nice work. Careful what holes you fill, you'll be needing a bunch of them again. ;)

If you look in the picture of engine bay you can see three cats all together! LOVE IT!

EDIT: The first picture of engine bay.

Looking great so far.I plan on getting the inner fenders done on mine as well when I get the temporary car here.I'm going to hide a bunch of wires as well.You've done some nice work.That last shot reminds me of how high the front of my Sport sat before I dropped it a little.

I would ditch those afr's unless your dead set on them. Trick flows would really help that thing out.

For what reason exactly? I'd prefer the AFR's (165 or 185 depending on displacement) due to much increased efficiency and a wide torque curve.

I didn't realize it mentioned 347 in a title in one of your posts - perfect head for that combo. Do you mention cam somewhere on this site? A 347 with decent parts is about as good a combination one can have in a stock block since it already approaches the limits of the casting. No forced induction needed there! I'm sure the intake is a little limiting though.

I think the trick flow can have higher peak numbers though due to the insanely large valves for most setups.

the cam is e303 ford racing, good cam, i chose the gt40 intake for its looks and its way better than the stock intake. roller rockers, this motor =has serious horse power. all naturally aspritated just like my ass

So it reminds you of yourself? Isn't that what they say about people and the pets they get also? :p

Seems like such little work compared to a fox mustang. I went a whole day in the engine bay with a welder on my Capri. Then the rest of the next day with a grinder disc. Good work. Looks awesome smooth.
