Default New from Texas

Hello, my name is Jonathan, I'm 31 & live in Texas. This is my '68 mustang I bought last March, I have been building it in my garage and driving it as a daily while upgrading. It recently made the trip from Houston to Dallas to my new home.

It originally had a rebuilt inline 6 & c4, I got that running again, put in a new radiator, hei distributor, longtubes, new spark plugs & wires, all new suspension front and rear with QA1 Shocks, I completely rewired the car with a painless wiring kit, installed LED taillights, and painted it, all in my garage last year.

I got tired of the inline 6, it had a weird shake at idle and while fun it was slow, so I pulled a 351w from my '57 F100 (I did a crown vic frame swap on that this past February-March that's on the ford truck forum) and dropped that in over a weekend.

I got the 351 in and decided to install edelbrock e street heads, comp magnum pushrods & roller rockers, and ceramic longtubes. It has a holley 625 demon on it & manages to get anywhere between 6 city and 15 highway if I drive with an eggshell under my foot. As of today the car is slowly getting new exterior trim & I'm working on the interior.







I'll include some pictures.
