My sons and I are doing an motor swap. After this it will be paint time. The interior is completed. Added some online photos in no particular order. I will let you know how the new supercharged motor runs.

Nice work,Owen. I really like the interior. What kind of seats are those? Let's hear a little about this new motor. |thumb| |thumb|

Thanks Charlie,
The seats are from an early C4.
The motor was a crate motor removed from a '67 vette. He is restoring it to orginal. The motor is in great shape with the heads rebuilt. The super charger is a B&M 144. It is about 480hp/580lbs torque. Transmission is a beefed up 700r4. Rear gear is 3.55. Should be a blast!

1/4 mile run??? Maybe... I'm more interested in teaching the Mustang boys a little humility! |eek|

Owen,
You will find plenty of Mustangs at Houston Raceway Park on Wednesday and Friday nights. Let me know when you plan to take it to the Humble Saturday cruise-in.

Thats a great looking color already. I believe I would probably stick with that color.
