Well since the 5.0's are coming out of the woods I thought maybe it was time to share a build in progress. This is a driver (not a track car) we are building for a customer.



Specs: 65 Mustang coupe
New 5.0 crate from Ford Racing
RS 500 5-speed trans
TCI Suspension front & rear
Wilwood Brakes
Boze wheels

More to come!

Leaning towards the 2011 Mustang charcoal silver but have not made a final decision yet.

Are you going to run Scott's Boze Lateral-G wheels or another style?

Hadn't had the time to find others doing this conversion. Will be following. What are people doing about the electric steering?

Thanks,

Ford Racing released power steering pump for the 5.0 that replaces where the AC comp goes. I believe Sean Hyland also released his own version of it as well.
