I dropped of the car at our good friends Power By the Hour in Boynton Beach. Jake and his crew are prepping the car for our up and coming 5.0 Magazine article which will be done this Thursday and Friday. Steve Turner will be covering the entire build of our car. I'll be sure to take tons of pics and stuff for you guys as well.

 

The plan is to have everything apart and ready to go back in on Thursday and have it finished by the end of the week. So far we've taken off the intake, exhaust, front bumper, heat exchanger, and have undone most of the wiring harness. Tomorrow the stock motor and tranny will come out as well as the stock fuel system. We'll then prep the new motor and everything else will get ready to be reinstalled.

 

Here's a list of what we've got ready to be installed.

 

Boss330 Racing Long Block- Ford GT Aluminum Block, Manley I-Beams, Custom CP Pistons/Rings, ARP Hardware, Custom Heads by Chris@Champion, Custom cams spec'd by Al Papitto, Bronze valve guides, stainless valves, high lift springs and retainers, Innovators West 10% Overdrive Crank Pulley

Sounds like fun! What size upper pulley and how much boost do you expect to run?

 

We're gonna run a 3" upper with a 10% lower. With a stock motor I believe that puts boost at about 26.5lbs. With the heads, cams and longtubes we're running I'm expecting to see less. Might have to throw on a 2.70" at some point.

Here's a few more pics of our car being put together at Power By The Hour in Boynton Beach, FL. Our good friend Jake and his crew worked extremely hard the last 2 days working extra long hours to get everything done for the article. I'm only going to post a few pics for now as you'll be able to see the entire thing in an up coming 5.0 Mustang Magazine article! Big thanks to Steve Turner for taking so much interest in our car and spending 2 full 90+deg days with us at the shop. Thanks to everyone else involved.

Jared, what size wheels and tires are those? Those are the trueforged wheels right? But what size wheels and tires are you you using?

 

 

True Forged 3 piece Sebring in Chrome. 20x9" Front 20x10.5" Rear. The rear tires are 305/35/20 Nitto DR's. I forget what we run on the front. I believe it's a 255/35/20 Nitto 555 Extreme.

 

Hope that helps.

 

Jared
