am going to get an earlier 5.0 block and do some if not all of the stuff mentioned then boost it. When i saw the car i was suprised to see it was in such great condition "exterior, interior" there was some lil stuff like a broken windshiled, all 4 tires were bald, radiator was leaking its ass off. im guessing the clutch is stock or what? i dunno its so different compared to my other cars. thanks for the info

j/k.. twin turbo that biotch....
i think the civic i traded the stang for is having bad times. I dont want to start anything at all but when i had it i babied it and it never gave me a problem once. but if someone was to race it, it did have a chipped p28 with no revlimiter so IF it was taken to 9,000 rpms then bad times. however Im taking no assumptions and i hope the car is working out for him. maybe i should start a TT charity fund

building a jy turbo kit for a fox is much easier than for 94+. everyone and their brother has done one for a fox. hell, you can even get everything minus the turbo's from ponydown. 94+ would require more fabin'.
