Cris..... This is going to be a good one ,can't wait to see whats rolling around in that head of yours..

The tear down of the Mustang has shown that we have a very good soild foundation to work with... Last nite sold the motor & transmission.. I got lots more parts to sell off.. I have been getting PM's on the parts.. I will soon have pricing on parts not being used & let you guys know..




The new motor & transmission showed up today!!

Hahahaa Cris! I knew you'd post that motor pic!

What's it been 20 mins?

Very cool project Cris. I'm looking forward to seeing this build come along!

Are you going to be keeping the Getrag trans?

Matt

[Cris@JCG]

Thanks Matt.. Me too!

We are using the Getrag trans.. Right now this drivetrain is new to me.. I just spent the last 2 hrs looking @ it coming up with a game plan for install.. I figued out that I will have to re-locate the oil filter.. Get the A/C compressor off & get it dimensioned for a Saden 7 compressor.. The power steering pump on engine ..

The good thing is that I have a buddy that is a Ford tuner & knows late model Ford motors inside out.. He is coming over tomorrow..
It will be a fun project with its share of headaches..

Yeah, these new Ford Mustangs all have electric power steering. You might want to get in touch with the guys over at TurnKey. They recently got set up with Ford Racing and are in the process of developing an accessory drive to fit into early Mustangs.

I'd just make it real simple --- go with electric power steering! Matt @ Anvil did that in his Mustang.... To me -- that's TRICK!


Love this build Cris!
