Wow, it’s been a long time since my last update! A lots been happening since June, first I had the car dyno’d. I made 205RWHP/264RWTQ. I changed my fuel pump and distributer cap after the dyno and it felt like I picked up about 5 or 10 HP. Also, I think my huge tires hurt my performance a little.

I took a road trip at the end of July to Kitty Hawk, NC. I had a good time and the stang made it there and back in one piece. I wanted to get some pics of my car on the beach, but I didn’t get a chance. Oh well, maybe next year.

Mileage is now well over 166K! I’ll be rolling over 167K later next week. My daily driver Explorer decided to drop 2nd gear so I’ve been driving the stang every day. Hopefully the Explorer will be running again in two or three weeks so I can park the stang for the winter.

Speaking of winter, I found my project for the stang! I bought a ’69 block 351W short block bored and stroked to 418ci! Im gonna use AFR 225 heads, a FlowTechInduction custom cam, and either the Edelbrock Victor 5.8 or the Spyder intake, which is a carbed intake modified to run fuel injection. I hope to start putting this beast together around mid-November, so check back soon for pics and updates!

That’s all for now, but check back because I promise I’ll update the site more often lol. Later
