Before & After

More progress pics from Cam!

Ive always liked the way a Coupe looks when its slammed on the ground. But I was told without the proper mods, it wouldnt work very well at the track. SO a call to TRZ was in order....

Their 2" drop spindles look awesome, and are strong enough to see some street time.

Im also not a fan of the front wheel behind further out than the rear wheel, so I ordered up some 1" shorter A-arms to get the front wheel back to where it needs to be...

Hopefully, Ill have the New Strange brakes in today or tomorow, as the ones I have now, will only fit the factory spindles.

Cam also sent me this pic...

Sweet! What wheel opening mods did you have to do to get those diameter tires to clear? 28s barely clear mine after clearancing.

On the outside? He didnt do anything as he didnt want to mess up the paint.

Now the inside, all kinds of shit!! LoL!

So how did they fit in the outer lip? Was it narrowed a bit more to move the tire further in the wheelwell?

The believe the rear end has been cut down a total of 3-1/4" on each side.


I finally got the Stang off the trailer and in the garage.

Looking at everything I have to do, Overwhelmed would be a good status update.

Its going to be a lot of Long nights out here in the garage this Winter. :o

Done yet? Get on it!!!

I am so far out on this build. :(

I said to myself, "this Coyote isnt going to change the Valve springs itself."
SO I fired up the heater and went to work...

I have the Head on tool, but Ill be pulling the heads to install some Cometics and ARP Studs.

Made an early mroning run up to Cam's shop to have hime Tig some -12 fittings on my new Ford Valve covers.

Im hoping to have my New, Gen II Camshafts in this week. Then I can get them installed along with some PAC 1234X springs and get the eng/trans back under the car.

Thanks for tuning in.

Just plugging away out in the garage. :dummy:

Looks great! You are a lot further ahead than I am.

Shit. I have A LONG way to go with this. Its like Im completely starting over. :blink:

Oh well, Ill just keep on Keeping on....

I got the drivers side cams installed along with the chains.

https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...b825a2e_4k.jpg

https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...61a9638_4k.jpg


ARP Head studs & Cometic HGs installed.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...92487ad_4k.jpg


I got the pass side done as well, but when I went to turn it ove, its said, NOPE. So Ill be watching my YT videos again and seeing where I fucked up. :mad:

You are lightyears ahead of me. My block is at BES, don't have heads or cams, crank needs balanced, bearings are on intergalactic back order, etc. Haven't even started ordering transmission parts yet!
I use the ford factory SM to do my chains, pretty much have it memorized now.

I have been fucking with these for a couple weeks now and I finally double checked my order....Seems like Im a Dumbass and ordered the wrong cams.

My dude, Walter to the rescue!! He has a set and he is getting them sent out so that I can get this back together!

Hopefully Ill have some new updated pics soon.

Awesome build. Excellent welding skills. Hope you figure out the cam issue. I came here today for nostalgia reasons. Looking up old threads I was a parts of. Always loved the forums especially this one and the Dayton 5.0 one that Mike Bell had. Forget the name. Think the name changed once. Wish we could go back. I hate Facebook. Seems like a chaotic mess, cant find things twice half the time. This is a 40 page thread that I can read like a book, find it easily and check in as often as I like. So nice.

I check on this board everyday, but when there are no New posts, I get disappointed as I to remember when there would be quite a few every morning.

Dayton Stang Board. Yes, this is much better than FB in my opinion. I've been covered up busy the past week or so and haven't been on here any. I am having a cruise in again this May.

So Craig, any updates?

No sir. Mustang is on hold until I get my Blue Nova back together. (The DS broke around 6200 on the Dyno and fucked all kinds of stuff up)

OMG, that sucks. Sorry to hear.

Not a lot going on with anything, but I did get my parts back from PC. :cool1:

The color really POPS in the Sun.

https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...ab16aeb_4k.jpg

It looks a bit darker in the shade.

https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...3a22505_4k.jpg

I got around to getting the Glasstek hood a bit closer to installed.

JPC makes a Beefy Flexplate.

https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...0d5c7ef_6k.jpg

and it fits nicely to my Circle D Bolt-together TQ converter.

https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...6a09ef0_6k.jpg

Which fits nicely into my TSI Built PG 5000.

Not sure when this car will be back together, but at least it will look cool sitting there collecting dust. :D
