Too much motor, not enough engine bay. First world problems I guess, lol
hey I'mma just try a bungy cord that should work out fine right.

I guess I could just take the hood off and ride around like all of these rednecks around here do with their S-10 trucks and Honda Civics, lol. Apparently that adds about 200 horsepower if you do it in conjunction with a straight pipe exhaust and an open element air cleaner, lol.

I'm hoping for the same, told the wife if we get the rain they're forecasting today maybe tomorrow we could get the cars out. Just to move them around for a few minutes at least.

motor size is fine

[QUOTE=Rather B.Blown;6888863]Now that is funny.



Those valve covers look really small for a real Mustang, you need moar motor.

my motors fine if I need one I'll buy one but not the h e l l from ford for screw ing me on my hood

I'd like to have a strut tower brace on the 500 (even if just for the looks like my SGT had) but I don't think there is one that clears the blower and doesn't hit the hood. I know FRPP had one, but I've read on other sites that it pushes hard up against the hood. I don't want that.



Yeah, like your baller **** can't afford to do the same thing, and then some..
