Updated pics of my GT-350

[FATHERFORD]

Repainted the engine bay performance white. AJE kmember and a-arms, 87 up spindles and rotors, 87 crown vic calipers(73mm and steel piston), new bearings seals etc., SS brake lines, granatelli coil overs, kyb struts, MM CCP, and some offset rack bushings.

The brake lines were already painted white from the previous owner lack of prep, so I just painted them white myself. Oh well.

More pictures to come!

did you get overspray on the side stripes?

[FATHERFORD]

did you get overspray on the side stripes? Dont think so, just the way the light hit it. Really dont care anyway the car is getting repainted to performance white. I am having the side stripes air brushed on.

[TL TTop Coupe]

You paint the engine bay? Def. gonna be a NICE car when finished. Like your mods.

Yes I painted it performance white. The rest of the car will be painted here in a month or two.

I just graduated from college and got a job at an Industrial engineering company, so who knows what will happen to my two four eyes in the coming year. I would like for 84 to see 1000rwhp on pump gas sometime down the road 8)

[Pegasus]

I like that car, great job!! Great taste in K-members!

[unit175]

It will always have alot of work to do to it. All my vehicles are a never ending project.

[AT6svo]

Damn! I've got my work cut out for me!

I too will be painting the engine compartment of my GT350 also...

[I DARE YOU!]

Nice G.T. 350 love what you've done with it!

[FATHERFORD]

Well I just moved and got a job at mustang engineering so my time to work on my car dwindled, but I have manged to get this far as of last weekend...

I got rid of that typhoon intake and got a extrude honed upper and hand ported lower track heat, an NX plate kit, and some M/T valve covers to replace the stockers.

Looking good! I can't wait to see the finished pic's. Keep on working so you can enjoy it a lot sooner.

[f4fntm]

Wow - looks tough already. :upthum:

[FATHERFORD]

Thanks guys. Going to try and work hard on it this weekend to get it running. Maybe drive it around the block. I'm sure i'll still have alot left to do, but getting it running will lite a fire and make me really start working on it.

[FATHERFORD]

Alright got it running and drove it this weekend. Have a little tuning to do, bump up the timing to 14-16 and adjust the fuel pressure while monitoring the wideband. Need to play with the brakes some too, get them adjusted right.

It felt good to drive it again.

[Red_85GT]

Hey Fatherford!

Just wondering if you have any more updates on your project? :)

[Blainer]

I wish that front end was on my ttop coupe. I am stuck with stock for now in the front end. my car is what you call a MONEY PIT....lol

[mustang4life1985]

Wow that's a badass GT350! Looking really good. That car must really move!:cool:

[FATHERFORD]

Yes I do actually, I forgot to take pictures this weekend though. I am now installing a hellion 62mm turbo system on the car, converted to mass air, a MMR clutch, bbk upper and lowers, and welded torque boxes.

Car should put down 450-500rwhp on 8lbs of boost(based on two other cars with simular combos). The car SCREAMED N/A. I never took it to the track, but it would top out(6k rpm) in 5th gear with those 3.27 without breaking a sweat. Started feeling a little "floaty" about that time. I need to see if there is a way I can correct for that. I guess that is expected going 180+mph in a fox LOL.

I'm waiting to pay a few things off, and my raise in 2 months, but I hope by mid next year to have my dart block in, a clutch, dual walbro fuel pumps, and a 76mm turbo shooting for 1000rwhp on 93 octane(110 in the nitrous fuel system). Will I make it? I have no clue. Going to try though.

Ill try and take pictures here in two weeks when I head back to waco where my cars are at, or try and get my parents to takes pics of it out in my fathers shop.
