that's interesting... carrying the red body/chassis color onto the intake and whatnot... looks good. Sure could use a dusting though wow

those are kinda old pictures.  Only ones I could find.  I guess I only have pictures of it apart during the 7-8 head gaskets I've done on it, lol.  Those pics were from last winter when I did the dual wastegate upgrade on the header.

I'm not sure I want to disgrace the forum by posting my underhood pics. I have a habit of leaving stuff under the hood, like empty boxes and oil and stuff like that.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

Yeah, my boss drives a mustang and had problems with his TPS sensor. So i pulled up by him, popped the hood and pulled two out from off the top of my radiator. I'll take a pic for you guys in the next day or two. Its not pretty though.

Yeah, what all mods have you done? Don't you dislike where the alt ends up with that kit?

Thank you for the compliments.

The list of mods is about 5 miles long and it took 9 years to get it to this point. Its a Supercharged 347 Stroker with a Stage I FB Transmission(900 hp) to keep it short and sweet.

The alt relocation is no big deal. Just dont install the bottom bolt the way Vortech tells you to or you will be pissed off if it ever fails.
