Hi NATO!
Well, as you all know patience is a virtue......
Finally, she's up and running.....
New long block, with Mustang GT E7 Heads and HO cam ('84 spec) with.... drum roll, my polished Turbo Coupe rims. She's basically an '84 Mustang GT now.
I pay homage to my '88 TC by putting on a set of Snowlakes on her. Since I've never seen an '84 cougar with them on, I thought I'd give them a try.
(the rims were salvaged from a TC someone was parting out and the michelins came off of a 2001 Buick Park Avenue that recently met it's demise. It had 225 / 60 / 16's in it which were dam near new, so I swapped them onto the snowflakes.
I love it when a plan comes together!
See ya'll at Carlisle!

Quick question, in your signature, you show a 5.0L Thunderbird. Which one are you bringing to Carlisle? The TC or 5.0L? Just wondering.
