You've got a lot of parts stashed away.

Those 24lb injectors should be fine with GT40 heads. Save the 30lb injectors. If you ever go with better flowing aluminum heads you'll need them (my car did).

There is only 6 30lb injectors.  I don’t know if I will ever go the aluminum head route.  Probably switch engine platforms before that.

30lb injectors are probably from a Thunderbird SC, since you only have 6.

I've thought about Coyote swaps. By the time I get all required parts/a new transmission I might as well go Dart 363 and be done with it.

But, that 363 is pretty much at a ceiling, whereas the Coyote design isn't even close to it's peak yet..

If it weren't a question of money, my next project would be a Coyote. Or even a 32v...

Still plugging away, been buying parts more than working on the car.  Finally tracked down the correct tunnel piece for a t5 over a floor shift auto.

So I started cleaning the carpet because its filthy.  Soaked and scrubbed in purple power and then power washed.  I'm in the works of purchasing a new heater box from 50racer to install in the car because mine is awful.

Nice, been a long time since I posted on the forums. Had trouble with sign on for awhile, and basically gave up. Decided to drop in and check on things. Nice to see you are bringing another one back to life.

Now if I can get the padding dried I would install it.  I usually power wash carpets in the summer.  I am thinking I will build a tent over it on the garage with a tarp and a dehumidifier under it.

Can you hang it somewhere and put a fan on it? Probably dry it better than a dehumidifier.. ;)

Can you put the carpet in a heated basp00get?
