Since I am done with school for the summer all I do is go to work (I'm a salesman and latmodel tech at Texas Mustang Parts) then go home and work on the mustang. By the way, the I should be finished with the motor by the end of the weekend.

I decided on my carb. Its a Quick Fuel 650cfm Drag carb. Here is a pic of it on the same intake I have.


If someone would move this to the "projects" section I will keep this thread updated as I go along with the build.
