My build is pretty much done. Here is a picture progress follow along. I purchased the car 4 years ago in NC. It was bone stock and had been dealer maintained its entire life. It has leather, mach 460, and an AODE.
-First thing to be changed with no pictures of course was the intake, I dropped in a K&N into the factory box and swapped to an explorer intake. I also at that time changed all the fluids in the car, trans filter, new brakes, etc.
-Next was to change from the 16" GT rims to a set of 98 GT split spoke 17" I picked up for $50 with tires from a friend. I also picked up a SLP catback and installed it as well.
Next on the list was an off road H pipe. After that I enjoyed the car for a couple years before doing anything else.
Fast forward to 2010. I got called up for my 3rd tour to Afghanistan so the car got put back into storage at my great uncles farm. Just before taking it there I got a good deal on a SVO Motorsports upper intake and installed it.
Once back set aside 3k to do work to the car. First off was heading out to the barn and getting it running to make sure nothing had failed over the last year.

After putting a few miles on it the fun began.
New Engine
New engine put into car.
New engines combo is.
GT40 heads, GT40 lower intake, SVO motorsport upper intake, FMS F cam, trickflow spring kit, flowtech headers, smog delete, egr delete, etc. VIDEO Below
Next on my list was rims, I found a set of 03 cobra rims. 17x10.5 in back and 17x9 up front with Nitto 555 tires. 315/35/17 back, 275/40/17 front.
Things started to really roll along now, I had some money left over and found a great deal on a Kenne Bell supercharger, showed up to buy it and got a PMAS 92mm maf, WMS ceramic coated CAI, filter, FMU, 70mm tbody, extra 10lb pulley and literally everything else a guy could want. I swapped the KB intake elbow for my Trickflow elbow that was much larger internally for a little extra flow.
After that I decided to get a tuner, so on went a quarterhorse
After that I decided to up my injectors and crank the boost, there are no meaningful pictures but I dropped in a set of 03 cobra 39.5 lb injectors, angled them so the spray patterns would be somewhat beneficial instead of spraying the port walls. I also put on the 10 lb pulley in place of the 8lb pulley. At this point the police were harassing me about the cars exhaust so out went the resonators and I had a set of dynomax super turbo mufflers welded up, keeping the rest of the slp catback(I like the tails). Also a set of smoked cobra headlights from LMR were installed.

That brings us to the present. Next up will be a set of Eibach lowering springs and cc plates. I also have had a T5 swap sitting around for the last couple years but its nice to keep the Auto and control it with the Quarterhorse.
