[QUOTE]Originally posted by 532Fastback: [QB] I cut the floorboards to install subframe connectors [IMG]http://www.mustangmods.com/ims/u/700/8226/194867.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.mustangmods.com/ims/u/700/8226/196742.jpg[/IMG] After finding out 427s with their 450hp were 12,000 dollars i found out about the Ford crate motor 514ci. When i tried getting one of these Ford told me they only make these motors seasonally and i'd have to wait a whole year for their next batch. I found an engine company that said they could build me a 514 so i ordered one. It turned out they couldn't get a 514 crank so they upgraded the crank for free to a 532. I got Edlebrock heads and an intake for it and i am running the Ford 514ci cam which is a .588 intake and .614 exhaust. The engine shop believed with the combo i wanted to put on it would produce around 600HP N/A I am going to run a Holley 1050 carb on it which brings me back to my Hood. [IMG]http://www.mustangmods.com/ims/u/700/8226/208011.jpg[/IMG] With the engine in and no carb the top part of the intake is even with the bottom part of the hood. [IMG]http://www.mustangmods.com/ims/u/700/8226/221843.jpg[/IMG] We measured it and i will need about a 6 inch cowl hood to clear the carb and airfilter. I got some custom long tube headers made for a 460 in a 68 Fastback which i will need to redo the front pipe for the engine mount location [IMG]http://www.mustangmods.com/ims/u/700/8226/209610.jpg[/IMG] 2/14/08 we painted the interior again [IMG]http://www.mustangmods.com/ims/u/700/8226/222819.jpg[/IMG] 2/15/08 we masked off the entire body and will be spraying primer on it tomorrow. [IMG]http://www.mustangmods.com/ims/u/700/8226/222820.jpg[/IMG] Then if everything comes out how i believe it will after the block sanding of the entire body we will paint the exterior Laser Red found on 98 Cobras like my dad's Cobra. [IMG]http://www.mustangmods.com/ims/u/700/2549/168974.jpg[/IMG] I will post updates as i move along in my build of my 1968 Mustang 532 Fastback :) [/QB][/QUOTE]
