Mystichrome is up there too with my favorites, and I will forever be partial to the Oxford White.

UPDATE ON THE 4.2!!!!

Block's in the mail, on its way to the house.
Picked up an engine stand so I can get to work right as soon as it arrives
Now all I have to do is order my gaskets and bearings (I've decided to recondition the block when it arrives)
Oil pan is on it's way from Ford (cost $136 F***ers!)
Heads are completely reconditioned with new valve stem seals and valves were lapped

Couldn't be more stoked...

Hey how far off are the GT gauge clusters to the V6 ones? I LOVE the Simco gauges but they only do GT overlays not V6 ....

I don't think it's anything you couldn't fix by getting them recalibrated by a shop or Ford dealership

And yes, Hopefully I'll have her on the road in a couple weeks and broken in before the white stuff hits. This is the only car I have at the moment, but I'm eyeballing a local 1989 Sierra 4x4 for under a grand. I'd rather put the 500 dollar snow tires I bought to use though... Going to keep them on the stock wheels and hopefully by the time March rolls around I'll have a set of 18x9 (18x10.5 rear) Hypercoated GT-4's from AM. Once this engine is in and I pick up a set of wheels I'll work on some bigger brakes. I need some more stopping power before I finish piecing together my M112 kit

I understang it can be recalibrated but I am just interested in the speed diff between the two. Also, what do they recalibrate? I have a mechanicaly driven gears so...

Right on the star! Oh and I forgot about the gears =\ Look into one of those double-din touchscreen tyes that have all the digital gauges
