Default The New Build

in this thread i will document the progress of my new build and probably ask some questions. the car is a second owner 1990 GT with 14k original miles. i picked it up with no motor or trans. it does have a tubular k member and a arms, flaming river rack and 5 lug conversion with axles and gears.






the motor is being built as we speak by Bennett Racing and should arrive next week. it is a Dart block 347 making 510 hp. very similar to the motor in this link except with Ford Z heads and RPM II intake.

http://www.bennettracing.com/Crate%2...31%20347P.html

the trans is a TKO 600 built by D&D performance with a Zoom stage 3 clutch and Ford Racing bell housing and billet flywheel







the fuel system is Aeromotive




today the 75mm throttle body and egr spacer came and tomorrow i should get a PMS, meter, 38 lb injectors and power pipe from Anderson
Ford Racing



and that brings us up to speed
