Re: 88 mustang modification

so you know no little 302 was up to the task, we commissioned Creb Engineering out of Ohio to build us a 347 stroker with a forged bottom end! 9.8:1 compression and a Trick Flow stage II bump stick!

Re: 88 mustang modification

so this is my idea for stripes. except it will say BOSS 347. the car will be gloss black, the idea is to spray satin black where we want the stripes. have my graphics shop make decals, apply them, paint the car in gloss, then peel them! ghost stripes!
the last pic is what my customer wants embroidered on the front seatbacks (upholstered in dark grey engineered leather.

Re: 88 mustang modification

we found a ton of bondo covered sins in the rear quarters. so it was decided that new skins were needed!

Re: 88 mustang modification

the new headers arrived so we tossed them on, detailed the engine bay, and installed the engine.

Re: 88 mustang modification

we put on some fancy valve covers. and to handle the increased cubes, we went from stock 19lb/hr injectors to Bosch 36lb/hr. and from the stock 60mm throttle body to a Steeda 75mm billet one! and we got rid of the 5.0 nameplate in favor of a billet Ford Racing one!
