First time I've driven the car under it's own power in two years!! Getting really close to having it back on the street!

Great job! Sounds really good and looks really good. What did you do for exhaust? I'm in the middle of the same project, 88 5.0 in my 68 FB. I ended up finding GT40P heads and Ford racing shorty headers.

Thanks!

Cool! I went with a full JBA system......mid-length headers and running O2 sensors. 2.5" pipes all the way back. They are a bit large......probably should have stayed with 2.25" as there are clearances issues with the throttle valve linkage on the transmission.....it works......but not have working with it a lot.

Good luck with it!

Pretty awesome to see, this is a project I want to do in a 64.5-68 whenever I start looking to find one.
