You're making some good progress now, and nice work on your new differential. What are you planning to install for power?

Keep the posts and pics coming.

302 Hi Pro

Thanks! Looking to have the car in race spec by February, I go to school during the week so that delays the process alot.

As for power, Just a good old coyote with a Boss intake and Headers. 430 Hp should be plenty for right now.

Looking good! I forgot about the "no ABS" deal on the V6 models.

Are you planning to keep that as-is or swap in an ABS unit from a GT or GT500?

Sadly Not many updates since school has been kicking my ass :/

But we have gotten our biggest sponsor to date, Cant wait to get thier parts!

Got the headers, Look Sweet! Hopefully Sound as good



And Got the tail lights figured out!

 

[ArizonaBOSS]

Sweet! Gonna get those headers coated before they go on? Who makes them?

They are Stainless Works, So they are stainless so they wont rust, Probably gonna leave them for now worst case can coat them later.

School has been kicking my ass but finals are next week and should be able to get a decent chunk of this build done.
Also these showed up a few weeks ago!

Finally able to get back to working on the car, Started to pull the interior in prep for the cage which it goes to get on Sunday.





Then it was to pulling out that V6-












Finished off the night with starting on the oil pump gear install-

Got the cage all welded up and ready for paint-

 

[ArizonaBOSS]

The cage looks stout! The car is going to look great once it gets back from paint.

I see from your pictures that you have the good 2013+ VCT solenoids and pigtails, too!

Who did the metal work on the cage. They did a nice job!
Also what color will you be painting it?

I was able to do one of the fun parts of the build in my opinion, Putting on the 2013 Front end onto the 2005!
also get to see a sneak peek of the color All the parts came from my 2013 Street car which is pretty funny.

All I have to do is make some custom mounts for the Front bumper and we should be good!

Sweet! I love DIB.

You might consider getting the FPRP bumper beam while you're at it: http://rehagenracingproducts.com/2005-2014-MUSTANG-LIGHTWEIGHT-TUBULAR-FRONT-BUMPER-M-17757-MB.htm

And if you are doing a 2013 rear, you can get the rear beam too: http://shop.watsonracing.com/Road-Race-Tubular-Rear-Bumper-for-Mustang-p/wr-rrrearbumper.htm
