I'm doing everything I can to keep it with the stock hood. So far with a smaller pulley and a small notch in the hood and it might fit. I've got some prelim measurement and I might be off just under an inch. we'll see.
Hahah I like that. To make the hood fit, you need a smaller pulley, which in turn will give you more power. Oh the sacrafices, eh? 
the thread have to go dark untill its started and on the road (within the next few days) I've got some import / ricer locally that are trying to sabatoge the project and making things difficult. once its all together I'll have a biiiiig update.
Sorry for the bad news but until the "STFU" pimp hand is put down on some haters I've got to protect the project.

Holy crap, that's more of a sleeper than my car! Looks awesome man.
looks great man!! can't wait to see the finished product!
Man, I've always loved the MKVIII's, the 98 LSC the most. I almost bought one years ago, but got a 00 GT 'vert instead. That was the start of my Stang addiction, lol.
Good luck with your project & spit rubber all over those ricers.

Sorry I havent had a whole lot of updates but my lawyer had me shut up for a while until somehthings get settled
Not to go into to much detail. but a somewhat local import guy that sell plans on other motor swaps (honda's, toyota, etc.) took parts of my technical threads I had been posting, put them into a "plan" using my pictures, and selling them for $200+ as if he had done the swap himself. There is ALOT of information missing from those threads that whomever would want to do the swap would have to figure out on thier own just like I did.
Well I got a call from a very angry customer of his saying that the plans were incomplete and that his plan would have blown up the motor, the car or himself. I told the guy I never sold any plans.
Lawyers got involed, feds are getting involved, its a really big mess.
There will be some video soon of the car running. I've got some exhaust parts on the way then its off to ALOT of tuning.

Feds are getting involved? Can't really see it going that far but ok.

selling information off the internet to someone is not illegal. these harrassing and threating calls has several peoples attention.
That and what about engine movement from regular driving, or revving it up? Maybe just a tiny little notch would be ok?phreakness said:
That sucks to hear some ass bag is stealing your info and trying to screw people. Keep us updated on the swap and the lawsuit. :rockon:
looks good
