Awesome pics Jill! Would love to see the grand canyon someday. We've been trying to get my parents to take us to AZ after christmas and I'd defiintely have to take a drive up to see it.
well, essentially...it doesnt always start like it's supposed to. If it's cold, and hasnt run in a while, it's fine, and starts normal. If i've just run it, like going to the gas station, stop it, and try to restart shortly thereafter (and sometimes after it's been sitting for a bit) it will turn over once like normal, and then die off, you can hear it hitting on one cylinder at a time two or three times, then dies. Occasionally that popping from it dying out turns into a really f'n loud backfire. It seems to run fine once started, but my car is loud enough as it is, the backfire scares the everloving hell out of people, and I never know when it's going to happen.
This is almost exactly what's going on with the GT, plus I think we've both been getting the same code. The cam sensor was replaced twice, and it still didn't fix it. I remember the mechanic mentioned it could be the computer. He said something about crazy electrical readings or something of that sort. I can't remember exactly. But that leads me to think it could be the alternator. I just haven't had the time to get it tested.
In other GT news, finally changed my oil and cleaned the air filter. Might wash it tomorrow if the hose isn't frozen.

I saw something in 5.0 Mustang where it has been done in a New Edge before, I watched them put one in a fox body at Carlisle and I know they did one with a Bullitt. The only S197 ones that I have seen have all been race cars MattD did one and has a 49 page build thread with a **** ton of info but not much on how electronics wise and he switched out his gauge cluster to 5" tach and speedometer but his is a Drag car really and I havnt seen many S197 street cars =/ ... I would rather do that since I want to stay N/A so having a 380-390 HP car with full bolt ons in a 3v seems kind of stupid if I can get 360 starting out of a 5.0 and get north of 500 RWHP on a N/A car
