Slow 68 mustang - Big Girl Pearl or "Yellow Fury"

[arcane73]

So here's the cliff notes version of the latest developments.


Some shots of the random engine parts that I've collected.


This is everything that came with the Eagle stroker kit that I acquired.



This is the second block that I picked up shortly after picking up the first.



See why the first block was 'free'?



Traveled down to MikeH's shop to install the MMI Panhard kit, rough in the alignment and roll the fenders because i had a couple of scrub issues and didn't want to ruin the new tires.





More home alignment pics with Mike's dad surfing craigslist on his phone for a Crown Vic to autocross....(he found one too!)





Panhard Bar prior to installation. Don't have any install pics though.



Starting point on the rears.


Getting there.


This lip will no longer chew on my tire.



And the gratuitous shot of Mike's Chevelle. Some of you guys may recognize it. It's not too shabby for a chevy.



I'll likely be doing some sort of subtle flares on the car at some point (as much as i hate to admit it). The front passenger fender is a cheap replacement and has to go. Both quarters have prior light wreck damage on them and I'll probably just replace them versus trying to sort out all of the wrinkles under the bondo. Mike can claim this as a minor victory.....


The engine build is still ongoing. I've been collecting parts and looking for a suitable block. I'm expecting my Terminator EFI kit to arrive tomorrow and once the cam specs get sorted out, I'll be ordering that and (likely) AFR 205 heads.
Once all that has been sorted, built, balanced and shipped, I'll start looking at sourcing my transmission. I'll be looking at a TKO500 or 600 since the current build numbers look to be approaching the 500 ft lb torque and hp range. :D
