That Looks awfully familiar

 

[SVT32VDOHC]

Good thing you found that mess behine the moldings. Everytime you washed the car, that crap would come out and ruin your wash job. You should have seen the load of pine needles behind my car and under the hood.

Looks nice, specs on the motor?

 

[89 notch rocket]

sorry guys havent been on in a while, i broke my ankle during summer and didnt get much done on the car so now im back to working on it

90 stock bottem end new rings and bearings
95 cobra gt40 iron heads home ported
trick flow valve spring upgrade

Is that coil wire going to make it once you start driving? Looks awfully tight to me.
Other than that, nice work
