Here is a side photo of the engine -

Interior restoration to begin right away... I'll post some exterior shots (the paint is a 7 on a 10 scale). Since it will be a frequent driver, I decided to put my money in the engine and interior. This will be no garage queen!

Soaring - fortunately almost all of the "shiny ****" does make the car go faster. Much faster.

I'm flattered that you love its looks!

 

well if you want my opinion, im not a huge chrome fan, i wouldve gone with satin finish, but neverthe less youd spank me in a race, so it works however, my only real dislike is the red/black valve covers with the blue block, maybe a red block (maybe too chevy for you i dunno if you care or not) and it would be lookin mean! great ride anyway man, tell the shop dudes they doin a great job!

 

You are obviously completely out of my league. You are a restomod nut, and I am a leave it as an original man. I know virtually nothing about how to hook up a paxton super charger, and really don't want to know. I hope you enjoy your restomod.

 

I like it..I'm doing the same thing right now with a Vortec V1 S Trim on a 351. I like the intake. What type carb are you using?

 

Glad to see, as I had suspected, the front accessories have hidden that bright blue block rather well. I'm not crazy about chromed out look of the thing, but it is going to be a wicked power ride nonetheless.

 

I had reservations about the red and black covers with the blue motor too, not anymore. That is a beautiful engine, no doubt about it. I love the chrome, colors, wires, hoses, well I love it all. Nice job. It isn't an original rebuild persay, but it is one of the most original configurations I have seen. Sweet!

 

Amazingly clean setup, nice bling!

 

Intreestingly, there is almost very littlechrome left in the engine. It is all stainless steel or polished aluminum. The radiator and shroud will be a significant visual addition. I am very curious as to how it turns out. I'll post pictures of the final setup in a few days or so.

Thanks for you nice comments - yes, I've used much of my saving to swing this but more important I really wanted to end up with somehtiong special - not cheesy!

I will relay all you feedback to the Mustang shop here in LA. The have been around a long, long time and have never done anything quite like this.

 

i'm lost, what does 100 horses mean?
