Hmm. That coyote swap isn’t looking so expensive after all.

Coming along!! Boss rods are a great option as well! I passed on a nice teksid block sometime ago from my local pull a apart. Definitely would love to do one some day

yeah i was headed the boss rod route but found the manley's for the same price i would have paid for the boss and they're a bit stronger.

Been spending some cash lately. Spring needs to come so I can get some things put together. I’m going have the oz wheels powdered. Not a fan of them white and it’s a shitty paint by some dumb ass before.

Picked these up on Friday. Really like the color and the way it looks silver at the edges depending on the light. Crystal grey is the Prismatic Powder color used. I have 18x8s and 18x9s.

almost hate to put them on.

Those are sharp!

joe65 · Apr 16, 2021

bought a couple things this week for the build. also really needed a clutch adjustment, so i thought i'd do it right.

joe65 · Apr 26, 2021

Just posting some pics of the car from the weekend. keep them in my build thread.

Venompower · Apr 26, 2021

Car is looking good... My first three Mustangs were new edge, and I will always love them.

Wheels look nice! Like the little snip of the FiST in that last shoot also

looks my short block build is starting to kick into gear. i have all the parts now just need to drop it off at the machine shop. pistons, crank, rods etc. are all ready to go. Oh and i found a nice ported eaton that hasn't been run yet to use.

i am all over the place right now with which power adder i want to go with. I have ON3 turbo on the mind now. I really wanted to go turbo from the start but talked myself out of it thinking i couldn't make it work with emissions here, but i'm changing my mind. Also been looking at the setup for the turbo and its really not as messy as i thought. I'm finding that turbos are typically cheaper to upgrade over a positive displacement setup.

just a pic i found on one of the ON3 forums of a 2v setup.

joemomma · May 5, 2021

Turbo seems to be the ticket for "bigger" power cheaper than a SC, at least from what little research I've done.

I'd have to see a different angle but changing your serpentine belt looks awful lol.

this is true. it is tight between the fan and front of the engine. but at least its in front. lol..i have a turbo VW that has the turbo in back behind the motor below the fire wall. that sucks.

so yeah this project is off to someone else. Made the decision based on what i was going to be putting into the car and realizing it makes more sense in my mind to go to a cobra or mach 1. I'll have a forged shortblock and some good suspension parts to go on one.

Do you have a buyer lined up, or just made the decision to sell? When do you think you'll find the Mach or Cobra?

You going for an NA cobra?

I sold it with in 4 hours of posting it. surprised me. I sold at $6k. the engine had 202k and really needed a transplant or rebuild. That's what made me decide to look for something a little upgraded.

i'm looking all over the place for a New Edge Cobra or Mach 1. Prices are stupid now like everything else. Even just finding something near $10k is tough. I'd prefer a Mach but would also take a clean 99-01 Cobra. I'll be do an eaton swap on whatever i end up with.
