Progress after a year

[mikeiam82]

Just thought id share where im at with my project after 1 year, still lots to do but well on my way. My only saving grace for the body is that i am a bodyman and i cant wait to tear into it. The rest is pretty much done. Just need to run fuel lines, get a tank (or convert mine) get a complete wiring haness and a efi harness. Find some driveshafts and a power brake setup and take my steering linkage to a machinist to modify for f150 knuckles.

Started its life with me when i found it like this. It sat in this position for 14 years under cover, cost me $2000 canadian then i sold the plow for $400. As you can tell by the pics it is not the original body on it now.

Hey Mike,

Nice job so far. What is that engine out of?

 

[mikeiam82]

88 5.0 mustang with a NV3550 trans. The engine is a speed density not mass air setup partially because i cant find a donor car with mass air but whatever its stock anyway with the NV3550. Im going to be running 4.11's with 285/75r16 (33x11.5 aprox) driving mostly pavement so for fuel economy i may have to go to 3.73 but ill have to wait and see when im done.
