The GTX55 is for another build.. I have a few things to finalise on tje black car first though... We welding on the new EGT fittings onto the exhaust manifold, and we're currently waiting for it and the two 4202 exhaust housings to return from ceramic coating..  

 

Once here, the new box, clutch, tailshaft  and egt's  will be installed. 

 

I'm currently looking into making a new top for the KPM 1500hp fuel module, so that I  can run two terminal banks and stage the pumps.. We're apprensive of them being capable of getting to 1000hp, so I might run a boostet or change pumps.

That's going to be a beast to tune :wwww:

 

Indeed it will be. It will likely be managed by an Elite 2500.. 

 

I also collected the rear calipers the other day. I blasted them and has my paint guy weave some magic on them.   The fronts should be back soon also...

Haha I gathered that after an hour and a half or so of reading. 

 

Props man, I'm pretty sure you've dedicated more time and effort to your ford than I have to breathing or sleeping! 

 

I hear what you say about your daughter, they need their dad's. Mine had a 20 minute cuddle after her nap today. She's only two.

 

I'm looking forward to seeing your endeavor come to fruition.

Out with the old, in withthe new....  The T56 Magnum, Mal Wood option 6 clutch and tsilshaft have been installed.  I had a delay, as I  had to order a larger diff yoke to match the tailshaft.  All in all, I'm a happy man.
