Well today really put a smile on my face. Got a few kinks worked out. Took my son for a drive. And tucked the stang in bed till next weekend. Dyno day and car show!

First kink. A/F was 17.0 at cruise and light acceleration. Swapped jets and she's at 11.8 so it's REALLY close for cruise. I'd like to see it at 12.5-13. wot is perfect at 11.4 . pulls so **** hard now. What I suspected before with the 4.56's was dead on. The 4.56's weren't loading the blower enough to really wrap up. The 3.73 put more load on the blower now and she **** pulls. It's quicker then I had expected it to be before I started the build.

Second kink. Had a loud grinding noise and vibration coming from the rear. I feared the worst with the fresh gear swap. Knowing how anal i was during installation(as always) i doubted it could be the rear but..... After close inspection I found the e brake cables under the car rubbing the driveshaft at the rear. They aren't hooked up yet. Just gotta build a bracket and route the cables. Tucked them away and the rear is quiet as a kitten.

My son loves daddy's mustang. He's always out trying to help when I'm out working on it. He's a mustang addict already. :)

Almost forgot I was a member here. Lol. It's been a while but I'm checking back in with some updated pics. I recently started a new engine build for my next car. It's a fuel injected 14-71 blown sbf 428. Should make roughly 1600hp and will see street time. Currently searching for a 99-04 mustang chassis to build for it. Anyways here are last pics of the foxbody project.

Added nitrous
