    By the way he talked about your pick-up, It will much better than our cars. :yup:

    Last saturday we got the engine in and wired all up It's running now.Today (monday) we made the transmission mount and started playing with the clutch, now he has to send the drive shaft out to be shorten 2 inches.
    He's business partner just picked up a 74 mav from North Carolina the car is in great shape you'll see it there next time you come by.

    Some progress was made so far this month.
    The engine is in place and running (not all completed yet) the T5 is in place, He used the mustang's drive-shaft, it had to be shorten 2 inches. He's using heddman's shorty headers, an H pipe from the stang and flow masters that were on the stang.The engine sounds good and strong.

    A little Update!

    So, I got some new pics, I will start with the fiber glass hood he got dirt cheap! but that thing was so poorly made that they had to do some serious work on that. They cut the grabber middle part of the fiberglass hood and inserted in to his stock hood they also trimmed the fiber so they could use real hood scoops and it Came out AWESOME!

    AWESOME is a word that doesn't even come close to describing that hood - that is one of the best "Grabber" hoods that I've ever seen :bowdown:
