^^^ i can understand that one, i hate when guys come out acting all hard and crap. I mean come on if your polite and nice about it im sure whoevers making the noise would also be. Then again heck with it!!!

 

lol yea the guy next to me has a baby so i understand his complaint. but he is new to the neighborhood so he had yet to learn that I DONT GIVE A F&CK! i rip it out my driveway all the time in the stang. hes just used to my truck which is a lot quieter.. oh well i cant wait til its done so i can switch the plates from the ranger to the stang for the spring/summer

 

Looks like your gunna have a nice fun car for the summer.

 

ya i hope it will be. we are doing the motor on the 88 lx tomorrow and hopefully get it running. and then wed we are doing my car. i got all the gaskets in. i cant wait to see her running again!

 

good luck!!!

 

well got some work done today. i had to run to the store and buy some bolts and other various things like new vac lines cuz my old ones were crap and spark plugs. we got the cam in, new timing chain on, timing cover/water pump on, the heads on, rockers mounted, and headers bolted up. i just need to get the explorer lower drilled and tapped for the ACT sensor. my buddy's father is a machinist and hes got what i need. so we will be doing that tomorrow. but prob not much else. hopefully friday we can get her buttoned up.

oh and i have been painting some of the things so they dont look as sh!tty; like the upper and lower intake aluminum color, and the valve covers black. i also got a strut tower brace for $20 and im gonna paint it black cuz its all scraped up and red... lol

here are a few pics



i got the good head gaskets not the cheapo's







oh and on the lx we re converted it to mass air. the guy before ripped it out for some reason.. lol but we didnt get much else done cuz we lost the cam bolt lol..

 

just saw this thread been a while since i been on mustang forums, sounds like a nice set up your going to have...

 

Nice work... looks like it's coming along well. That's a sharp looking car! With the exception of the stock 302 and the shot of nitrous, we have the same exact mods, haha. I'm piecing together an engine rebuild for my '94, only mine will be a 306. Slightly different manufacturers in some cases, but same mods in general You should definitely be able to get into the 12's... might need some DR's soon though.

 

What type of gaskets are those...

 

cepowers i do have some nittos but i took them off to put the new tires on. but the nittos didnt do much.. i need some MT ETstreet radials. and i wish i had the money do do a complete rebuild but what im doing now is breaking the bank. lol well hopefully the lx project will pay off
