Paulford8 Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 For a few years I have had a 1979 Mustang Cobra originally a 302 2v car. I wanted a 400HP motor and wanted to do it before I finished the body work and got it painted. With a new Coyote selling for 6K I decided that was my 400+HP motor. Wife is pissed but I am happy so all is good right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Showgun Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 OOOOLALA -- great engine for an old fox --- Kudos. Wives know that if we're happy then they're happy -- It'll grow on her, besides she'll want a new dress sometime soon and this will make it that much easier ........ --- and Valentine's day is just around the corner too: A great opportunity to make everything right.....:RpS_thumbsup: C.

During idle chit chat she mentioned that if I want to run the stang vs the SHO she would drive the SHO at the track.... Yes I want that race but I thought it would be a battle to get her to participate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Livernois Motorsports Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Awesome swap!! -Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulford8 Posted February 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 Awesome swap!! -Rick Thanks! I wish you guys were closer. I would love to bring it up for a dyno tune but it would probably be a 2 day trip... Going to try Anderson Ford Motorsports in Clinton IL, about 60 miles from me.

bpd1151 Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 You can always try Finish Line Performance in Naperville, IL. They're located on 111th, about one block West of Route 59. They do have 2 AWD dyno's (in addition to other dyno's) and did do all the tuning on my previous car builds. Pretty well known and are established. Speak with Mitch if you do try it.

Anderson Ford is reputable and does a good job. My only complaint is they use off the wall tuners (maybe their own brand?) that cost $600!!!!! That is just the tuner.... Then the dyno tune session is $200 on top of that. I bought the tuner just need to get in for a session. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I drove to Clinton IL to Anderson Ford Motorports and found they are using Diablo tuners. OK no problem right besides the $640 just for the tuner... Well yeah there are problems. Takes the guy 1.5 hours of fiddling, me call Ford Racing and him calling Diablo to figure out they dont mesh. Something a bit different about Ford racing software. I came home and plugged in my SCT reader from Livernois and it read the PCM. SO long story short I need to find an SCT tuner close by and take another day off work.

Paulford8 Posted February 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 +1 Don't paint it! Has an old school bad ass look to it!!! I would be with you guys except I have a few body issues I want to get fixed. Had a body guy look at and quote me an excellent price on making the whole thing straight and re-spraying it black. I have it re-painted black, put the cheesy 79 stickers back on, put some bullets in front of my mufflers to quit it down, take all of the stickers off, and sneak up on people. Either way people will get wise. That is unless I make my rounds to all the midwest tracks so I "surprise" new people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
