not at Bandimere lol
hey, what’s it make approximately all motor as is?
You mentioned adding a 125 shot AND a turbo, and only getting to 400 whp?
I definitely have my work cut out with the altitude, but its a super light platform and no limit to the parts I can put on. Just $ which everything is relatively cheap especially coming from the Audi world. the 125 shot is to hold me over until I put together the turbo kit which will be detuned so i dont pop the stock block. Could probably push a little further but why bother? Do it nice or do it twice. As it sits I have no clue what its making. Ive only raced a couple other cars so far best representation being 3 cars on a '10 4.6 GT with intake exhaust tune from 40-80. GT40 setup is SUPER mild. The heads will be the first thing to go after the subframe connectors. From a dig, once I stopped spinning wasnt even a race with the 4.6.
You pretty much nailed it already. Super light cars that have a mountain of parts available and extremely easy to work on.
I really want to LS swap mine but we’ll see when the time comes. Id have killed for a notch though, I love my hatch but notches are even lighter. Shouldve pulled the trigger 
There were title issues or “lack of title” and I was really close to our big move from NC to PA so I saw it as a possible headache. I had the same idea as you…street/strip project car, but it was pointless to me if I couldn’t take it out and cruise the streets legally once and a while.
I’ll probably look for a notch in a year or so for a fun side project.
I think you should just find a good 6.0l truck block, throw some pistons and rods in it and slap a turbo on that. Your options of available heads and a cam are unlimited also.
It’s just hard for me to go with anything other than an LS powerplant in a street/strip car.

shot of the engine bay. pretty clean when i bought it, needs a tuck after the new topend is put on.5
Sweet! I have always loved those mustangs and I have almost pulled the trigger on a few of them over the years. The only thing that ever held me back was the fact that I have been a Chevy owner, and jumping ship was hard to swallow lol. Now days though, since I don’t even own my Camaro anymore I have often pondered picking one of these up.
It was tough to jump ship, and I’ve gotten a lot of crap from my family who are all gm diehards, but I couldn’t beat the price for the condition. A comparable fbody would’ve been at least 4-5k more. Its pretty unique around these parts as well so that doesn’t hurt. Once I get it put together I’m sure the performance will make up for any brand loyalty issues
Haha, well I have a new Vortech V2 blower that I can sell you below retail!
They do these engine bays well:

You’ve piqued my interest Jake…
Haha JHM showing their roots. So the V2 will net… what 400 at the wheels? Is that enough for 10s
PM Replied!
the V2 is just like the V3, its just not a self contained oil system like the V3. Blower is rated for 775HP
I was just basing that on a quick internet search of similar cars with that blower… if you say 775 then that’s going to be mayhem!
Yeah! It all depends on pulley sizing and supporting mods too. But it will DEFINITELY make that horse gallop.

Maximum motorsports full length subframe connectors came in Friday. Hopefully I’ll get them welded in this week and I’ll be ready to spray it by the end of the month. A zex 125 shot wet kit should suffice until I get the funds for a new top end and the snail. I’ll be adding on a few extra pieces to the basic kit (window switch, fuel pressure cutoff, and a few other safety measures) for a bigger safety window. Really goes to show how much of a bargain the JHM kit is as I won’t have machined plates or the like on mine but the price will still end up close. Gotta do it nice or do it twice though.
This whole not being able to edit is a pain in my ass. Here are the connectors.

Moar updates
Sorry Beem, snowboarding season consumes all my free time. 408 stroker and forged rotating assembly done and awaiting transplant, still debating a set of TFS high ports or a set of AFRs to top it off and saving funds for the turbo setup. Now that its not a DD considering gutting caging and tubbing it. We’ll see come summer time.
Been a while, I know. Not a big deal since Beem is the only one interested. Decided to forgo the ford shit entirely and LS swap it. I bought a Gen III 5.3 iron block complete for $400 and a built 4L60E for behind it for 1600. heads went to TEA for a stg 2.5 job tick performance stg 2 turbo cam arp hardware gm ls9 head gaskets blah blah blah. pretty typical of most builds. So far Im about halfway through the swap, AJE K member holley dominator standalone efi flex fuel capable on3 turbo setup with Borg s475 snail. Cant post pics as im at work but ill get around to it if there’s any interest.
