    Except the final paint on the hood and stinger stickers I would say I'm pretty much done. We all still have to pack.

    In 2 months and 13 days I disassembled a running 351 car and made it into a 2.3.

    We are leaving for World Ford Challenge in St Louis around 2-3am Tuesday morning and driving straight out and staying a week.

    Big thanks to Stinger Performance, amanda (mustanggrn) and her parents, along with Sam and Michelle, who I'll probably have to bulid or paint something for them for all their help.

    There's still a bunch of tuning to be done as well but we'll deal with that thursday.

    I'm not dead sure. I don't think this combo has been tested on a dyno due to the nitrous but retaining a stock head and cam. After a ported/ big valve head and matching cam I should be able to knock out around 400rwhp AND...after building a suitable bottom end. It should be capable of near 480+ and the wheels. Still a little ways off due to time. As time comes back my way I'll catch some dyno time.

    Really nice, it's stuff like this that keeps me chasing turbo tbird donors in the advertiser, instead of putting the AFR's on my 82!

    So many cars, so little time or money!
