I believe 700rwhp is an really achievable goal!!
I would like to be pushing a little more for the track at some point!

RE: Heart transplant has begun!
Wasn't there an article in a mustang magazine early last year (or maybe late of 06) that bought a base v6 and then bought the gt500 engine and drivetrain. The guy also put in a custom suspension, exhaust, and some other things. Total cost of that was like $40000 I think and he had everything custom and how he wanted...makes me kick myself everytime I think about that because that would have been the best way for an AMAZING car...

Awesome. Can't wait to see the prrogress.
I have a question, out of curiosity, when you replace an engine that is not what the VIN code matches, and it is time for smog, how does that work? I believe here in CA( I know different states vary with emission laws), if the engine size doesn't match the VIN number it automaically fails. And if I remember when I lived in VA in the late 90's they also passed this rule. Is it just a matter of going to the DMV and getting that changed?
This isn't an intent of starting an arguement of screw the law, I am just curious what the legal way of doing it is.

RE: Heart transplant has begun!
Well just a quick update from the shop this morning! The front clip for the transplant will be in tomorrow evening late!
We ordered a few small items to help with the install. A set of Kooks LT's, Off road H and a new Driveshaft shop GT500 driveshaft.
Luckily the weathers crap so the track is closed.......I wont feel so bad about the car being in surgery!
Old motor is stripped down!
My old (brand new) drive shaft!! ugh!!
I should have some pics to post of the new Heart tomorrow evening!! I'm starting to get excited!!
