I thought I'd give you guys an update pic. Notice the mastercylinder is mounted, as well as the power steering & Air condition. It doesn't look like much was done, but I was dealing with several other issues that don't show. Plus I had to make a trip to the bone yard because I had the wrong motor accessory plate. It looks like I'm going to wait until the project is done, before I will deal with the firewall to shock tower braces.
Looks great! I have a 5.0 that I converted to carb, but still have the serpentine with the stock 5.0 a/c compressor. I was wondering if you knew of a place, or already bought hoses that would work with the new compressor? Thanks, and that looks awesome, I would love to convert to the fuel injection some time in the future. -Corbin
I haven't had the A/C hoses made up yet, but there's a place called The Hose Man down here that does build them & will do so when I get to that point, which will be soon. They already made the high pressure hose for the power steering for $40. Let me know if you want me to price it out for you when I get to that point. I never did find that heater valve for you, yet I know I have it somewhere. Your car looks great too.
Hey, looks great! Now i know this is a bad time to mention this, but what about one of those little air box upper intakes that they make for the 5.0 mustangs? They sit real low, very small....
There are smaller upper intakes, but you loose all bottem end power when you go them. Plus the additional expense is quite pricey. I'm going to be running 2.73 gears & want the bottem end torque. Believe it or not, I want a luxury cruiser with all the amenities. The motor is basically stock, except for roller rockers, headers, flowed injectors, aluminum billit power pullies, K&N cold air induction & a EGR eliminator kit. Notice, it has the 130 amp alternator(battery in trunk), powersteering, air conditioning, power disc brakes & a Custom Auto Sounds in dash 4 speaker CD/AM/FM stereo(with booster). I want to be able to turn the key & go anywhere at anytime. No fuss, no muss...I own other cars for the brute horsepower purpose. I just took a different angle for this car's purpose.
When I first saw this post, I thought maybe GS had another project. Then of course i saw the date. I'm pretty sure he sold this car.
