    Well to start with i had a near stock 97 mustang GT that took a turn for the worst and began burning oil and fouling plugs. So instead of fixing the problem lets replace the problem.

    Beginning with the ugly Tan and Black interior combo put in these mustangs

    Use to look like this.

    Now it looks like this.

    Of course it's not completely done there are still small misc. things that have to be put back in. AC vents new CD player... Put tools away

    Getting rid of the T45 and putting in the TKO600

    New set of PI Heads with Stage 2 274H comp cams

    And of course i had to get something nice to put the new heads on so... 03 cobra block was in order..

    To exit i had to lose the stock headers and go with BBK longtubes with matching BBK O/R x pipe

    Future plans include built rear end, upgraded fuel system, TT's (i hope) with whatever else i might stumble across.

    That's all i have for now...:shrug:

    if you are using Cobra pistons with 2V PI heads, your compression ratio is going to be low.

    The bottom end will be assembled by a shop not sure who yet... If anyone can suggest a shop near the raleigh area that is good with building bottom ends and isn't out of my price range please let me know. As far as the rest of the car goes SaleenGT2001 (Ben) and some other friends will be.
