very interesting, an mn12 shifter, cougar turbines, buttstuffog gauge cluster, im assuming its at least HO, because its MAF

the more i look at the pic, the more i wonder if its really an mn12 shifter?
It's Gumby's fault.

Looks like it SHOULD be an HO.  Mass air and 19#'s on the intake maifold.  Tom is that a 65mm TB? I see the coolant passages are plugged on it as well

I was running when I took the pix, guess the shutter speed on the camera stopped the motion of the pulleys and fan. I had just driven it home from Portsmouth, bout 11-12 miles.....

Yea it looks like a rollin' junk pile, but it drives and runs good(but not as good as it should for whats on the car). I have a set of Turbo Coupe seats for it.

I haven't taken a inventory of whats actually on the car, but it had about $7000 in receipts from Summit and some local shops in the glove box.  I know it has Windsor Jr heads, Ford Racing rockers, BBK headers and exaust system etc... Engine rebuilt in '01(.040 over 308 cu in)with less than 5000 miles. Also it has a fresh AOD(gets rubber in 2nd) and a Turbo Coupe rear end and front brake conversion. Needless to say... I got a hell of a deal on it... :evilgrin:  :ies:

After I get it tuned and spruced up a bit, I'll find out what it will do at the drag strip next month.  :grinno:

Rides like a fornicatekin' buckboard, they'll be commin' out for some stockers... They are a Ford Racing set of some sort, I'm gonna ask Chuck W if he knows what they are when I get some numbers off them..
