Thanks guys!
I've been so stressed out and wrapped up in selling old parts and funding the new motor so I really haven't had much time to soak it all in.. lol I'm still trying to get the right motor to fit into the budget, and my builder (Troy from FPS) has been awesome at working with my budget. Definitely shooting for a fully forged roller 408 with CNC ported aluminum heads and 500+ horsepower. I'll know within the next week or so what happens, Once that's all sorted out I'll be able to focus on the more intricate things on the car like the front headlamp assemblies and completing/detailing all the underneath and cabin sheetmetal. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh, I think I need to take a break! lol

hmmmm, My engine builder has a deal on a set of +.060 Ross coated-skirt forged pistons for a 418 (424 actually). I'm all about building what ya got when you're on a budget, so it looks like I'm actually going with a 424 stroker. Since you can go +.100 on a Windsor bore I'm not against the idea of the bigger bore. More cubes is always a good thing, too.

Here's a video and another publication from Stang TV involving FPS, (My engine builder) they have some good press for sure. I love what these guys do!
