    Those towers look awesome! Are you planning a tech article on the towers for us without skills? This looks a lot better than the traditional "shave".

    I agree, it looks a ton better than notching the towers!:thumbs2:

    What are you going to be using for alignment specs, Mustang or find it as you go?

    I'm real interested in seeing how this turns out as it looks like the 351W I have sitting here would have no issues what so ever in the engine compartment and the steering / handling would be much better!:yahoo:

    looks just like mine, but im planning to do a wire tuck so that it looks clean. just curious, how are you going to put in the motor and tranny? as one piece or or tranny first, then motor?

    cause i have a c4 transmission and i would think it would be hard to line up the torque converter to the flexplate.

    looking good by the way.:thumbs2::thumbs2:

    Ill put it together as one whole piece, wire tuckk was done after this picture since with the new towers there is no room for it to go over the top.

    Looks nice Mr Dirt. With all the time you spend transforming your car I have come to conclude that there must not be a Mrs. Dirt. If I spent that much time on my cars my wife would make me choose, the cars or her.

    if you could figure out how to put some ford valve covers over the coil packs, nobody would figure out what you have.
