wow that is SICK. i would love to pull up next to some dude in a camaro or rustang (haha i love that "rustang") with this badass look on my face. "YA WANNA GO MAAAAN?" id probably die of laughter seeing that thing take off at a dragstrip. love the wheels and the "5.0" emblem too.
 
there are actually several late 80s Grand Marquis's (wow that looks stupid lol) around here, and most of em are.... yup white just like yours Robbie, and they are in as good shape as that. its amazing and always catches my eye. really a simpler-looking but pretty car. ill bet theyre all owned by the elderly, thats why theyre in good shape!
 
i would totally rock one if i could get it. id love it as a daily. really, if i could get ANY daily that had a 5.0 that would be sick.

That's insane...even though I'd buy it in a heartbeat(if I had the cash:D ).  Anyway, thanks for all the info--I'll update you with a few new pics in a day or two(gotta go wash the beast sometime).  :)

If you're serious about the H.O conversion,start collecting your parts one piece at a time.take your time,and before you know it,you'll be ready to start the process to horsepower,and that's a gooooood thing.

That's what I did, and you can find some awesome deals on ebay from guys just getting rid of their old Mustang parts.

Heck, I've got a set of heads (not sure on condition) and my brother has a set of manifolds.  They either sit in my shed or in my trunk when it snows.

Ok, it's been a while, so an update on the car for ya :)

We've fixed an intermittent engine issue we had, which turned out to be a cracked vacuum hose affecting the transmission's shifting.  Also, when the taillights completely stopped working, we discovered that the main wiring harness was pretty much burned up. 

To sum it up:  The car's doing better than ever before! :)
