That's awesome Sean. That must be a real treat to drive. Growing up, my father has always had classic Mustangs. Does yours have the 260 or the 289?

 

Dude, your car is HOT!!! Keep it up!

 

It WAS done completely to stock, which is what took so long. The stock code had the tiny little 170 4-banger in it and a 4-speed manual tranny. The tranny's were produced by a company in Germany called Dolphenhiemer (sp?), we tried like 3 of them and changed the linkages, shifters, etc etc numerous times but the transmission locked up ALL the time. So, driving it was always an adventure. So, about 2 years ago we had the guy who builds my brothers racecar motors (dirt late models) build a 289 for it and linked it to a 5sp auto tranny. In doing so, we had to upgrade various other things like the suspension, motor mounts, driveshaft, switched to the 289 2+2 wheels, exhaust etc etc. SOOO- to answer your question, its got a non-stock (very powerful) 289 dropped in it. The last outstanding issue is it idles tooo strong and its hard to keep stopped even with the upgraded brakes. I usually drop it into low gear when coming to stop lights or putting her back into the garage... reverse is fun! when its in reverse, its moving... you cannot stop it- shift back to neutral and brake! haha

 

Sweet, that's awesome Sean!

 

Thanks man! Your sig says you have a '06 Twlight Blue?!?! I thought they stopped making the twilight blue in '04?? I had a TB 04 and when I traded for an 05 they didnt make TB. I had to get the Athens Blue instead?!?!
