Now I can. I just bought one of these.

It shipped out yesterday. :G-Dub:

I've got a TR6060 transmission and clutch from a GT500 with under 100 miles on them to try and bolt up. Hopefully it will all bolt together, ha ha, which would allow me start cutting the transmission and fabbing up a transmission mount. In the meantime I've been cleaning up the firewall, and working on mounting a set of Wilwood pedals.

Thanks Rob. The rear suspension isn't 100 percent in yet. The housing is bolted up to the control arms, watts link and push rods, but I need to cut the car off the cart to install the torque arm, which means I need to put it on the lift, and I figured I would so I can get a couple of things done when it goes on the lift.

Todd, I could never really put a Chevy in a Ford. We both know resale would be atrocious, and the only other reason to do so would be to go fast for cheap. The upfront savings would definitely be lost down the road, and with me behind the wheel the going fast logic is lost as well. It really doesn't make sense from any perspective, really. :lol:

I am looking forward to the mod motor though. It will get bolt ons and possibly a set of cams that have met Ford Racing's 150,000 mile durability standards. It won't be the most powerful engine but I am much more confident that it will be able to take abuse better than the worked over LS engines I've had.

Wait..... What? :lostmarbles:

p.s. I am looking at possibly having the TR6060 gone through to change to a a .50 6th gear so I can cruise on the highway while having 4.10 or 4.30s.

67XR7, I bought the 444hp Boss 302 crate. I was looking into the Boss 302/Cobra Jet based Aluminator XS that is supposed to make 500+ but I didn't want to wait until April for an engine. This way I can pick and choose what parts go on. I'll mostly be running it at small tracks and autocrosses since that is nearby, and I don't want to end up with an engine that works better on a road course with open straights to pull high rpms, or best on a drag strip.

That's a good call. Did the DSE people do that to theirs?

He's been married a while now and he's a closet LS guy. His build will drag out so long he'll be watching TV in a lazy boy by the time it's finished.

The Ford fetish is clearly due to his bromance with you know who....you know, the guy with the boat and cast heads on an aluminum block. :lol: :lol:

Yeah you're right. What was I thinking. Rob is much more like Ellen. That Jodie Foster analogy fits perfectly. For the record, I'm going to have to disagree with Todd. I'm expecting you to finally get your car together, go out, and after many years, win some big competition. I won't be surprised when you give a speech on the podium where you reveal that you switched sides many years ago and have actually been running a Roush Yates engine all this time.

All I remember is more torque, less cubes, smaller cam, less carb, lighter weight, pump gas... HP is just a number.:D
