    Here's where I bought my carb, he can tell you all about them http://www.tmpcarbs.net/
    It's a holley 750 dp on top of a funnel web intake. It has a mild cam soon to be changed out to a higher performance profile along with a higher stall converter. I haven't had the car long so it's coming together quickly. I plan on building the engine like my last 64.5 mustang

    I did fit the Funnelweb intake with a 2" tall filter under the stock hood. I love the performance of the Funnelweb intake. I've used them on my last 3 builds

    Love the stance! Great color!:thumbs2:

    The belt drive on the Mustang is very cool too!

    Thanks, the timing belt drive setup was expensive but good eye candy and free'd up some HP along with the other electric accessories.

    I really like that belt set up.. Can you elaborate on where you got it?

    Danny Bee belt drives. It wasn't hard to install and you can degree your cam very easily externally. Here's the link to their web.

    Looks like Jegs even sells them now for $850. I paid around $1400 six years ago for the belt drive and Meziere water pump
