    I like the fact it is 7k capable as is......with room to spare
    11 to 1 comp ratio....i would like to see one about 13.5 to 1 on corn fuel E85 play with the cam timing and full length headers and maybe a ram air set up I am thinking 500 hp easy

    Does the Coyote also run a wideband O2? I was thinking it did for some reason.

    Did some more cutting and welding last night. Nothing spectacular, but it's something. Engine bay will hopefully look pretty cool when it's all said and done.

    Also, found a local guy willing to sell his mustang cobra IRS cradle for cheap. Once I get that, I can square up the front cross member to the cradle, and make sure it also squares with the body. Then, once I know it's all square and true, I can weld it up.

    Well, I picked up the IRS cradle this weekend. There is a guy upgrading his cobra, so I get his leftovers for cheap! It's sitting in the garage now and I and soooo geeking out about this now. I'm finally getting all the parts together that I need to finish off the major chassis work.

    As soon as this crappin snow melts, I'll be able to clean out and re-organize the garage so I can work on this car easier. Right now, the back seat and some other crap is taking up the space I need to install this IRS cradle.

    I see lots more cutting and welding in my future.

    Adam have you ever checked out Pro-touring.com? There are 2 guys I know of right now that are putting the Cobra IRS in a Mustang and a Torino. Both have some good ideas for mounting them up. Might want to check it out if you havent already.

    Picture page, it's picture page, it's time to make a picture page...

    See if you can guess what this tangle of tubing is supposed to be.

    Give up? It's my new (to me) mustang cobra IRS cradle. Woo hoo!! Last piece of the chassis/frame puzzle! Now, as soon as this dog gone snow melts I can put some junk outside and get this thing mocked up in the car.
