Holy ****! Good job! Keep us posted! Send an email to FF&MM, I know they do stuff about Mustangs with lots of miles on them that still run with the OEM motor.

LOL! Awesome man! Thats truly amazing!! My old car, a Mazda 626 needed a new tranny, and loads of other parts at 100K!
You must take darn good care of that thing! How the heck did you get 500K on it though?! Lol
