Default Any MF oldtimers around? New build started!

Hey GUYS!

Any of you older MF guys still kicking around here? I am starting a new build I just couldn't leave this thing stock that I just bought, I lasted all of 2 months in the new stang. Have a few quick questions or open to sugestions on what to build this winter.

-CHOICES 331 or 347 DSS pro Bullet?
-Stay SD with NOS or convert to MAF (want a challenge thinking of keeping it SD)
-Tremec Tranny or race prepped C-4? Any experiences from either side appreciated
-NEED suspension help, anyone here using K members with lightweight a arms? How hard to do it?
-Basically trying to get a gamplan, need this thing to lift tires.

Yeah why not? Are they that ****ty? Not building a high rever so figured they would be better than my local broke *** machine shop. Where else is there to shop for a shortblock? How are those GT40 crate motors?

get a shortblock from fordstrokers.com call woody and tell him what you want and he will build you a top notch setup for whatever you are looking for. If you want to lift tires you are going to need more than a GT40 setup.

REHAB! hahahah jk. Nah just bought a 01 was going to run the saleen kit on it, including the blower and was to lazy, those things are just not near as fun to work on as the fox's. So just bought another one for something to do other than hockey for the winter. Who is all stillkicking around here? blacksnake? 88bluegt? anyone How is your ride coming along?

****TY, what happened? How did you like the 347? I am kinda starting to gear toward a 347 instead of the 331. Nothing for modsright now man, I found this car local BONE stock in awesome shape, I was going to keep it that way because virgins are hard to find these days. But yeah its not going to work, its a 88GT stick, that ugly maroon color but there is no rust, everything on its super tight has 180,000 Kilometers....picked it up for 4 G Canadian. What kinda prices for the Boss blocks, any good articles about them? Anyone building boss shortblocks?
