Awesome car and an awesome guy! The wing makes it even better!

I am using the OEM single piston Mustang brakes with drilled rotors. Stops wonderful now with the hydroboost.

I will take some pictures of that and post them as soon as I get a good chance. I am happy with the results, some people wouldn't want to use a 4" hole saw on their car though. HaHa

I was sorta expecting it to squeal but it is actually doing great so far. I put good quality belts on it because I knew I was "pushing the limits" for a V belt. I plan to swap to serpentine in the future

Thanks. I'm envious of your overdrive. Maybe one day. I really need to wait and answer this after I put some miles on the car. I was happy with the FiTech, so I'm not expecting some drastic change. It does seem to have better/faster throttle response than the FiTech did. One of the cool...

It is actually a tractor alternator. It works well. There was a member on another forum that suggested it so I gave it a try.

I had to relocate the A/C compressor due to the new EFI setup. I didn't like any of the offerings in a V belt setup and I didn't need to spend the money on a serpentine setup right now. So I just built my own A/C compressor brackets and mounted it under the alternator.

I agree with what has already been mentioned by the others.

I also put KYB shocks on the car a few years back and this winter I ordered the Fox adjustable shocks that Hotchkiss sells. I have them on the car now, but haven't been able to road test them yet.

When I built the 440 and installed it I used a FiTech throttle body EFI unit. It worked great and I didn't have issues with it, but I wanted to upgrade to true Multi-port EFI that was a little more customizable and offer more inputs for the timing map for spark control. (I had the FiTech...

When I was restoring the car I just put some "knock off" Flowmasters on it and dumped the exhaust in front of the axle. This winter I bought one of the complete exhaust kits from Pypes. The kit is stainless steel with a X pipe and the part # is SMB10. I also put Borla Pro XS mufflers on it...

Thanks. I have been around for a while, just haven't posted very much

I put everything new as far as brakes go (stainless steel lines, master cylinder, vacuum booster, ect) but I was never satisfied with the brakes so this winter I put on a hydroboost booster. Wow what a difference. I would never consider going back to vacuum power brakes. I would probably...

When I went through the car to restore it (just finished spring of 2019) I put QA1 front suspension and Hotchkis lowering leaf springs, torque boxes, subframe connectors, lower front brace, Borgeson steering, front and rear sway bars, 14" front brakes (shown) and 12" rear disc.
