The wiring was a cake walk. The whole thing didn't take that long, but it wasn't fun at all.

Dang........ time to start thinking about either a '11 stang with the 5.0 or a used 07-09 GT500 for around the same price. Anyone else here thinking about something similar?

Yep...... should be. Won't beat forced induction though. Will be interesting to see how it does with a blower..... 550 rwhp easily? Guess it depends on how much more stress the new pistons/rods can handle.
Not really a fan of either body. Would take the engines in a heartbeat though.
No payment is so nice right now.
We have 6 bays that are big enough for a full size 40 foot school bus, plus one smaller bay for mini buses that can still fit a full size in a squeeze, and a wash bay that usually doubles as a work bay, so we can fit 8 buses in with plenty of room to work on them. Sometimes I will do quick fixes outside as long as its not freezing cold, but most of the time I bring the bus inside.

So who gets to fix the short yellow buses????

We all work on the smaller buses at times, but there is one guy that has been working on them for over 10 years now, so he gets most of them. I have worked on the smaller buses from time to time, but most of the time I work on the full-size ones.
You were definitely stirring the pot with that one.
