    now that would be interesting to see a 4.6 2v with a carb and some valve covers that looked old school like a SOHC..

     

    I tried to fit a 98 DOHC in my 69 around 1999, but didnt want to cut my shock towers after welding in all the shock tower support pieces ... i currently have a Coyote motor sitting in the garage but still cant bring my self to cut the shock towers.... but the more i drive my car... the more i want to drive it every day!!

     

    a good link to 2v-4v mod motor measurements from sullivan performance.

     

    cant wait to see where you go with the build!!

     

    wow just read the Hot Rod article on the TFS heads.... looks like they made some canted valve heads for the 4.6... nice!

    I picked sonic blue from the 99-04 cobra. I just painted the engine bay last week and I am in love with it. stangme428. My coupe looks about the same as yours other then the duck tail fr500's and the bigger scoop. I have a stock height boss 9 scoop and big and little weld pro stars. I'll have it out this summer. NICE Car!

     

    awesome! yeah its a love hate relationship with my scoop... i may go with the stock boss 9 scoop...

    I stood around that car on Friday, thinking back I am pretty sure you and Chillininnh were standing there. Kept looking at it saying to myself I know that car from somewhere, planned to come back Saturday to talk but mother nature intervened. Would have been great to meet you both and some of the others in the group.

     

    funny i have the same pic.... and intended to stop by sat but we headed out also..

    Sorry to hear about your father, hopefully they get rid of the cancer with minimal chemo. That is awesome you go to take your father out in it for a ride, I bet you both were grinning from ear to ear the entire rest of the day!

     

    yup... smiles all day! battle starts today 4/23/14, chemo treatments begin! :thumbup:

     

    i still need to finish up some items as i noted in an earlier post... we never finish these cars... we get to tinker with them and learn new things all the time...lol:punk:

    Nice pics there, Stangme. Is this wooden cabin your home? Looks like the old school Canadian log build. Very nice!

    thanks... yup our log house in the middle of the woods... just cleared some land for a garage.. hope to have a few mustangs in it by mid august.. until then they will be stored in a friends garage...

     

    edit 8/17/14 - no garage/addition for now... comp sales are 76 sq ft and building is 91 sq ft ... time for a shop / garage barn raising to work on projects... starting my search for garage / shop plans.

    i have been out of pocket for a while... recuperating from shoulder surgery and life stuff.... my dad has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, so i wanted to take him for a ride in the 69 before he started chemo.... it wasn't easy with one arm (still healing, not allowed to use it yet) and 275/35x18 up front with a T56 6 speed... but i managed and he loved it... i "got on it" after turning around up the road a bit... after he warned me several times on the way up the street to.. not push it.. be careful.. dont screw up your shoulder.... after the quick burn out... he said... "this car is way to lite weight for this motor!!!" .. lol... good times...

    another positive note... he just got back from MD Anderson in Houston Easter Sunday and they think they can shrink it and kill the cancer.... it will always come back... but.. progress starts tomorrow with chemo...!!!

     

     

    those that have followed my build know what great friends i have!! bud Andy loaded up the 69 on a trailer, drove an hour to my house, dropped off the 69, we ate dinner and he took the trailer and headed out... no way i could have done this build, or take a ride with my dad without my friends and inspiration from this site!!! GOOD Times!!
