whats is your idea on exhaust? dumps or out the back? if you decide to run it out the back that valance is going to give you trouble.

Mine is dumped and its loud with a little 302 and 2-1/2 exhaust. Most my neighbors give me dirty ass looks when i start it up and let it idle in drive way.. Its always fun driving thru parking lots setting off car alarms... ![[Wink]](wink.gif)

haha yeah, i like how my GT sounds. I am hoping the 532 has more of a cam sound to it with the GTs sound. Deep and bassy.
I keep posting the rear of the car no complete so here it really is complete, although the chrome strip on the trunk lid won't stay so i don't know what to do about that but you can't tell in the pics

what is the connection like? i had to put a little piece of black tape around the clips that slid thru the trim to get a tighter fit. Hate repo parts...

Just some more pics
Was going to install the engine on sunday but came to find out the clutch pressure plate bolts i got are the wrong ones ![[Frown]](frown.gif) Should be getting the right ones tomorrow but i started work today so that means less hours to work on the car.
As you can see my Laser Red Paint is darker red than Fords.

Quick and dirty update, motor won't fit because of the bellhousing is hitting the firewall/floor So we're going to cut the firewall out and then put the motor back in and fit the firewall around the bellhousing.

Had to cut out the firewall a lot to get this beast to fit right. Just need to weld up the firewall now and repaint it black and then i can leave the motor in for good.
