Hey all just got an 87 mustang gt t-top. Car is in rough shape and a wiring nightmare its also leaking oil so it's a ton of fun, but this thing pulls ... hard. The previous owner had a list of mods including: short shifter from summit, b303 cam, intake, headers, off road h pipe, full exhaust, rebuilt 302 and rebuilt t5, he also had e fans and a tach that were wired to switches and contributed to the wiring problem (that and the tach signal wire was horribly wrong) anyway I'll post some pics after I upload them look forward to learning a lot here.

Yeah, it's my daily also so it should be moving fairly quickly, I fixed a bunch of wiring today and the valve covers and gaskets come in tomorrow, think im going to start a build thread, with a bit of work this heap will become a decent pile

Thanks I started the valve covers and gaskets going to port the intake mani to match the gasket and port the throttle body a bit for smoother flow
