I'm new to Mustang restorations and just came across this thread. This has been a joy to read through, top quality work all the way through, you have the patience of a saint.
So sad to hear about your engine troubles but it seems that soon it will be done, you're going to feel like a million dollars when you get to drive this beast down the road. Good luck and thanks for sharing!

I love the Rick's Gas Tanks. Definitely going to get one for my mustang when I get closer to that point in my build. They are so well made and it is perfect for such an awesome build as yours.

Haha your prodding came at the right time. Actually, the engine was delivered yesterday! Took a lot longer than 4 to 6 weeks but it's here. And it looks awesome. The engine dyno'd at 465hp/517ftlbs of torque.

We started to install the Concept One pulley kit last night. Here's some eye candy for you but obviously we aren't finished yet.

And 517 Torque sounds like a whole lot of fun whether it is cross country or red light to red light.
