[I Like Waffle]

See youre going with the 4.6 vs something huge and obnoxious like i would, lol. Is it gonna be carbed or FI? Dont believe ive ever seen a carbed 4.6

sticking with F.I. however I did have a 557 stroker built for it so... then I changed my mind, sold that motor and started in this one, so originally i was big and obnoxious but that isn't really "different" these days so I changed it up. Also thought about going carb but I am not really wanting to run a "blow-thru" setup for the turbo so...

setup consists basically of:

Teksid Aluminum block

2003 Cobra forged crank shaft

D.S.S. forged H-beams rods with ARP 2000 bolts

D.S.S. forged X pistons with fly cuts, and "X grooves"

1996 Lincoln Mark VIII heads with 1996 Cobra camshafts

IMRC plates I modified into IMRC delete plates

Cobra intake manifold setup

Aeromotive A1000 fuel pump (running at 50psi, -10 line)

Aeromotive fuel rails (-10 into a Y-block and -8 into each rail)

Deka 60lb injectors

90MM MAF

Holset HX52 turbo (just under 70mm)

4" dump into dual 2.5" straight pipes

front mount intercooler with 3" piping

etc....

may be... those are actually not even the '73 stripes, 71-72 IIRC, '73 they changed to just a regular "bar" down toward the bottom...
Paint is still something I cannot decide on. I like that "factory" look but something like a REALLY dark purple I think would look killer too! but I love this look!! Being such a big car I think the "two tone" really breaks it up a little and helps the look.

i like this one!!!

I counted your #7 and #3 as one and also #3 and #4 as one... the other stuff was I widened the rear tires as well as raised the back end and lowered the front end... looked like this for me. I guess technically my #6 and #7 could have just been a single thing "added rake" but...

#1 shaved doors handles

#2 shaved side markers (so I had to fill in the stripe, didn't really count that as one)

#3 shaved antenna

#4 shaved mirrors

#5 removed emblem from grille

#6 raised the ass end

#7 lowered the front end

#8 widened rear tires

Keep the handles and the mirrors and do the stripe on the red mustang.

they need to bring back the mach! I have an 07 GT that i love, but a new age mach would probably be pretty awesome too
