When I get around to it...basically a similar setup I had in a previous car...LQ9 shortblock, LS3 Heads, LS9 Cam/Head Gasket(just with a Borg Warner 'hair dryer' attached to it.)

That 3valve of yours is making Great power on just 8lbs...any plans to get a forged shortblock in there?

 

Welcome aboard dude, I've got a Mustang myself:



Blue's the fastest color

 

Wow dude that's sick! Definitely post up a build thread, I'd love to see it.

Yea it's making a surprising amount. I was definitely happy. To be honest with you, I have been thinking about doing a little more suspension (front lower controls, front end braces, etc.) and maybe a little more boost. But thats it for now. If the motor ever fails me, or I run into some extra cash, I've thought about throwing the Mod 5.0 in built with the Kenne Bell mammoth. My main goal is to always keep her as a sleeper and those 5.0s make some crazy power!

 

Thanks! Nice stang! Thought about doing the tail lights black but I want to keep her sneaky and my rims aren't black so it won't look as good as yours. And indeed it is the fastest color

 

Yeah, I've gathered about 50% of the stuff I need, but I'm taking it VERY slow this time...gonna focus on the good ol' 'priorities' first haha

Funny you mentioned the 5.0 build....my 'original' plan for my GT was to do (an extremely expensive) setup using the Ford BOSS 5.0 shortblock from DSS and trickflow heads. In short...GM powerplant setups can be had for Much cheaper and are more up my alley lol

Def hook the suspension up! everything that was wrong with the New Edge suspension wise...was FIXED on the S197's lol. Go crazy and slap a built Boss setup under those heads and Let Her EAT! hehe

Oh and Torch Red is the fastest color! *even when Stock, Slow, and Dirty!* lol

 

Yea I'm gonna stick to wrapping all that up first and then look to possibilities of a new power plant. I can't wait to see how yours out. Yea the Boss is what I was thinking about doing. I've also thought about just doing beadwork on my 4.6 with cams and a little more boost first too. Idk. So many options haha

 

I'll have a link to a picture thread later when I get on my computer. Out doing a little mini photoshoot now
