Default A Ford V8 from Norway

Hello guys, what's up. My name is Jan Samuelsen, i am 36 years old, and from Norway. I have loved american cars for as long as i can remember, and i envy you guys that have them all around 24/7. There's nothing like waking up to the soung of a well tuned V8 in the morning, right guys ?
Well, i am also into pro-touring, where a car is supposed to go around the corner as well. But my try may not be what you expect, so her we go.
My car started as a 1982 european Ford Granada 2,8 GL, witch has a V6 engine, same as Mustang II, 135 hp and a C3 automatic transmission.
It now has a 351 Windsor small block, with a Crane 222 degree cam, Gt40 alu-heads, Performer intake, Holley 600cfm, and headders followed by dual 2,5' exhaust. Behind it is a AOD overdrive trans, and the original IRS differensial with 3,64:1.
The chassis is modified with lowering springs (4 3/4 inch), and uprated shocks, and all the rubber bushings is replaced with poly bushes.
In the brake department, the original front 10,3 inch vented discs is replaced with 12,8 inch vented discs and 4 piston calliper from a -92 Mercedes 600 SEL.
It runs on 18 inch wheels with 225/40-18 tires and has a custom body kit.
I know this is far from a killer Pro-Touring car, but it's a start. What do you think? Be gentle.
