started ripping out the old motor today , will be out tomorrow ... hopefully the new motor will atleast be in tomorrow and bolted down , the other stuff will have to wate till my next days off ( kinda bummed because it wont be done in time for the telegraph cruise ) shit happens i guess , my old motor will be for sale in the next day or so ( bone stock 302 , pretty much a short block with heads ) i thought the old motor burned oil but it was a valve cover leak that dripped on the exhaust when i got on it ,., new motors a 0.60 over with speed pro pistons and B cam , looking for a set of gt40 heads and 1.6RRs for it , im sticking with the fuel injection , should run real nice once shes done , ill post pictures tomorrow of my progress and the motors and what not
 
cars also getting a battery relocation to the trunk and a fuel cell in the trunk ( fuel cell wont be for another few weeks thow )
 
got the old motor out today , got rid of all the a/c crap and cleaned the shit out of the engine bay , wont be able to work on it for another week ( stupid hours at work ) next week thow im going to trim the stock bracket to get rid of the a/c compressor and still be able to have the power stearing on the same bracket , new motor will be in this wednesday and be running this thursday , i took pics but my phone is a dumb phone and it takes to long to get them off my phone and on my photobucket , if i get bored tomorrow at work ill post them

got the new motor installed today , tomorrow i just got to bolt the intakes on , headers , bolt the TQ converter up , and plug in all the electrical shit , should be ready for a test fire tomorrow if my buddy comes threw and helps me out ....... i got a little ahead of myself and bolted the new motor in without changing the front cover , any tips on getting the crank bolt out ( no use of air tools ) , hardest part tomorrow thow will be getting the crank bolt out of the new motor and swapping the covers , ill post a pic in a sec of the new motor sitting in its new home
 
got alot more done today , i wish i had like 2-3 more hours to mess with it and she would be done , all that needs to be done is the drivers side bracketry , stab in the dizzy and make a few more conections ,., ill post a video of the car running as soon as shes done
 
i know this isnt going to be a huge high HP car but its deffinatly going to need a tune , im right around the corner from livernois ( detroit speed shop ) the one on gulley and michigan ave , any idea how much there gonna charge me ?
 
so i got back from indiana today kinda early so i finished up the mustang , SHE RUNS !!! probable still need to button a few things up but the hard parts done , still need to hit it with a timing light ( have it set to the factory 10* mark ) but i still dont think its right , ill pull it tomorrow and see if im a tooth off and hit it with the light , seems like timing is way off like my old motor was , still need to put a new fuel pump and regulator in her because i think the pumps on its last leg and a new regulator wouldnt hurt either


ill post a video of her running tomorrow morning before i go to work , im actually suprized i dont have a CEL because of the cam thats in it and i dont have a idle surge either like i thought i would , so far the computer seems happy
 
Drive it lol 94-95 computers are known for being really picky my brother simple bolt on car no power adder needs a tune. Get that bitch going if you need any advice lmk my brother (huge bookworm) has done all of the research and knows these cars pretty well.
