^ Thanks bud. I'll be around for sure. I'm the only black convertible with a white top that I've seen so I'm kinda hard to miss. :D Todd, header are all set whenever you are. I got to work tomorrow and Friday but I'm off this weekend. Let me know when you want to stop and I'll PM you my...

It was a while ago but from researching my PI swap I believe the only difference in the valve covers are the # of bolts. So that's all you'll need for those. The gaskets sound right. You'll need valve cover gaskets and head bolts too, they can't be reused. You might need an intake gasket if it...

Do you know what cams are in the heads you got? You will see most of your hp gain from the cams. I don't think that I gained much hp (yet) from the porting on the heads I bought. I think it's because of running the stock PI cams. As far as degreeing them, you can get crank gears but they...

BUSTED :whipping: From my PI swap. Well you are familiar with the dustbowl known as Queensbury that I live in so ... see above.:smash: :D

How she looks now. Got the motor crane tonight. After the motor's out it's straight to the suspension. :headbang:

No pics yet Todd, I'll see about getting some tonight. SFC's are done. Ran out of welding wire the other day so that set me back a day. Top of the engine is striped from the intake to the front bumper support. Only thing there is the heads and block. Still waiting on the motor crane. with...

Small update. Shortblock is at my house. I haven't opened the pallet yet so no pics. Got both SFC's tacked and 3/4 welded up today. I'll finish them tomorrow then get the motor all prepped to be pulled. Hopefully my buddies motor crane and engine stand will be available to me next week...

Ryan, how's life treating ya out there. Definitely come out for a track day this year. I can always shoot the video's if they won't let me run the 1/8th.

I'm hoping to work one in before fall but I've already threw a ton of money into it this year ... http://www.newyorkmustangs.com/forums/build-begins-t32703.html. Still got to keep the other half happy too. I'll accept sponserships. Got room on the side of the SFC's for logos/signage. :D

Only if I get a 6pt cage in this year. Not sure if they'd let me run the 1/8th. Fu_kin' convertible. :nono: :D

I got another phone call from MMR today. My shortblock is done and they were confirming that I wanted to pick it up at UPS's local hub. I have no way of taking delivery off a semi at my house. Oh, and UPS in Queensbury doesn't handle "truck freight". That comes from the Albany hub so I'll be...

A handheld tuner, in my case a SCT SF3, get's locked/married to a car's VIN. When you connect an unlocked handheld to your car the 1st thing it wants you to do is download the stock file/tune to it. This locks the handheld to that car. Now the actual tuner/person that writes the custom tune...

For the time being I'm still running stock rear springs. I'll be cutting them enough to drop about 1.5" in height. Once I'm done getting everything buttoned up and running I'll start looking for rear springs. Still to much left to buy now. Plus I'll be hampered with the fact that I'll only...

Wow Chief, that made my brain hurt. :) When I was looking into spring rates for my UPR coilovers I come across articles about knowing the weight at each corner of the car. Then matching front rates with rear rates in relation to corner weights, ect. Along with stuff like you're talking...

^ Yeah there's nothing fun about playing with frozen wrenches and ice cold nuts & bolts. I was actually looking at salamander heaters today. A 75K BTU for $179 seems like a better deal then renting. Problem is I just spent $350 on a mig 2 weeks ago because my buddies got ran over in his...

Just thought I stop in with no news. :( February + unheated garage = no workie on car. :thumbsdown: I got it sitting on blocks on each corner getting ready to weld my MM sfc's on. Just too damn cold. Maybe this weekend I can get them welded and finally start getting the motor and trans...

Re: Lebanon Valley Dragway --2013 Schedule Test & Tune-- Sure I see how you are. Tease us with racing and make us jones for warmer weather even more then we are already.:smash: Unless they let me just run the 1/8mi, which would suck anyways, I'll need a 6pt cage before they let me run again.

Well I got an email yesterday on the final piece to the puzzle. :awesomework: :Pickle::Pickle::fruit::Pickle::Pickle:
