    I think extra-plush pink velour for the interior is right.

        I've been saving cash since October to swap a 427cid stroker into my 2012 Mustang (for you euro guys, that's a RCH (WIKI[^] under seven liters). As of this weekend, I've achieved a little more than 70% of my parts cost goal ($18k), which includes a Dart 4-bolt main block, AFR 205 aluminum heads, zero-balanced forged crank/rods/pistons, TrickFlow Stage 3 cam, Edelbrock RPM Air Gap dual-plane intake manifold, QuickFuel BDQ850 mechanical secondary carb, MSD ignition, and a Tremec T56 6-speed manual trans. It's gonna sound something like this when I'm done: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dILMgirAox4[^] The motor is gonna look something like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fts0Z1jaw5s[^] And it's gonna run something like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjrDhMxdaAs[^] The car in the linked videos current runs 9:30 in the 1/4 mile with nitrous, but my car probably won't be quite as fast because I'm building my car to go fast in the turns for longer than 9 seconds (and I won't be running nitrous). :) If you're not a car guy, you can safely go on about your business. I'm just trying to man-up the Lounge a little.

        Wait a sec....If I recall, and am too lazy to look up, you started with a sensible V6 (Ford-3.0L?) and now you want to move up to a 427 (6.0L )? That must need to replace the entire drive train?:confused: Ken

                  Actually, the numbers are 3.7 V6 to a 7-liter V8. Yes, everything except the radiator and rear end has to be changed.

                          There is that. I don't have the patience for body work. The endless sanding drives me crazy. However the metal work is fun.

                            You should have just bought my V8. (it's still for sale by the way, parked on the driveway while I drive the new car)
