    re-assembly on the CHEAP!

    my plans for the mustang have DRASTICALLY changed from my original ideas. i'm now simply going to do a basic reassembly and repair/replace the broken/worn out pieces. i'm going to use the parts i already have (exploder intakes, and a pair of off brand "racing" seats) and put the car back...

    MMs road/track box

    are any of you guys running this package or a similar setup? i talked with them this morning and this was the package they recommended. the only thing not included are upper control arms, which they recommend running the factory parts (or the ones from FRPP) due to the screwed up geometry...

    roll bar opinions

    once i get the interior pulled out the first thing to go back in will be a roll cage. i've looked at the ones that maximum motosports offers and the cages from jegs. i talked to a local shop that will do a 6 pt cage for about $400. for the same money i can get a much more "involved" cage from...

    good cam?

    engine build dilemma

    so here's my problem...... i've looked at and considered many different combos to put back into my GT. 1) i've considered a 351 (they supposedly cost the same to rebuild as a 302, but make more HP/torque) 2) a stroked 351 (again, supposedly cost roughly the same as a 302 but make...
