ok another change in plans, just going to take the 5.0 i got an convert it to carb and just put that in, itll be easier to set it up with carb and all, also going to sell the t5 and jsut run a c4 since my cars already set up for an auto, got the 8 inch temporarily bolted in, itll need to be pulled before the cars ready to drive to be rebuilt, or i may just keep my eye out for an 8.8 that i can just weld some new spring perches on and run that for added strength and less weight than a 9 inch, my plans are to get this rebuild kit http://mustangsunlimited.com/itemdy0...atKey=EMUSTANG
and some new 6cyl front springs and a 4 leaf standard eye gt leaf pack out back with new shackles and some traction bars, first is the floor pans, toe boards, and the floor frame supports need to be replaced, then the suspension, then front discs, then get the new motor/tranny in and new ds and either rebuild the 8 inch i picked up or get an 8.8, then interior then ill work on quater panel replacement, and new doors and then fiberglass fenders, hood, bumpers, and deck lid, then it should be about ready to get it ready for paint, THEN ill pull the motor and really build it into the motor i want, tfs tw heads, custom cam, etc
anyway havent got much work done, the interiors completely pulled, the 8 inch is in so it can roll, got some fenders for it, not just need to pull the motor/tranny and then get to work on the floors, etc, ive got a very long list of things that need to be done but i hope to have it driving around town by the end of summer, thats with new suspension and front disc brakes, interior, and stock 302/c4 not much body work done yet or anything like that, that wont be ready probably till next summer for paint and all, anyways sorry for the long post jsut very excited to start really getting some stuff done on it! picked up a set of 4 pony wheels with some decent tires on them just to roll it around, but ehres some pics, not much done on it but slowly ill be gettin some more work done expecially now that im outta school
