Thats a cool build. It will go mids 11s for sure. Might need to change some things to get into the 10s though. Or spray it

never know may surprise a few people ! LOL...... it just kills me to get on here and 460ford.com and see mustangs with 460's with aluminum heads over greared and stalled stuck in the 11's ! i have a buddy that does a lot of bbf swaps and he says low 11's to high 10's is possible. i've seen low compression smoggers run high to mid 11's with rv cams and stock heads. so yeah i have higher hopes and the tuning ability ! but i will keep you guys posted. Thanks

No im not saying its not possible. Ive been 12.0s with a d0ve headed 466 9.5:1 with a hyd cam, 850, victor, 1 7/8 headers 3.70 gears and my truck is 4200lbs.

Droppedf100: do you have a link to the thread on your truck? i was looking for it but couldnt find it.

thread hijak complete

well doesn't look like i made much progress but i have been fighting with the steering and headers all day ! also i did get the trans cooler mounted and the lines ran.i did try to crank the engine and found out my brand new factory mini starter is grinding really badly, found out its a MT one ! but here are some pictures !!!

well i got my 3/8 aluminum fuel line run, pump mounted and gas tank dropped. i got drowned in gas and half the garage covered. to beat it all it was old stinky gas and it burned me up ! found out why the old fuel pump didn't work, it was rusted real bad they must have gotten bad gas somewhere. i'm going to run a 3/8 brake line down to the bottom of the tank and leave ot about 1/4" off the bottom, always worked before . well heres a few pictures !

well yesterday i made more progress , i drained all the old gas out of the tank and cleaned the black cover that goes on the bottom, also ran rubber line from the main line to the pump. i am trying to stuff my 6al and multi retard box were the old computer was or it may go under the passenger seat. hopefully i will get my starter back tomorrow so i can get it installed.

yeah front sway bar is gone and i have a buddy that s going to finish doing the seam welds ! i also have some adjustable uppers to put on it !

Is that a white Conquest TSI ?

nope "silver" ! it's my buddys, he has everything to put it together. i don't know what he is waiting on.

Hey guys i got the motor started, i do have a few problems though, the real seal is pouring and my trans is leaking out the front somewhere and i have a noise thats kinda odd under 2500 rpms. kinda like a clack thumping hitting sound, me and a few buddy's think its just the header noise seeing as i don't have any exhaust on the car yet ! but the motor sounds very healthy and revs like a small block !
