    image.jpeg image.jpeg image.jpeg image.jpeg image.jpeg This car was my fathers, he has had it since '83. I have grew up in this thing. Took us from car show to car show. He always had a million other things to do and never any time for the car. I have been car crazy since I could work. The car has a 351m with 400 internals, Comp cams mutha thumpr, long tubes, Holley 650, 3500 stall with a c4. not sure where I'm going with it, but I'm sure it's not going to be very street able by the time I am done. bad habit of mine lol I have a 2012 mustang GT 634rwhp, 673tq, but I have shifted my focus onto restoring the ranchero. He passed suddenly about a year ago leaving the car in pretty bad shape. So here I am making her whole again to try to fill the void. I've been posting various threads in search of help and I couldn't be more thankful to everyone helping! thank you! my car is a little more simple, you plug a computer in and tune it nice to meet you guys! image.jpeg image.jpeg image.jpeg

    That sure is nice, and the Ranchero's no slouch either. :^))

    thanks Andy! it's hard thinking the ranchero is quick when you hop out if the mustang, but it moves! lol

    I would love to have even just a mild V8 Mustang (convertible would be t!ts), but I'm sure, with my lead foot, I'd start racking up tickets again.

    Part of it might be maturity, but I have found that the more HP I have, the less I am likely to use it.
    If you got it, you have nothing to prove.
    Now, on the other hand, in the right situation with a worthy adversary, I will go there.
