Default termi engine+92 fox=this!

Well after 4 years, i finally have my projected finished (besides a few cleaning up things i have to take care of) i posted over in the 5.0 section, but since it is a 4.6 i thought you guys would be interested as well!
This project has so much time and effort i dont think i will ever sell the car. Everything (except the rearend), was assembled and done in my garage, mainly by myself with a few key friends and dad for moral support, and help! great learning experiance for me.
Its a 4.6 2004 cobra engine, run off of a ron francis "detail zone" wiring harness. Body harnes is all seperate.
Car has a TH400 built in Indiana, reverse manual valve body with trans brake, and an un known converter (still trying to get a hold of the guy who made it)
Rear end has 31 spline axles with 3.55 gears a spool, c clip elimin.
Suspension is mainly Team z and Strange, with coil overs in all 4 corners
Fluidine provided all the coiling tanks and radiator/heat exchanger.
fuil system is a glenns high performance twin 255 walbro kit rated at 1000hp with the sumpt tank.
Interior is all custom starting with a wolf craft 10 point chromoly cage that had the kirkey seat brackets added to it. The back half was cut out for the instalation of the mini tubs (after cage was in) and a bulk head (which i cut and modified to fit around the new back bars that i cut/nothced myself.

this is how the car started off life about 7 years ago when i purchased it as a DD for high school! bone stock at the time with just flow master 40S lol


now the car after 7 years!




















Testing the line lock/a short cruise






My buddies (i believe 91) twin turbo Z

thanks man, Yeah i pretty much new very basic stuff when i started this. Previous projects included AOD to TKO600, suspension, cam, sc install, a little ignition... that was about it.
Here is a short vid i made a month ago (before tubs were welded in) of the line lock test
