whoo hoo , after several months, many cuts bruises and some other pains not mentionable i got almost everything buttoned up on the rebuilt 351 w and actually started it up today,

nice and loud with only headers, ran good and smooth, now i need to install the cooling system tomorrow and drive shaft

hhmmm test drive with no hood or windows works for me

 

Sounds like fun. YOu said just headers?

 

Ah, yes. Every engine needs to be fired with open headers.
The best sounding exhaust there is.

Congrats! And every first test drive should be done without a hood.
Those are the traditions that I have been keeping to.

 

My dads truck has. You could feel the vibration of the ground about 20 feet away.

 

well i got the cooling system all hooked up, only thing left now is putting on the exhaust and getting my darn hydro clutch bracket to come in, then it will be drivable

 

Hydrolic cluctch? how fun was that to put in a 67?

 

not bad i just followed this

cost me 190 dollars

 

That is what most people put in classic mustangs with T5 conversion.

 

Well, seeing as to how i have a T5, that sounds like a good idea

 

I just ordered my hardware for the kit, should be on the road by saturday all's i need now is paint

 

Did you ever decide what color?

 

thinking the 03 04 cobra, chrome yellow now but still undecided

I passed a yellow cobra yesterday. The yellow looks good.

 

I like the yelow. It makes it look intimidating
