Ricky's Mopar Powered Mustang Build Thread

[JMB Justin]

My buddy Rickys SRT4 Powered 89 Mustang. Goal is 2500# race weight plus driver, 8.50 cert safety, 700+whp, deep 9's or better ET at 150+MPH. It currently has a TH350 trans in it for mock up (may go to a TH400), and a 8.8 Ford rear. Car is completely gutted and being built from scratch, only factory Ford will be the body. Heres the progress so far:

Slick work! Did my eyes deceive me or is there one egt bung welded onto each of the four exhaust runners?

Yes, hes planning on running e98 or e85 and it will help to tune it

I made the trans adapter setup, from there really the oil pan/pick up tube is the only thing thats required for the motor to operate correctly.

I agree. A powerglide would be sick in that thing

 

[viperhauler]

cuz glide's suck as a driver, that's why!

 

[JMB Justin]

You have to remember this is a small ci big turbo setup, it doesn't have a huge power band, most likely will be 5000-8000, too narrow for a 2 speed IMO.

Cage and suspension work is next, then EFI and wiring. He has a new baby on the way so it will probably be on the back burner soon, hopefully not though.
