This car started out as a stock 1991 5.0 LX auto car. I bought the car in Jan 08. As soon as I got it home the first order of bussiness was to pull the drivetrain and start cleaning the engine bay, interior, etc. I had picked up a 1995 Mustang from a local guy who had no idea what was in the motor, all he could say was its FAST(been there heard that, right). All I knew was it had a nice sounding cam in it, Big injectors and Alum. Heads. Transmission was grinding in second and wouldn't go in reverse so I picked it up really cheap. After a Sunday afternoon burnout accident I totaled the car and that made for a transplant. I took the engine out (by this time I knew it had good power and Victor Jr. heads). Pulled the oil pan, what I found was good, Eagle H-beam rods, Eagle Stroker Crank, SRP pistons, and a 1" Steel Gridle. I Never took the timing chain off so I still don't know the Cam specs or the bore on the engine. After swaping SN-95 parts over to 5.0 stuff Including a Edelbrock Polished water pump, Trick Flow TFS-R intake, Accufab 80mm TB and Anderson Power Pipe. I put in a Tremec TKO 3550 5-speed Transmision, Backed with Centerforce Clutch, and Steeda Shifter, A FRPP alum drive shaft bolted to a stock 8.8 housing equipped with 3:73 Motorsport Gears. I added 5 lug moser axles with 5lug SN-95 Spindles and a SVO Motorsport Extender with MSD Ignition to get the car running. Once it was up and running we strapped it down for a quick dyno pull with no tunning. The car put down 357rwhp/359rwtq. I was hoping to sometime soon get it back on the dyno for some tunning but with a recent purchase of a Pony Down Stage 2 Turbo Kit with a Turbonetics 88mm Turbo I figure we will wait and do it all with the new set up.
Snice that time I have added several suspension mods including UPR K-member and A-arms, Racecraft 2" drop spindles,  13" Crossed drilled Cobra front Brakes, Qa1 front Coilovers with 300lbs springs, Strange adjustable struts and shocks help smooth out the ride. The rear has Maximum Motorsports Weight Jacker lower Control arms and Eiblach Pro Kit Springs. The Rear upper control arms are Hotchkis Adjustable units. I also Found a set of Weld Racing 17" Alumstars and ran these wheels for awhile but found some 17x9.5 front and 17x10 rear CCW Classics fit the car better for street driving. The exhaust is Mac Longtube Headers, with Flowmasters full 3" exahust kit and tips. The interior is mostly stock with the exception of the UPR Rock Crusher shifter and the Florida 5.0 Dash Gauge Pod filled with Autometer phantom Gauges.
All this needed to look good so with the help of Kevin Mitchell and Wesley Dancy I was able to have the Oxford White reapplied with PPG paint and after blacking out the mouldings. I feel the car has come along way and It means alot to me to see the car turn out the way it has......Having places like "Snapshots" and "My Muscle Mustang" to show it off makes it that much better.
