whats that big black thing in front of the blower in the final pic?

Thats the intake. That's the way they are designed. I'm probably going to change it up later but I'm going to use it that way for now.

Good choice with the 3v definitely a strong engine stock with plenty of possibilities.

Thanks. Trust me when I started this I had no idea of the coyote motor but i am still very excited about the 3valve. I wouldn't change it over anyways.

The D3V

It's been a long time looking forward to getting her back on the road.

decided to delete my side skirts and vents
when I had the side skirts off it looked like a more even flow from bumper to bumper

deleted the gas cap

started to run the intercooler piping, still undecided on weather I want to go with the mass before or after the blower. never been supercharged before all new to me. just need to do some more research.

Mustang Mark · Feb 23, 2014

Car looks good, very clean without the skirts and the shaved side scoops.

Badass build, really clean! Good job man

Mustang Mark · Mar 12, 2014

That looks awesome! The horizontal tails go great with the window louvers.

No I don't have a build thread :/ gonna start after my sons surgery and recovery.

I'm going with a built 4r with Len tech trans brake. I'm not going beyond anything the 4r cant handle just going to keep it simple.

I was a paycheck away from sending my head to get ported by mmr but I have yet to find good reviews on anyone except rgr and 4k is out of budget. I have an extra 1200 in my budget now.

Cams will be bbr stage 2 blower cams and next year an f1a.

Short block should be done in may. Hoping to crank in august and final touches and tune sept.

Nice thats funny that the same setup I want when I am all done, this is a budget build but once it starts rolling around again i want to start slowly upgrading up to that point. F1A is what i wanted just way out of my budget, hope things go well with your Son. Just had my daughter on February 18, i wanted to post a pic of her with the car because she was wearing a mustang shirt LOL. I already have an extra set of 3v heads and a aluminator block on stand by, just in case she blows, I have reserves.

Cant wait to see how yours come along.

D3VST8R96GT · Apr 9, 2014

Mines a semi budget build.... I have another build going on that has priority.

Congrats on the daughter!!!! Kids are awesome! Wait till 3 months its when they really start responding! My son is almost 5 months.

Thanks a lot, its my first and she's a trip. I know I say I Cant wait for her to get older but when she does im gonna wish she was younger again lol. I know what you mean about projects, it fun but sux to have a hobby like this. So many things you wanna do and your cash can only be spread so thin, My 1970 Maverick is on the back burner along with my 1981 F100 step side. Just Got rid of my Torino and my gsx 1000 and My 95 gt with the 2valve swap.
