Thanks for the compliments, guys.

Yes, it all fits using the stock doghouse. A 5" welded schedule-40 pipe bodylift gave me clearances necessary for the swap with room to spare. Plug changes on a stocker are a 1.2 hr job easy, on my truck it's a 20 minute deal.

Everything's plugged in & working, including all dash lights/gauges, ABS, cruise, a/c etc..

She keeps up to stock Mustangs on the highway, and will beat a stocker in the quarter due to 'stangs traction issues. I did a best time of 13.93 with the spare & rear seat removed...running 31" BFG A/T's. Had a terrible time getting traction, which was never that much of an issue on the street

I'll post the few vid clips I have later this week...

Brent, move this thread wherever you want. You're the boss
