Car up and running again, YEAH!
I got my car running yesterday night (saturday) and drove it over to my friends house. For those of you who don't know i basically replaced most of the bottom end because of oil comtamination and to re-seal the engine as well as replace the timing chain. I also took the opportunity to put on a windage tray, grind down the air injector bumps in the exhaust, put on 1 5/8" headers, 2 1/2 offroad H pipe with Flowtech Stinger exhaust, MSD TFI coil, superconductor wires (already had 6A controller), got rid of smog pump and Air conditioning, replaced the clutch quadrant and cable, put on a Trick Flow street intake with the 70mm TB/Spacer i had and BBK fenderwell intake and 73mm MAF sensor.
I already had 3.55 gears, hurst shifter, etc. Well, I let the clutch break in and gave the engine some babying last night so i could mess around today. MAN! What a difference. The thing HAULS, it's so much fun. As always i'd like it faster but it's to the point now where i don't have as much time to think about what to do while i'm accelerating, especially in the first two gears. MAN! I love owning a 5.0 mustang! Just thought i'd share my joy with everyone! Happy easter!

I'm running stock cam with 1.7 roller rockers. I'm going to be actually building up an engine w/aluminum heads, cam, stroker kit, etc. (the full meal deal) probably starting next year. thanks guys,
I'm in Kansas right now on vacation so i can hardly wait to get back and run it at the track
