I know bro - I liked his post though and thought it was clever.

Anyone who knows me knows I have a love/hate relationship with this car and have said it many times and will say it again...

Consactly. Nothing cheaper to make stupid power out of than a SBC/BBC. Wait, my fanboy is showing. Must hide....

LOL - do you even know who I am outside of the forums?

I'm STILL (5 years) getting flack from my whole family for buying and building this car...lol

BTW: We finished 3rd in the world in this (only our second season) in TAFC and 1st in Division 7 after taking the the win at the winternationals in our MONTE CARLO TOP ALCOHOL FUNNY CAR which is, of course, powered by something other than a Ford - we are looking to conquer the Might Manzo next year...

I am a little familiar with making power outside of a ford...lol

Nah Dave, being realistic, this thing ain't going on no 100+ mile cruises...lol What I did was use a steel, thick, tight mesh screen and v-banded them over the turbos.

Nice build man that's a stout Stang haha. I know how you feel about Ford vs. Chevy. I always said if I was going to build up an import again I wouldn't have built a Subaru... I would have built an EVO instead :P

modaddict, I know exactly how you feel. If I was ever going to build a car to go fast I'd start with a 3rd gen T/A and build a SBC for half the price of a SBF. I'm just a sucker for mustangs though.
