Mine is a daily driver got 310hp at the rear wheels, good in traffic etc, a little heavy on the gas but who cares. I have now put a late model vortech inlet tube on it and move the air cleaner to in front of the supercharger head unit to get some clean air

thanks for the pic's,, we are thinking of going to a elect water pump,, dont know how that plays into the pulley setup , we need a little more room at the front of water pump now cause of elect fan . and we also have power steering so we will have to put it on the pass side and lower the alt down a little ,, but is doable ,, maybe even move the battery to the rear ?? don't know
thanks again for the pics

Battery will have to go in the trunk if you are going passenger side anyhow

A right hand drive Mustang! derwin66, where are you located? I'm assuming that since it is right hand drive it is actually a T5, correct?

i think only those delivered to germany were T5s (as the name 'mustang' was already registered by some tractor manufacturer). might be UK export, or australian export. and since the T5's went to germany, they should be left hand steering like the originals as well
