Again, thanks very much that's a humbling comment on a home built car that's not anywhere near the calibre of most builds on this site.

Thanks man, glad your back and updating yours as well. I think we both completed our cars initial builds around the same time. Only makes sense to update them at the same time too.

And this is just for you Raj, some crappy Blackberry pics of my engine bay completed. I forgot to take some last weekend with my Nikon. I realized I never posted any finished photos of it.

As for the last few questions asked, I think my diff width was around 55" if I remember correctly, and Gav I'm not sure how to get more dish on the front wheels other than changing backspacing and rim half offsets. Or a wider shell? As for my dyno #'s the larger injectors did not net any more power than my original numbers posted from the new motor.

Here's a few pics from the cruise, you may have seen some in Raj's thread already. FYI Raj's car sounds insane, I hope he posts a video soon for you guys to hear.

Doesn't get much better than that! Two awesome 69's. Congrats on the motor #'s---that is impressive, as are the looks of the new motor in the car bro---way to go. You've got to be pumped. Start enjoying it as much as possible now and don't change anything else for awhile.

motor looks great in there. Good idea mounting the steam line to the overflow.

The engine swap looks nice. Looks like you put down some good #s with it too.

Guys sorry have not been on the site alot lately I've been busy with many things and not much time to be on the site. This is one project I've been working on. I may start a thread on it. But it's the garage project at my new house. I ended doing a garage floor coating, garage cabinets and a 4-post lift. There was alot of legwork and other things that had to be done to make it all work and fit but it's finally done. And now I can let u guys know that I welcomed home my other car I'd been storing at my buddies house. It's a 99 30th Anniversary Trans Am, Ive always liked them and found this one. I've already done a host of mods including CNC 243 heads, EPS 222/226 Cam, Kooks LT Headers and True Dual exhaust, LS6 intake, TB, Full suspension, new brakes and clutch. etc etc. It made 425 rwhp and 412 rwtq on the same Mustang dyno my 69 was recently on. Anyways, on to the pics of my SW inspired garage
