Hi All. Its been quite some time since I have been on the site but the collection of parts for the build has been growing.
I visited the USA in September and attended Drag Week. When I landed in L.A I picked up my hire car and made the drive up to Camerrillo and visited MMR and purchased a race prepped 5.4 Cobra Jet crankshaft and a set of MMR2500R flat top piston as well as billet chain guides and a few other odds and ends, that's when my road trip started as I then drove from Camerrillo to Tallmadge in Ohio and paid Summit Racing a visit and purchased a set of Carrillo rods with the Carr Rod Bolts.
While I was in Detroit I paid Team Z a visit and purchased quite a large order of parts. Basically I purchased everything I could for the front end and the rear end which included a braced 9" with a Strange Engineering Aluminium 35 spline centre with 3.4 to 1 Pro Gears and as well a 10 point molly cage.
I went with the Aerospace Front and Rear brake kits however the rear kit is for the large bearing Torino style bearing. This was done so as to have a rear parking brake assembly.
Also I have purchased a Holley Dominator EFI system with the Holley Digital Dash.
I made a visit to Billet Specialties and a set of Street Lite wheels were purchased which included a pair of SN95 single bead lock wheels for the rear.
The parachute and racing harness's have been purchased and were supplied by DJ Safety.
I have also purchased a ATI Powerglide Super Case and the adaptor bell housing to suit my 5.4 Modular.
I estimate I still have another $20k Australian to finish the Mustang and all going well come this time next year it should be on the track.
