Stripes look great, just need some black rims to tie it all together.

^ I do the same as Luxstang. My speedo doesn't work so I just use my phone reflecting off the windshield.

Although I think you should consider JW Speaker or Sealed7 headlights for it. Keep with the black look. I do believe some come with halos now also.

At work they block certain images, and for some reason yours never get through. Then on days off I'm rarely near a computer. So every time I see a new post at work I am always curious how it looks. It has been a while since I got to see your images. When I seen the paint and graphics on your...

Made some serious progress last night. Spent the better part of yesterday morning getting the heads assembled.  My cam showed up yesterday afternoon so last night from 8pm to midnight we swapped out cams, mounted the new heads and got the valve train together.  I have to admit I'm pretty darn...

I didnt install an in tank pump but on youtube check out Autoedit and his mustang build. In one of his more recent videos he cut the top of the tank and installed a pump. Made it look quite easy.

Intake, Headers and a more aggressive cam will net you a lot of power. These engines (especially the 4v) like to rev. One word of caution though is the stock 2 piece valves are known to fail and can wipe out an engine. So I would also highly recommend upgrading to stainless one piece valves.

Just found this thread. Sorry to see the accident, but thankfully not much damaged. I had been thinking of painting my bumpers black, it turned out very well on your car. Looks good!

Decided to grab the weiand intake I had bought in the summer for a coat of paint. Just need to decide if I’m willing to take apart the FiTech to paint it black or keep it silverish.

New heads look awesome though. Can’t wait to get these bolted on.

The good news on the old heads is it did have stainless one piece valves. The bad news was no bronze guides and this isn’t the only crack I’ve found.

Yes it does. And yes the .060 does concern me a little. I’m going to pay attention to my coolant and start building a short block next winter. Run it as it is this year. With our conversations I’m going to go back with the 284hr since compression isn’t as much of an issue.

Tore down the engine today to get ready for the new heads. Was disappointed to find dished pistons. But on the plus side I can run this cam for a year and upgrade next year.

Another option is to consider going EFI at this point. Its not a ton more than a carb. $800 for the 400hp unit and then add on another $200-300 for fuel pump and fuel lines. Its an easy swap as you can use the existing hard line and then use the fuel tank vent as the return line. Food for thought.

That is definitely part of my consideration. Ive played with that calculator a little. I’ve gotten a ton of photos of opened up CC’s so worst case I’ll do some grinding. But I’m definitely going to run flat top pistons.

I’m thinking either going to the 284hr or 290hr from the 270hr. I’m just worried about the amount of spring pressure for the screw in studs. The 284hr has the same amount of lift as the 270hr so I know that’s safe. The 290 is a little taller and if I calculated spring pressure correctly will...

Started the build of the Aussie heads. Dropped them off at the machine shop. The owner was pretty pumped about them asking me where I got them. Said he has only worked on 4 pairs in his 30 years of owning the shop. It’s a little pricey, but still cheaper than getting aluminum head and up here...

Looking forward to the updates!

Great build so far. Looks awesome!

I can barely hear my pump when I turn the ignition to on let alone while driving.
