    Another Blow-thru Mustang in the works here! :D Yea yea I know! I picked up an 89 coupe for $100 :eek: I set a goal of 30 days to transform a stock 4cyl to a blow-thru beast! Two weeks in we're looking good! Chassis is done(backhalved on 33x10.5w's, 25.5 cage)! Motor was just dropped in! I'm still hopin' to make it in 30 days! This week is trans, turbo plumbing, radiator, wiring, sheet metal(tubs,floor trans tunnel,etc!)
    Wish me luck! Pics won't be posted until day 30 so I don't curse my plan :bah:

    Before and After!

    Yes the sbc is in it! :D Funny you ask that? I'm building this on a "Dare"! A couple guys at the track were talking about mustangs and I said, "anybody can throw one together" so they told me if it's so easy then do it!! So here we go! :stupid:
    If it don't go 7's, I'm drivin' down to see you and we'll do one of those "DIFFERENT" carbs! :D :D :2thumbs:
