Agree with others.....Still here. Sometimes I'm there. But always close enough to be here.
I have watched this baby from when the front end loader delivered the birth of this red head step child, to reading of countless nights of lost sleep, to its trial and error years, to what it has grown into today. SIR, You have raised one BMF.

Have you ever given your build a name?

In cutting the rad. support. Will that affect the nose of the car any. Or do you have plans of fabricating something to tie it back together.
One thing that I always forget to ask is....when you had the block done adding that plate that goes around each cylinder for strength. Will that create any heat issues. I know it's built for 1/4 mile at a time but if you did plan on driving it to get your nails done (just a joke) would the motor handle being roadworthy in city driving.

thanks guys!
bossman I'll end up making a custom piece to weld across behind the turbo pipe. I really don't think it will make any difference to be honest. The strength in the front comes from the rails underneath, the core support really doesn't seem that strong through there. I'll weld a piece across just in case.
The car car will run 10-15 degrees hotter with the plate, a steet car would have a thinner plate allowing for more cooling and that raises it 5-10 degrees. Not a big deal.

I think they became SVT (Special Vehicle Team) which is now just simply Ford Performance.
So a Ford Mustang SVO these days would be a Ford Mustang Ford Performance.
