My Mustang is externally pretty much stock, there's supposed to be a front spoiler which I removed because it rubbed on the pavement when going through the dip at the end of my road, it had louvers on the rear side windows which prevented me from cleaning the glass and looked too disco era for me, I replaced the cable operated outside mirrors with 89 Escort electric mirrors that stay adjusted, the hood scoop is from a 83-4 Mustang because I needed a wider one to cover the hole in the hood for air filter clearance, the font on the side stripe letters is wrong-the letters are supposed to be more square, there's supposed to be Cobra stickers on the rear of the front fenders(also too disco era),and obviously the 15x6 and 15x8 Weld Draglites aren't original, I didn't think 195/70r13's were enough tire. The engine is a 1986 roller block with ported 96 Explorer GT40 heads, speedpro pistons, Isky cam,Performer intake with a 4160 Holley.The stock exhaust manifolds mated to the heads after 4 hours of die grinder "adjustment" and flow into a 2 1/2" exhaust instead of the 1 3/4" system Ford installed. I turned the front bearing retainer on the T5 down on our brake lathe so it would slide into the Mustang II bellhousing, the 36lb stock flywheel was lightened 8lbs and rebalanced to work with the late engine, The driveshaft is aluminum and the 8 inch rear has 3.55 gears and an Auburn Pro limited slip. 13.8@ 102 mph at New England Dragway and driven 90 miles to and from the track.
