Yea it's a cool car for sure.

I think I may know who told him about this site

I can't wait to see how that tunnelwedge tripower runs. I bet it works pretty well.

Killer piece. Is it relatively easy to tune?

Manifold will run 3x600 cfm throttle bodies with a progressive linkage . I have been told that on the 440 mopars that F&B have fitted this system too that they are very drivable .With the centre throttle body bringing in the torque earlier .As far as tuning it i hope the XFI FAST will bring this engine to life . Trans is a TKO 600 with 3.5 diff gears . As far as the Tunnel wedge manifold there were concerns with air speed but since it is fuel injected it should work OK. As you can see it has a large plenum what do you guys think .Car should have some under bonnet appeal with Cobra Lemans valve covers ,and a polished oval aircleaner when it all comes together i will post more photos .

Of course I love the car but I'm an FE Ford guy. Of course I don't know how anybody couldn't like the early Mustangs.

That TW would work fine even with carbs. The FAST system should make it very drivable as long as you know how to tune with it.

What are you going to run for wheels and tires?

Which TKO do you have the .82 or .64 5th gear. If you haven't bought the TKO yet I'd think hard about which one to buy. I'd say the .82 5th makes more sense. The one comment I'd make is with the OD 5th I'd go for a deeper rear gear unless you are running a really short rear tire.
