Well she is in there! I heard it run lastnight on open headers..... sounds good. but I only fired it up for a few seconds as I didnt have the radiator in it yet. Fires right up with no problem though.

For the record........
a. AOD/AODE/4R70W trans will all bolt up to a 351W. The AODE and 4R70W requires the use of a seperate computer just for the trans. I got the Buamann TCS. Fairly easy to wire. I had so many conflicting opinions about that one is why I state it. I only used the stock convertor with about 2200 stall until I can get something else reasonable.

Used a QA1 tubular K-member for a 94/95 mustang. this was pretty much a staight swap. altho I had problems because as I stated before my car had been wrecked. took some finessing <cough> sledge hammer <cough> LOL. One suggestion.... If you ever order a Tubular K-Member. get the A arms to match. Otherwise you better own a saw-zaw andor agrinder.

New motor mounts for a 94/95
ford racing oil pan kit for 351W Fox

The Damndest thing..... BBK 1 3/4" Long tubes. (with a little re-bending)
Bolted old heads down to the frame machine and bolted new heares on the and took a porter power to push them down and out slightly. Manual trans I beleive would have no problems. I only hit on the shift linkage. they just barely clear the steering sector though

Swapped the 7.5" rear end out to a 8.8" with 4.10's. Bolted right in. I am having problems with a drive shaft though. it may be as simple as switching theslip yoke, butthis problem justpoped uptonight.

UPR drive shaft loop installed


This thing looks like a buther job right now. I am just trying to get it driveable right now though. I will then go through and clean up wiring and hosses. My front brackets look like **** on there. When I get back home, I am peeiling them all back off and glass beading them for sure.

Since I am without a car right now I really cant make it up to the coffee shop around here to upload any pics. Where I am staying only has dial up, so as many pictures as I have would take a week to upload.
They will be coming though for sure.

Well I found a local shop here that would shorten my driveshaft about an inch for $50. Other guy wanted $40 for the other driveshaft which had the wronge yoke on it (31 spline).

My stock driveshaft has a dampner on it which restricts it from going in any further even if I did cut a little off the yoke. So my options were to change yokes to one without the dampner on it which would cost me $60-$70 for new FMS or the $50 for shortening. No brainer.....

Having problems with the TCS system though. I cannot for the life of me figure out why the laptop is not sending or recieving any information to the new TCS box. I think it is the serial cable to USB adapter. I had heard that the ones that require software were a problem. this is all I could find though from Radio shack...

Today Im Installing tranny cooler/ driveshaft/ misc. water hose fittings for bleeder valve/ Set clock spring to center and bolt tie-rod ends back on. Once I get a base program in the TCS Im driving it!

Well I have been driving it the last two days. Just rolled it over to 100 miles since it's been in my car. I will tell ya...... For a mild 351, it is plenty fast enough for what I need it for. Bolted on a set of 26/8.5/15 MT slicks to see what it would do ........[8D]I was more than happy.

This car turns heads now! Im lovin every minute of it, lol. Loud as **** though. I have the BBK long tube headers with Flow Tech glass pack turn downs right off of them just to get me by until I can get to the muffler shop. When I get back home, I am going to really clean everything up in the engine bay and rewire some things for a cleaner look. Hood clearance is a bit of an issue right now.... It is on there, but the back of the cowl is rubbing the air cleaner. I need to drop the motor a bit and slide it back a little further. Minor little things here and there I am working out also.

I am going to try and get my cousin to get his video camera and take some footage and post it on youtube or something and I will link it to the page.

Can't wait to see the footage

Sorry it took a bit. Kind of hand my hands full for a while and kind of stuck without a ride for now.
it is still in the paint booth, but should be finished up tomorrow sometime. Will be white base with red pearl over base coat. We are going to try a test panel, but I want to put somewhat of ghost stripesfrom bumper to bumper with the pearl. Not sure if it will work though.

Here they are.........


When I first got the car @ age 16. (this is how I bought it)













Dont mind the dates.... My camera resets itself everyime I turn it on/off.... POS!

Any way here it is after My dad, uncle and I fixed it the first time........






They did all of the body/ paint work (I tried to help, but kind of a you know how or you dont)..... I redid the interior.
