^^^ Thanks NonHog!!! I'm pretty excited about it too. I've had a BUNCH of Fox body Mustangs, but always wanted a unique vintage Ford with the newer drivetrain. And this car sorta 'happened'.

Today was spent assembling the new short block. .40 over with 3.400 crankshaft and 5.4" rods actually calculates out to a 349 (roughly), so with the new aluminum heads, Trickflow hydraulic roller cam and Trickflow EFI intake setup, the WWW seems to calculate about 425-450 crankshaft HP. That should be pretty peppy in this light little chassis. I'll post up some pics tomorrow before & after paint and finally assembly (heads & such).
