Wilwood260-8556.

The motor has ford hotrod cams, shorty headers and of course the 2.3whipple. Drives better after the tune than it did stock.

Where did you get your driveshaft at? I'm getting close to that point and should probably get it ordered. Do you mind saying how much it was?
Are you not using the starter solenoid on the starter? I seen you have the stock one on the inner fender.
Thanks

I had a local driveshaft shop make it. I really don't remember what it cost but I think it was in the 300 range.

I'm just using the stock solenoid as a junction. Intended on getting rid of it for something else but it works.

Sweet build!!
Been over it a few times.
Maybe I missed it.....What was the back spacing on your rears? What size rubber on the front?

Did you end up rolling the front fenders?

Also got the oil pan switched to one from a crown Vic, as the mustang one didn't clear the crossmember. Tried to notch my factory transmission crossmember and make it work, but since the motor sits so much lower I think it's gonna be easier to fab up something. I'll have to do a little scrounging and come up with some steel to make it out of.

Nice build! I'm planning on doing the CV swap also. Just picked up an 07 PI. Question for ya, what vehicle did you order the headers for? CV or 2007 Mustang? I want to get a set myself. Thanks

Does it look like you could have went with long tube mustang headers? I did the front clip and drive line in my 69 bump and was wondering if the long tube mustang headers would clear the steering
