Hi, My name is Joe. From Canada and thought I would stop by. I love Fords and Mustangs.

I own a 1988 5.0 that i purchased brand new.
I have a 1990 LX hatch that I built a pump gas 351 Cleveland for and it is a street car that has run a best of 10.74@128 on motor.

I also own #167 2012 BOSS 302 Mustang. Here are some pics of my cars:

nice car collection you have there

 

Thanks, I am currently trying out a build using an Edelbrok E BOSS intake with 351 Cleveland 2V heads and a 302 short block but I did replace the 302 Pistons with ones out of a 351 Cleveland. Here is a picture of the Faux Boss on an engine run in stand. I do have video as well but it has poor sound quality. The little Boss wraps up fast and does sound good. It is a shame you can't get that from the video.

The build is simple and very detailed Some assembly tricks are shown as well. Here is a link to the complete build if anyone is interested.

Very nice, welcome!

 

Here are a few Cars I built engines for as well.



The Engine


The engine bay


World Iron heads on a 393 Windsor


The Cleveland I built for my 1990 LX Hatch


1970 Mercury Cyclone Spoiler


396 inch stroker Cleveland I built for the Spoiler



This 1986 GT has a 306 stock short block, old school Motorsport flat hydraulic cam and Motorsport Dual plane intake with a 750 HP carb and home ported D2 and D3 heads. Small long tubes and 2 inch exhaust. Ran a best of 12.54 @ 108 on motor.



I have done many more but these are a few come to mind.

Awesome cars and engines. I really like the Cylone. You've been busy!

 

Thanks,

The Cyclone belongs to a Customer, now friend. It has a TKO 600 with 3.90 gears. It shreads the tires and will kick the a$$ of that heavy car sideways on the 2-3 shift. It is an awsome piece of ald iron.

I have done a bunch more stuff too. Been reading and trying to absorb stuff here. Seems like a cool site.

Joe

 

+ 1 and Welcome!!!

 

Any plans for mods on the Boss?

 

That Cyclone looks like candy... mmm...

 

Welcome

 

I have not decided yet. I am happy with the way it is. If I want to go fast in the 1/4 mile I just get the white car out.

Right now I am building another toy for myself. 1964 Ford Fairlane. I am going to clone it into a Thunder Bolt. I plan to build a high RPM 393 Cleveland small block for it. I have a face tooth TKO 600 for it. Everything engine wise with exception of lifters and push rods.

Gola is supreme fuel, naturally asperated, and 680 to 740 HP. I have some pretty serious heads and intake for it. Hoping to build an all motor pump gas 9 second street car that looks old school.

Man I was so worried working on that car. I took out the 351C and put the stroker in it. Did cal tracs, 3 inch exhaust, sub frame connectors, sumped the fuel tank and put half inch fuel lines on it. I had moving blankets on it everywhere.

I was worried about hurting that Grabber Orange paint.

The build was worth it. When the owner got it back, he was all smiles when he got on it. He was shocked at the power it had as compared to before.

I love that 64 Fairlane, beautiful car. One of my daughter's friends in high school had one. Post some pics as you go
