    As far I know it is the same as the TH400 but its a little bigger and heavier
    I never seen installed in Mustang let alone a foxbody so we will see how it goes.
    I did cut and weld new sheet metal on my trans tunnel to fit a bigger trans so
    hopefully I have enough room or I will have to re-modify it
    It looks pretty easy, some people say they just beat theirs trans tunnel a bit but thats on f-body's

    The tires on the rear are M/T 325/50R15 (never raced on them yet)
    The street wheels are True Forged Wheels 3 piece, model "Mach5" ... I think Mr. Big has some on his vette.



    Nope, thats the way the Ford Transmissions are.
    The 4l80 actually give me 4 true gears with no push button overdrive
    It has an overdrive I can punish so I wont top out at 170
    It does have a push button-lock up convertor option to give me more MPG though

    He does bad ass work and decent prices (also paints peddle cars, iphone covers and even toilet seats)

    This is something he painted which I am contemplating for my project




    Jerry is bad ass, I worked at his shop for several years when I was younger. I actually wet sanded that pedal car years ago. ^^^^

    Its just an idea but the reason flames are played out an suck is because 95% of painters can not do them right
    They always look like shit, google mustang flames and you will see this peddle car put them to shame
    Trust me, I like the plain slick look but this guy has skillz and I want to think outside the box to put this car over the top

    So you are keeping Heat and A/C ?
    I just noticed that you smoothed out the firewall and got rid you heater and A/C.
    Its going to be a trick set up which I will post later on when I start working on it

    I will also be replacing the headers as I do not like the way they are routed
    plus the Ford GT heads require a different exhaust pattern
    The new headers will be both Forward facing but I will still keep the A/C and everything to make it a "street car"
