    I know that it is being done to a Mustang. Where do you think the Falcons came from? Now that I have the welder, all I need is the time and alittle assistance. Hoping to start up in March or April.

    Had this in mind: A buddy of mine is interested in the Terminator DOHC 4.6L engine and if things work out, his current (550hp) DOHC 4.6L with Vortech S/C and air to air I/C might find itself resting in my old wagon . My buddy is going overseas in support of OIF and it will be over 1 year before his engine will be accessable. Not a ride for those with a weak ticker............More to follow.

    Hopefully this will happen!
    Then this happened: Another buddy of mine from work just took delivery of a High Horsepower Roush "plug and play" set up for his Mustang. I asked him what he was going to do with the set up he has now (Stroker with Trick Flow heads (RACE) and intake. It dyno'd out at alittle over 600 HP with the help of a Vortech). Along with the engine I will be receiving his ECM, wiring harness, etc. less the Vortech (that's where Stew comes in) So, I think it looks like a Vortech blown pushrod stroker with 600+HP is going in WAY SOONER than the DOHC 4.6. Olde School it is (well, maybe some of it).Stay tuned. Pics of the engine will be posted soon.

    My buddy with the Trick Flow stroker needed that. I hate people that talk, talk, talk and all of a sudden you realize that the talking was coming out the wrong end. Not to worry. I just locked in on a '69 351W with an FMX trans. The trans will probably get sold to help with the funds. The cool part is that I was able to use some of the parts that I was selling as a down.......... 50% DOWN! Anyone want to take a scientific wild azz guess on the total cost after the down? Got hooked up through the Falcon web sight that I check out occassionally. More to folow. Stay tuned.

Well, with the fore mentioned and the Mustang II conversion sitting in the garage collecting dust and no idea of who will do the install.................. I decided to pick up a 100 amp flux core welder. I have a welding back ground (not to the extent of Metalman) and recently went through a refresher course. This will be a slow process so it gets done correctly. I may even try doing some other stuff like custom roll cage, mini tubs, air ride set up, just to name a couple.

    Scored a supercharger for next to nothing.................All that is needed is to figure out which direction to go. HHHMMMMMMMMM S/C 5.4L (if it will fit) or 408 Windsor stroker with the S/C and injected. Got 5.4 Heads, COPs, L injectors (42 lb/hr)- ALL FREE!!! and other 5.4 stuff on standby (haven'y forgot ya jpanchalk)............. or build the 200 buck special (351W with FMX trans and headers) as a 408 STROKER. Currently taking in ideas for this situation at hand. BTW, No I won't turn away donations in the parts department

    Will need a custom plate for the S/C to bolt onto an intake with the injectors plumbed in. The intake of choice might be the lower intake from a first gen L (351W based).
