Friends Stang

[fvike]

First off, great looking cars.
I've got my car fully equipped with the stuff from Total Control Products that FreddieCougar is pushing. Have your friend look into that. Along with big brakes, and a Hydraboost, it's like driving a modern car in terms of handling and stopping. On an trackday a month ago, I had no problems keeping up with a Nissan Skyline.
I like your TT Cleveland idea. A Boss 429 engine won't fit between the standard Mustang shocktowers, the Boss 429 had the towers moved 1" outward on each side to make it fit.

Here's an picture of my car for inspiration...




Have a look on my fquick site for more images.

Very nice! I'll definately make sure he sees this. Actually I think he just joined Lat-g so now he can check a lot more stuff out. I know about moving the inner fenders for the Boss engine. I think Dynacorn is either making or going to make replacement inner fenders just for that purpose. I've heard those engines are not that great for street use, any thoughts? Not to mention, to have a good one built will set him back about $25K!

Thanks! The street Boss 429 was undercammed, and undercarbed. The Boss 302 actually had a bigger carbureator! Because the Boss 429 was designed as an race engine, it needs rpms to, which makes it a hassle on the street. Same goes for the Boss 302. But the Boss 429 is a Hemi, so with the right cam and carb, it should make a lot of power. Just remember that most parts in a Boss 429 is unique to it, so that = expencive.

That's a nice looking mustang. The exterior looks good the way it is! I agree with upgrading to TCP front suspension and rack & pinion, also look at their G-bar rear suspension.

May want to check out JME enterprises pro series suspension system. Looked to be a pretty slick setup.
