This disgusting place is where the supercharged 5.0 will do its work.  The new wiring harness has been laid in.  A 1988 Mustang brake booster and master cylinder installed to help update the brake system.


This is a wonderful picture of the master at work!!  Here we see him "clearancing" the hood for the 1988 style windshield wiper motor.  According to Vinnie "the new steering column has an intermittent wiper feature so why shouldn't I make it work".

Vinnie trying to drive.  Actually he is testing the "feel" of the new 1987-1993 Mustang dash for the first time.

Here is a picture of Vinnie cutting the axle tubes for the installation of NHRA required C-Clip Eliminators.  You can also see the South Side Lift Bars (lower control arms).   Not seen in this shot are the Steeda Autosports upper control arms.

For a rear he is using  a 31 spline 8.8 Traction Loc with 3.55 gears. A Downs Ford rear girdle is used for added support.

This is just a basic boring picture to take up space.
If you look at the wheel lugs you can see they are extra long to meet NHRA requirements.  They must pass completely through the rim and lug.
