    Hey all,

    Been a long time since i have been here - actually was the old board i think it was the last time i posted. An update on my grabber - Almost done.... Since last time, we installed a 1988 roller moter with a E303 cam, topped it with a holley carb, weiand intake, headers. The heads are still the 88 stock units, i will be looking for a set to boost flow and compression up after awhile. Mallory ignition, bunch of look pretty stuff on the motor now. We are just now finishing up the T5 tranny install - that is a fun job. All in all however i am looking forward to a fun ride. I seem to remember how fast the car used to feel - can not wait to put new found power thru a modern 5 speed tranny in a older car. Even if the engine doesn't make more then the 1974 stock motor - the 5 speed should prove to make the car a fun ride :)

    do you have pics? I am now considering parting out my beloved 5.0 injected stang for the engine and t-5 to put in my mav. I am also wondering how you have done the whole clutch thing.
