My plan is to build up my engine on the advice of fakesnake, rather then throw in a turbo. But my car also needs other minor tweaks. But since there are no guides or any how-to's on anything along those lines. I figured i would document my progress and make how-to guides for people who need them. I know next to nothing about engines and mustangs. But i figured it will help someone, as I will be being helped by my uncle who has had a few mustangs under his belt. What do you guys think, should i do it, or just let people figure it out for themselves.

We are 2 years into our build and I have made website for all of our adventures.
Documenting your work will also help your motivation to keep going because there will be days that you dont want to go into the garage. It helps to see where you have been to keep going forward. Others will also benefit to!
Its a Win Win for everyone!

Definitely at least post your adventure on here. I find my own posts in my build thread as theraputic. When I curse something I screw up, and you will screw up we all do, and am at my wits end, I can go back and review past progress reviving my motivation. Also, it is often the mistakes you make and are man enough to share that are the best learning for others. Things you figure out and ways you approach problems that may seem simple to you, can be real insights to others. Evil Eleanor just posted a shifter he built using an old ball joint as a pivot. I never would have thought of that, but I will next time. Do it, even if it is only for you.
