I like everything except the hood stack. I think I'd do a fender exit.

^^^WHS Im a mustang guy and I love it, but the exhaust had the easy button pushed. Im feeling pro 5.0-style side fender exit... It would need to be behind the tire to not let smoke block the beams at the track.

I like the hood stack. I'd say space for anything different would be pretty tight on a mustang.

I had plans to do rear exit factory style tail pipes, actually have them and may still but I wanted it to make a statement. there's no way I'm cutting a hole in the fender.I can fix the hood and repaint it in no time being fiberglass and only one color.start to finish in the booth,the paint took 22 hours.with 100 hours in body work before that easily.I will say one thing, when you spend 3 years building a car like this, you might push the easy button a time or 2.

DOn't you have a truck laying around that you can pull one out of? :D


doesnt matter, if it makes a legit 500 to the wheels its going to be fast


That'd be mid to low 11's depending on launch.

Super bad A$$. I was kind of hoping for a normal car getting this conversion just so I could ask more questions. This is awesome. I have always loved the thought of a 6.0 Mustang. I would get simple badges made that said 6.0, just like the 5.0 badges. Awesome build. I plan on reading it for the rest of the day st work. LOL

Let him bear the palm who has won it

That thing is awesome, you should put a gooseneck hitch in the trunk, then you could really *** with people


Sent from in a ditch up side down and on fire with the wheels still spinning

We determined the lack of a maf sensor was causing the pcm to go into emission safe mode and cut fuel.not wanting to pay an exorbitant price for the bung to mount one in 4 inch tube I made one..Just gotta weld it up tonight.hope this fixes the issue.

That is awesome! You'rs looks like mine too! only a lot cleaner!, I notched the pipe, and set a piece of 3/8" flat stock in.

Great work man! :thumbup:

Well I got rid of the maf code but didn't fix the defueling issue.I have codes for the fan circuit,egr, and speed sensor.I'm now thinking the lack of an abs module and speed sensors is causing the issue.is there any way to turn off the abs? The other option is to try flashing the pcm to an econoline program.the e series uses the oss to calculate speed and didn't use a vss in the rearend.but,i have no idea if the pcm or harness is compatible...last resort I'm looking at minimum adding the module and a rear speed sensor which I have none of...Might be able to put a tone wheel on the driveshaft yoke.
