Default i would like to anounce my 1986 Mustang convertible is alive!

Thats right 6 long months of blood sweat tears and many cases of beer ive done it! I have dreamt of this day but tonight i took her for her first drive down the street. Now i made it down and back up the driveway but i didnt realize how much work a carberated engine is lol. This is my 3rd mustang but my first engine ive ever built. It started as a 1986 vert origianlly fuel injected that i bought for 500 bux with NOTHING in it besides two front seats and a steerin wheel. i talked my dad into letting steal his side of the garage for a little while and i built a 302 on his engine stand and bolted it up to a stock t5 tranny and by some miracle i got the thing to run. WOW. WHAT journy. i will work on gettin some pictures up.

Starting up a new engine is like when your kids are born... a whole bunch of people around, taking pictures and videotaping...
