nice nice.... i just ordered the heidts 4 link and mustang 2 IFS deluxe package and subframe connectors for my 66.... cant wait for it to get here.... i was thinking of going with the RRS 3 link but the $3500 price tag was just a little too much for me

You going to love it

i sure hope so...... and i'm sure you're going to love yours..... next on my list is a t56 conversion, sick of running the c-4....

I’m going to do EFI conversion to SN95 computer and use AODE with tweecer I will be able to control shift rpm.
I was thinking about t56 but I’m tired of missing the 3rd gear and replacing clichés 1ns a year

sounds nice to me....i'm not a big AOD fan but thats because my very first car i ever owned was an 87 mustang 4cyl with an AOD and that transmission was trouble, weighed too much for the engine and it was slipping at 50k....... but a lot of guys like the AODs or at least the aftermarket ones

It better be a very good AOD to handle 800-900 hp.
While we are talking about hp you do know the 5.0 blocks are only good to about 450-475 hp.
The earlier 70's blocks will handle a little more,maybe 500.
I hope you have a aftermarket to handle this hp.

erik i know thats the standard but when theres turbos and stuff it changes the ballpark.... i've seen quite a few turbo 5.0s do over 1000hp to the wheels with the stock block.... you just gotta make sure shes tuned in just right.... as long as the pressure is exchanging out of the block fast enough you're ok..... but i would reccomend 4 bolt mains be added to help get some strength.... and the best of the best be used on all internals....... but yes its best to use an aftermarket block.... and with ford racings new boss 302 block being sold for $1700 its well worth every penny

"It changes the ball park ??"
Are $hitting me??
A 1,000 hp on a stock 5.0 block??
Talk about a bomb.
"Tuned right"?? have you been on the Corral forum again??
Half those guys can't find their a$$ with both hands.
If I can pull the front cylinders out of round just by bolting on a water pump on a .030 over bore I am sure not going to try to use a 5.0 block.
Please don't even try and give some BS story about a seeing quite a few 5.0 blocks do over 1,000 hp at the rear wheels.
Even a stock block 454 BBC with a 4 bolt main becomes shaky at 1,000 hp.
I was born at night but not last night.
Now where did I leave my BS spray.L.O.L.
