[QUOTE]Originally posted by 83notcher: [QB] here is a progression I thought I would share with you guys just to show you it is possible to go mid 13s with a stock gutted foxbody on a budget :D for starters I found a killer deal for a gutted 1983 notchback mustang on Craigslist for $800 with a T5 transmission, full roll cage in it with custom welded in subframe connectors and stiffened up as much as possible, fresssh 2011 GT white paint job, No motor but I had one from my previous 5.0 This was the first day I bought it. As I said a killer deal!!

[URL=http://s1336.photobucket.com/user/chris7210/media/IMG_20120726_151542_zpsd218aac9.jpeg.html] [IMG]http://i1336.photobucket.com/albums/o659/chris7210/IMG_20120726_151542_zpsd218aac9.jpeg[/IMG][/URL] went for the sleeper look for the first time out to sac raceway. with stock ten holes with OLD ASS HARD TIRES [URL=http://s1336.photobucket.com/user/chris7210/media/IMG_20130207_104122_zps14562efa.jpeg.html] [IMG]http://i1336.photobucket.com/albums/o659/chris7210/IMG_20130207_104122_zps14562efa.jpeg[/IMG][/URL] First run of eliminations not getting any traction on OLD street tires and running pig rich, only had enough power to need 3 gears haha, dont remember the time but it was running mid 15s all night. I know very slow but it was my first night out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qW2eroQEiBo another run http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJm5Bbu48DI By this time i was amazed i was goin rounds. before I knew it I was in the semis and this is the winning run of the night since at the finals the pontiac formula i was goin to run bailed, I guess he was scared to get beat by shitty running 5.0 haha http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTpmKPIQgaA The next day after still not believing i won the first night out I desired to up the performance. hit up craigslist and found a GT40 upper and lower intake with BBK 70MM throttle body and bbk shorty headers for the amazing price of $150. then I bought a brand new BBK fuel pressure regulator, and of course intake gaskets...I used the stock header gaskets. and got to work. here is a picture with the all parts installed plus a DIY ram air goin thru the middle head light [URL=http://s1336.photobucket.com/user/chris7210/media/IMG_20130105_143055_zpsae2a10b2.jpeg.html] [IMG]http://i1336.photobucket.com/albums/o659/chris7210/IMG_20130105_143055_zpsae2a10b2.jpeg[/IMG][/URL] Then i hit up craigslist for slicks found a killer deal for weld drag lites with skinnies up front and a brand new set of Hoosier 26x9x15 full slick for $400 :eek: [URL=http://s1336.photobucket.com/user/chris7210/media/CAM00098_zps05164570.jpeg.html] [IMG]http://i1336.photobucket.com/albums/o659/chris7210/CAM00098_zps05164570.jpeg[/IMG][/URL] Now it was time to go to the track with timing bumped to 14 and fuel pressure set to 39 PSI. I pulled off a blistering run of 13.54 at 102 MPH http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LT_NeAU6oKo since then I have upgraded the rear control arms with adjustables, Lakewood 90/10 shocks up front, adjustable KYBs in the rear, E fan, extra stuff here and there and i got it down to a 13.43 1.70s 60 foots. after all is said and done im into the car I would say around $2,500. not bad for a unopened 5.0 block with a cashiers salary (= thanks for looking CA fords [/QB][/QUOTE]
