, I don't know why its doing that. It works for me obviously, but my privacy settings must have changed somehow. I'll see if I can upload it to photobucket.

Ok, got my privacy settings fixed on youtube. I dont know how it got set to private. Anyway, I took the car out last night for a test drive. Ended up coming right back to adjust the clutch cable. Gonna play with the tune a little today because I was getting a little hesitation when I stab the throttle. Probably needs a little timing adjustment. Over all everything looks great though. I'm very happy. I was literally jumping for joy at 4am the night I stayed up and got it running. Gotta add cobra swap to my sig now:)

Did a little tuning and took the car to a local cruise spot tonight. Had a blast driving it after having it laid up for so long. Trying to take it easy while I break in this new clutch has been hard.

Not sure how I missed this thread before. I am fairly new here and have not read everything on this forum. Very nice build and like what you have shown. Did not see or might have missed your Garret turbo specs. I guess you are running lots of gear for what you are doing with the car though. I knows its old now but in case anybody else can use the info, The Mustang Cobra 5.0 cam is the same camshaft that is used in the 1991/93 5.0 MN-12 Birds and Cougars, except those cars have only the E7 heads and stock 5.0 HO 1.6 rockers. I like how you have the turbo on the left side compared to most on the passenger side. Looks really good, sorry for chiming in so late.

Thanks. I don't know all the specs on the turbo, but the turbine housing is a t3 with a 1.12 A/R housing and a 3" 4 bolt outlet. The compressor is not stamped with any info. I got it cheap from someone who didn't have any specs for it. My gearing is not really ideal for what I do. It will be changed at some point. Good info on the cam. That's a great low budget cam upgrade.
I've been driving the car a lot this week. Managed to put 1,000 miles on the trip counter since the engine went in. Everything is good with the swap. I'm gonna go ahead and register for a drift event for Aug. 10th at lime rock. Can't wait.
