94 Mustang Build-up
- Thread starter 94Gt5.0
- Start date
Thanks :beer: Didn't even realize till the other day, but its been down for 4yrs now! Time flys man..
Back from the dead...kinda :lol:. Sold the old motor setup out of it this week and looking to start building the new setup bit by bit. Probably not going the Coyote route just out of ease and money-wise, tossing up between a Dart 363, or a built 351W variation(357, 408, 418). Having a tough time deciding which one to do, either or SHOULD be a mid-low 10 second N/A combo once done.
Was looking very nice! Winter coming up, time for more projects. Your making me want to tear into my 95 5.0 and do the same, I had planned to go with the 351W. I was waiting for the car to give me a reason to tear it apart, but those 302s are solid. Good luck, looking forward to seeing the updates:beer:
I want to do the same thing in my engine bay! I guess I need to find a daily!
That's an awesome job.
Amazing how quick another 2yrs goes by.. started working on this again after a long hiatus! Car is stripped down more than its ever been, motor, trans, front clip, fuel system, ripped out every inch of wiring/interior etc.
Finally decided on the direction I'm going with it, and going to do a 408-445ci Windsor all motor build. High compression, big heads, E85 carb/fuel system etc. Goal is to get it into the 9's with a trap speed of at least 130mph, would like to be in the 135+ range though. Gonna be ordering a behind bars race cars 18G sumped fuel tank, Magnafuel pump and all the accessories soon. Trying to get this thing all sorted and out by spring time!

Making some big moves on the car for the first time in a long time! Motor is currently being built over at Holcomb, doing a 408W, 225 Highports, 13:1CR set up on e85. Ordered up a set of Alumastar 2.0's last night, got a Dynamic C4 trans a couple weeks back, and have a BBR TIG welded 18G fuel tank on the way.
Excited to finally be able to have the time to work on this again, and hoping to have it out in the next couple months! Still shooting for a high 9second N/A pass once it's all sorted.

Very cool, keep up the good work. Don't let another year go by!
Looks nice. Been watching this thread like a hawk. Trying to decide what engine for 94 GT. Just moved to a place with no smog, so it is open season for me.
Keep it going. Curious how this engine combo works for you. Install problems, etc

I'm motivated now with the amount of cash going out!!
Thanks man! Shouldn't be too many hiccups hopefully, going to be very bare bones and aside from the custom headers everything is really bolt-in. Speaking of, ordering some stainless works 2" primary- 3.5" collectors headers this week!
Well, as always stuff doesn't go as planned. My "3 week 408 longblock build" went on for 7 weeks and the shortblock wasn't even assembled. Soo, snagged this mild 306 for a deal and a half just to get it up and running. Plans are to mock up a blow-through turbo setup.
Went through the motor upon arrival, and powdercoated a few items and slapped it all back together. Threw it in the bay for mockup, looks weird to have an engine in it again lol.
