Going 4.6 DOHC again, using the same Aluminator block, they had to bore it .020 over. Freshly built B heads, stock cams. Should be somewhere in the 9.5 CR range. Stock crank, MMR and APR for most of the rest.
67mm Precision Turbo in a custom low mount kit.
Hoping for a reliable 550rwhp when it's all said and done. I'm still on a stock (rebuilt) t45, don't want to push my luck. I can always turnt it up down the road, after a T56/auto install(?)



I picked up some Dynomax turbo mufflers (they came highly recommended by the turbo crowd) and LMR tailpipes. According to MMs site, the LMR tailpipes should clear the PHB.

It's listed under "features"
Panhard Bar, 1979-98 Mustang


I don't understand why those would be recommended. If you wanted the Dynomax brand, the Ultra Flo or Race Bullet would be a better option, as they are a straight through design.

Thanks guys. Keeping my fingers crossed that all goes well this time around.
I'm heading down Tuesday to drop off some parts, I'll try and get some pics.
Carlo, Tunedprt..I remember you guys. Stampede and Tabres are still around too. I've seen Ciotti on YouTube, but he seems to be into flying drones now.


Yeah I’m still around. Sold the Cobra a few years ago and I have a fox coupe now I’ve been working on. Nothing special. FB groups have all but killed forums though I prefer the forums better.

Times change but it is sad that forums are not what they once were. It's incredible the level of trolling that occurs on the various social media platforms, between people of all ages on even the most inconsequential topics, especially when you consider people don't even have the anonymity of a screen name to hide behind.

Unpopular, old man sounding opinion... social media is destroying the fabric of society. I wish we could go complete scorched earth on all of those applications.

Went to the shop to drop off some parts and snapped a few pics.

Powder coat is back and most of it is installed on the engine. They also have the MMR head cooling mod and oil pan installed as well.

Never thought I'd be so happy to see my car on a lift again.

I have a spot of rust on the driver's side frame rail up front. They are gonna fix it while they are in there cleaning everything up.

The rest looks pretty clean up in the engine bay.

Well I think you have me confused with another. I had a black cobra with an S-trim and then a Eaton swap. But yes I’m still around. I’ll post more pictures when I start doing more stuff to the fox.

I'm not sure of the exact color, my builder had it done after I told him I wanted a satin black.
Yes, the crossover tube was done as well.

98svt.. Engine looks awesome man. I do approve! ha

I do use the major social media platforms. But most of it is browsing and such. I only post car stuff on IG now. But the last time i posted was 4 months ago? Talking to people on car groups is a damn joke. I cant take it.

The way of the forums is so much better and I wish people would understand that lol
