Saturday Night Videos?

Finally got a chance to upload some videos from back in April when my buddy brought his '88 turbocoupe up. Some of his and two of my '93 Mustang. They are uploaded in 1080 so click on the youtube link to get them full size. Love that blower whine.

Vortech 'A' trim supercharger, 65mm throttle body, ported cobra intake, Edelbrock performer aluminum heads, BBK longtubes to mandrel bent exhaust. FMS 'E' cam, 1.72 roller rockers, Crane ignition, Autozone shortblock. Hand built instrument cluster, supercharger plumbing, hand fabbed exhaust. GT mustang springs and polished wheels. 3.55 gears and long wheelbase makes for a great long distance cruiser.

This started in 2007 when a neighbor stopped over with a beat up black '87 cougar 5.0 with a rod knock. Asked what he wanted the car to be, was told 'basic nice cruiser'. Recommended a Autozone mustang spec'd reman'd 302, add a set of 1.72 rollers, BBK shorty headers and a speed density mustang processor with 19lb injectors.

That lasted about a month, then the 'I want more' and 'what's next' nagging started. Ended up swapping in the powdercoated Cobra intake and 65mm throttle body. Then in went a Cobra mass air conversion with 24lb injectors, then n went the heads and 'E' cam, then somewhere in there we spent a day in the junk yard grabbing the clutch pedal out of another T-coupe and we swapped in a '93 WC spec T5 and Hurst shifter. Somewhere in there as well the whole exhaust was changed out to longtubes and hand fabbed mandrel bent 2.5" pipes. About a week after the 5 speed swap in the Cougar he found this '88 Tcoupe fr $500 less brakes. One ice cube relay and it had brakes so two weeks later the Cougar was scrapped and the T-coupe was built. Add gauges, change out the dash and interior for better and here it sits. There's a fully loaded rust free blue '88 T-coupe waiting to get all this stuff put in it now. It never ends...

My '93 Mustang, 302, 5 speed with 3.55 gears with the SAAC emblems and engine dress. Looking a little long in the tooth, five year paint lasted almost ten years. Taking it for a quick ride.

Bought it in 2000 for $6k and 78k miles with the SAAC sticker set emblems on the steering wheel and qtr windows. Had a '94 date coded Paxton SN ball drive, polished GT40 intake, 65mm throttle body, FMS shorty headers and bolt in subframe connectors. PO didn't know it needed to run on high octane fuel. Pulled the engine apart because it was puking oil out the breather. Found several pistons with broken ring lands. Basic rebuild .030 bore with forged pistons, later added a set of AFR 185 heads, ported and straightened the GT40 intake, Crane torque cam and full boost retard ignition. Made new stainless plumbing for the blower. Added BBK longtubes, a custom X pipe and MAC mufflers with 3" stainless tips. Wheels are ROH. Made a vent guage pod and some other odds and ends. Put over 100k on it and it still runs good. About due for a restoration. Engine dyn'd at 390 RWHP and 400 torque, ran 11.97 @ 118mph with just a set of ET streets.
