Resto of my 91 LX 5.0...


I'm gonna try to attach pics of my resto in progress. I recently sustained hail damage, so I got a paint job before I was able to make pics. It was originally the burgundy that came on the Stang...Paint was actually good! The interior is in rather good condition...all original for now. I have added the Cobra R hood, GT Ground Effects (to be different) and Saleen tail and painted it Lazer Red( Just loved that facory Ford color). So far, I have changed the car from AOD to T-5, Will probably go w T56 after adding the supercharger next year, Went from 3:08 ratio to 3:55 ( it is a daily driver to and fro work 15 mi every day). I have added BBK cold air intake, Hedman Headers(Hedders, as they spell it), Tuned H-Pipe w/ 3" pipes and dual chamber Fowmasters(Took out the Caddies, too) and added a phenolic spacer to the OEM intake( it actually helped a good bit!) Oh, removed the OEM fan and made it Thermostat controlled electric with 160F thermostat and advanced the timing to 12 degrees base( HAve to run Octane booster at this level)... in about 4 wks, gonna do a complete engine overhaul..going to a 331 w Trickflow stage 1 cam, 170cc Twisted Wedge heads, Roller rockers, TW street intake, 30lb injectors, tuned MAF sensor, 75mm TB & EGR plate( gonna try and bypass all the EGR, but got it just in case emissions control finally makes it to this podunk area) and gonna change the exhaust to Borla after the rebuild. I have a Virtual engine dyno program....dunno how accurate it is, but it has been pretty close in the past on a S-10 I made into a monster, it says I'll be at 448hp and 470 Ft/lbs tq...that seems a bit steep to me..that is Crankshaft HP, not RWHP... This time next year, I hope to have added wither Procharger or Paxton Supercharger...have not decided on what brand or trim yet.(If you have suggestions on this, Shoot'em this way!)...I hope to have a fun little ride when all is said and done....Plus, I want to take my bros 2002 Z28 to the celaners and hag;em out to dry!!! Well, if the pics dont come up, let me know and I'll try to get them up, somehow!!!

If you huys have any more suggestions, Shoot'em this way! I've always had Chevys and I'm kinda new to the Ford frame of mind!
