The Official Silver Bucket Build thread..UPDATED
JonBeast posted a good idea about consolidating the build of the Bucket. I will end up making this a sticky, so I can update with pics and info. All work is being done by Texas Hot Rods in El Paso, Texas. They are a supporting vendor on Mustang Forums.
Last dyno runs and 1/4 mile times with old set up are 342rwhp and 351rwtq...Best N/A time is a 12.09@112mph. Best 1/4 mile N2O time with 125HP jet with #7 and #8 piston rings letting go is a 11.44@112mph. The motor let go just after the 1/8. On that run the 1/8 mile time was a 7.2@99mph.
Here is a list of changes:
*Going from MAC 1 5/8" primariesLT'sto Kooks custom stainless 1 7/8" primaries LT's
*MAC 2.5" O/R ProChamber to Kooks custom stainless 3" O/R X-pipe
*Dynomax 2.5" Race Bullet mufflers to Kooks stainless 3" Race Bullet mufflers
*Comp Cams Beehive springs to Manley High Lift valve springs
*Stage 2 port/polish to Stage 3 port/polish on my VT heads
*Forged reciprocating assembly rebalanced with new 13.5:1 compression pistons
*Black powdercoat on my P51 intake
*Accel COP's to MSD COP's
*CPR billet hi-flo fuel rails to Aeromotive billet hi-flo fuel rails
*Stock fuel tank with SVT Focus fuel pump to Custom aluminum 10 gallon fuel cell with Aeromotive 1000 fuel pump
*Weld ProStar aluminum wheels (15x3.5 front and 15x10 rear) to Weld Magnum Pro aluminum wheels (15x3.5 front and 15x10 rear) about a 30lb+ savings
*165R15 front radial tires (front) to MT ET Front Runners 15x4's another 15lb savings
*26x11.5x15 MT ET Streets to 28x10.5x15 MT ET Drags
*T3650 to TKO 500 tranny
*Forged 11.25:1 compression 5cc dish pistons to Forged 13.5:1 compression fly cut, flat top pistons
*stock steering wheel to Momo steering wheel (another weight saver)
*Dash gutted for weight savings...A/C, stereo, stock amps/speakers, air bags, insulation, etc all removed (weight savings)
*Bumpers gutted (weight savings)
*UPR polished aluminum radiator cover (added weight, but added bling)
*SOS Outlaw aluminum race wing
*03-04 Cobra sideskirts
*ARP 3" wheel studs up front
*Suspension dialed in for 1.3x 60' times
*Stock fuel system to Aeromotive return style fuel system
*ZEX wet kit with 125HP jets and dual 10lb bottles to TNT Hit Man wet kit with 150HP jets and 200HP jets and dual 15lb bottles

I love your car man!
My car is officially retired from daily driving now so for the next two years I get to work on suspension and bling. When I get out of school in two years my gift to myself will be a fully built motor!!!!!!
