Unfortunately, it's my son's car. The original build thread is here: https://mustangforums.com/forum/4-6l...e-rebuild.html

Long story short, he kept wasting his money and lying to me while his car sat disassembled in my driveway for a year. I finally kicked him and his car out. He and his buddies, not having a clue what they were doing, assembled the engine and installed it. He smoked the clutch and flywheel within 50 miles because it was installed improperly. He locked up the transmission because he didn't put fluid back in it. He couldn't even be bothered to apologize and yet when he was stranded on the side of the interstate it was still me that came to his rescue. Now I'm trying to fix all his screw ups. He's got more than twice the money into this car as what it's worth. He absolutely insists on learning the hard way....
