1995 5.0 Convertible

[Peter Plowman]

1995 Mustang GT Convertible AODE(this is my third time attempting to post this, also photobucket wants 400 bucks a year to work)
BBK Shorties, Pypes 2.5" off road the rest of the way back
3.73 8.8" from a 96 Cobra (this one was originally a V6 which the PO originally didn't let on, add to that a 7.5" originally)
Eibach Prolines, Steeda X2 balljoints, Steeda bump steer kit
Some other goodies and a disproportionate amount of work to get this lemony car sorted out.
Anyway I'm almost finished with sorting this car out but it's a dog where I live here at 7700 ft, (11.15psia) it's got about the same power as a v6 at sea level.
The new stuff: Trick flow twisted wedge 170 cylinder heads, Scat cast crank and connecting rods (for a 347 build), Autotec trick flow pistions (the website says 5cc, but the box says 3.8cc), 340lph fuel pump, 36 lb-hr injectors, and a 2600 rpm stall torque converter. I would add some pictures but this photobucket image hosting thing is taking away from my time to work on the car, as is the automatic log out that my browser does, also writing this is keeping me away from the car.

Get tapatalk for your phone and then you can send pics straight from your phone and update while your actually working on the car.

A couple of pictures. . . This car was a white one, then the PO wanted it black with red, and now I want it white again. . . But it's kind of boring to drive which is why it's getting some attention there. I'm waiting on the camshaft to arrive at TRE Performance, at which point they'll send me the rest of the items to put this head set together (I'm getting springs, locks, retainers, cups, rockers, studs, gaskets, and head studs sent over from them). And in the mean time I'm polishing the intake and exhaust ports, and removing pieces and parts off the block to get it ready for removal. I've also got a used GT40 upper and lower that I'll be using in here. Prior to this point I was working on making the car reliable.

Loosened the old header studs, it's impossible to pull the head bolts out with them in place.

I found a few remnants of leak stopper which was left over from before my time with the car. . . I cleaned out most of the stuff that was easy to get to about 2 years ago, and then my heater core turned my car into a sweet smelling sauna about 7 months ago, and shortly thereafter my radiator sprung a leak. They've been replaced.

It started to drizzle a little so I went inside to flake out all the wiring for this dual band O2 sensor, comes with the DLG-1 gauge and an LC2 controller.

Quick shot of the formerly crusty white tensioner pulley.

Nice!!!!!!

I always had a soft spot for white with red interior myself as it's one combination you rarely see

Thanks man, I'll be working on getting the black back to red since I've found a red looks good (I did the black in 2014 because the red kept coming out looking like grapefruit).
