I even went as far as to buy a new rack and new control arms, also bought braided brake line and all that shit… motor wise, i got to build an equal lenth stainless turbo header… need to port the head, install new valve springs… got a sheet mel intake, and a new intercooler. use a mustang 4.6 tb… got je slugs/pauter rods and new bearings arp everything, as well as magencore wires and some toher goodies sitting on the shelf… then there is the build a whole new motor, which i have to take to machine shop still for machine work. then im going to build it… Plus dont forget i need to drop it in the car to finish wiring the engine bay, as im not sure where im mounting shit… then i have to tune it w/ a new efi system i have yet to use, but looks like i should handle well… plus i gotta do some other shit im forgetting… it will be out this summer… and thats just the basics… im also gotta run nitrous lines, seting it up as its own fuel system, but that is on the back burner for now. wanna get running first, then go back and hook up the wet kit and the intercooler sprayer… yeah, i got a shit load to do… ---
