So after months of collecting parts & selling old parts its finally starting to look like a motor. Just a few small thing to take care of then I'll be dropping it in. What do you guys think? I went a different route on the color this time.

I still have a few things to do the inside & out.
Install TQ arm, relocate battery, seat's & harness & Autometer guages

Im running a Hitech Renegade Stage 2 Cam. The only reason I did was because the upper & lower actually have a different color coating on them. It bugged me. I still have to paint the stripes and the letters Flat Aluminum so it pops. http://hitechmotorsport.com/performance-shop/ford-performance-shop/ford-performance-parts/ford-performance-camshafts/302-camshafts?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&pro duct_id=69&category_id=69

What size are those heads? 185's? Motor looks good I actually wanted those valve covers but hated how both had holes for oil.

Thanks. Yeah they are the 185's. Yeah I wasn't to thrilled about having the hole but I made it work with the spacer.

Lookin great Jay! That car is going to rip!!

Only thing I'd do differently are the injectors. Bumb em up to 30s just to play it safe. You'll love yourself later lol.

Oh ok then.. my bad bro haha.

Not trying to tell you what to do, but personally I've seen MANY Pro-Ms malfunction by giving cars bad idles and incorrect timing curves. I would run an SCT ba2400 just to know for sure that you'll be safe and you'll have no chance of detonation.

Right on. Well since my car came with Tweecer installed. We are gonna give it a go. From what I have read they are specifically made to run with ProM MAF's. We'll see how it goes.

lol, trying bro. Still need to install the TQ arm & springs. We are probably gonna give a few shake downs at some auto X before we hit the track. I need to sell my Recaro seat so I can get a set of matching aluminium seats.

No for the most part the interior will be gutted besides the new black carpet. Why?
