    Just purchased my new engine/tranny combo for my pro-street project!!! It's a Lincoln Mark VIII 32V DOHC engine and AOD tranny today. It should be delivered this weekend. I had planned on using a big block but I really wanted to do something high-tech. I am a late model mustang fan too (not as much as a I a Maverick fan though) and I have seen some really amazing results with the DOHC engines and turbochargers. Plus they look awesome too. Those huge valve covers and twin turbochargers ought to make for one impressive engine bay. :cool:

    As Emeril would say "BAM"

    I get so busy sometimes I just forget to take pictures. I am hoping to get a digital camera for Christmas to make things a little easier. The 32V ought to be quite an adventure, but an expensive one at that (parts for these engines are crazy), so I am going to have to build it as I can afford to. It might take me a while but this is the car I have dreamed about building for many years and I don't want to compromise speed for quality so please have some patience on the buildup, I'll keep y'all updated.:)
