I was searching ebay...there are a ton of eaton m30's on there from the gm 3800's and the 3.8 ford. wonder if one of those would mount like yours.

you would definately need some custom brackets and ducting, not to mention pulleys and a belt system (gotta love old car simplicity) but i think it could be done. I think the hardest part though wont even be the fabrication, it would be the tuning

I dunno, I think it wouldn't take to much tuning on my 99. basically i could custom mount the sc maybe making about 6 psi, change out the spark plugs, add steeda timing adjust to bump the timing and use premium fuel and i think i'd be ok.

should give me a bit of hp boost.. maybe a 40hp increase. get me to 300hp. i'd be happy if i could do that for a couple hundred bucks.

I think you'll be getting more than just 40 horsepower there, and its definately doable. How long do you have to smog it for? Idunno if yours would pass...

ehh, whatever. you could always just bribe the shop.

It would definately be cool to see a newer mustang with a ghetto setup like that. That way it wouldnt be just us II guys lol

dear god!!!! thats alot of pulleys!!!! LOL

You could go old school ghetto and just cut a hole in the hood, but i suppose that ruins the sleeper value...

if you find a longer belt for the drive that the alt is on, you could move it to the passenger side a tad, and mount the Eaton M30 right above the motor, maybe get a cowl hood or something..

Alright update time

What a hecktic few hours

Soooooo last night later on someone says they'd like to buy the car, blahblahblah, but only if its running and driving. So my blower progress is on hold. The car was towed to a local place (same place the beater was just repaired, a bunch of great guys that know what they're doing). So at least my car will be driveable again.

On the downside though, the jerk that said he wanted the car was a flake since he went out and bought a new 06 this morning or some bullcrap like that. whatever. Maybe I'll fix my car up real nice before i sell it, and net a little more

Well... I may:-\ I'm still pretty far in debt on this car. I only make about $60 a week and not even all of that goes to paying the rather large sum of the motor/trans install. I am also leaving that job soon, so i'll have to find another one. We'll see how it goes i suppose

Yes i have but its not a fair comparision since his puts down 372 lbs of torque to the ground ... so its about 130 lbs more then a average bullitt.
