It's not too late to get a new rear bumper cover and do your exhaust with turndowns THE RIGHT WAY.

They make an EFI ari gap intake?

Also why did you buy a new timing cover? Was yours cracked or something? Thats a hell of a lot of money to pay for one. I have one laying around that I would have sold you for $30

How did you pick your camshaft?

No tail pipes on a gt unless your rocking a cobra bumper.

Carb = gross. No need for a stock car.

The cobra body on the 88 not so good looking.. I would like no tail pipes but when i bought car last owner cut out holes already so i decided to keep it for now until i change the bumper. I didn't want to waste money on that since i changed the whole engine.

The Novice · May 26th, 2011, 05:13 PM

Nice! looking good what's the carb make and CFM? looking good though! Keep it up!

btw for the quarter windows what did you use to sand them? Mine are all dry rotted and cant even take them out b/c i have a t-top and they are rivited in so thinking of just doing the same thing and repainting them black.

ggreene · May 26th, 2011, 10:38 PM

Great looking car. There is no way I would have took that stock of a car and threw a carb on it. I wish all the wiring in my car wasnt so jacked up so I could have kept it efi. Would love to find a stock GT in good shape like that. I would leave it that way and throw some boost on it!

What all did you do to the engine? I seen you put changed whole engine, but I only saw where you listed intake, and cam. Just wondering if I was missing a few steps.

Stang302 · June 5th, 2011, 09:19 AM

Motor is complete, I will have video posted soon as well as a COMPLETE list of all modifications done to car.
