Mustang Club of Maryland

Update:

I've been quite busy with ole 89. She had been giving me a hard time running right lately. The compression test was all over the map, and I have a bunch of go faster parts laying around. So during the break between x-mas and New Years, I dove into the Mustang full speed ahead!

I pulled the motor. Found many bolts not torqued down. Lots of fubar vacuum lines. Since the trans was recently rebuilt, the bel housing bolts, exhaust and tq converter bolts were a breeze. Thank God for air tools! Late Model Restoration and CJ Pony Parts has been sending me lots of parts. Including a heater core. Mine was leaking, so thats done now.

Currently, the block, crank and pistons loaded on the pick up truck waiting to go to the machine shop. I already had a set of GT40 irons here and got them back from the shop already. Good news is, someone already put in a FMS E303 cam shaft in. Bad news is, it is also fubar! A couple of lobes have flat spots from when a lifter did a 180. So a new cam is in the future.

Sorry I don't have pics. Our digital camera is also fubar. The cell phone pics I took didnt come out well.

Lookin forward to seeing what she'll do when complete...

What cam are thinking about using?

Its alive! In the break in period now. She runs! Less than 100 miles on it and I'm on her. Still a couple of bumps to iron out, like it needs a hood since my combo sticks up to high! I need to get pics up.

Can't wait to see it Charlie!
