I am definitely on the same page all rust is gone on my fine just need to put the trunk area together. Im currently doing all new brake lines etc and yes it truly is awesome!

 

for the start was wondering ... where are the additional holes for the shelby drop? Found them in the later pictures though.
I had that rpm cam running for a while until i flattened a lobe or two (probably since I had it). Liked it a lot with the rest of the combo (heads/intake etc). was very 'forgiving' at bottom end compared to the the XE268H. very streetable

 

Woohoo! Glad to hear it!

Have you thought about a new rear end as well? Or changing the gear ratio? Speaking of, what is the current ratio?

 

I'm probably missing something, but . . .

Why would the tranny choice have any particular rear end requirement? Drive shafts can be shortened and different U-joints installed (even so-called "conversion U-joints") that should make most any combination come together.

Kinda like the tail wagging the dog. LOL If I put a T5 in there I may as well change the rear, which is a 3.0 to something like a 3.55.
If I pop the toploader in there I most likely just keep the 3.0 in there for now.

 

What do you think of the Performer heads?
Yep I failed to mention the Shelby drop. I bought the template and drill bit from Daze. Went without event so it was kinda like why mention it. LOL

 

Man your really making up for lost time with that new garage. Great work!

 

Yeaah you are kickin butt! Keep it up!

 

Got the brakes on, but not plumbed. Having done this conversion to my 66, this was way easier.

 

Where'd you get the shelby kit from?
