Naw. With all that work and money he put in to his 300 he don't need a V8. Rather Jackson's turbo. I recall reading once he might have changed his mind on using it.
OK amigos, I hear you about a tire frying, gas hog, but..... inches are inches, so..... what is the real difference between a 300 IL 6 and a 302 V-8 ?? In a truck ? My old 300, with a few mods, is plenty fast enough to get me to the scene of the accident. Sure, stock it was a dog, but a sled dog, pulling wool with the big dogs. Now, with the cam, head work, Offenhauser intake, 4 bbl, valves, pushrods, springs and lifters and a few other tricks, it is plenty strong enough to where I can be first at the scene, if I push it.. but I do not feel the need to rush, as I have the rest of my life to get there. So much for old trucks, but in a 'Stang... sure, go for the pony's..
Russ I'm with you on the 300 in a truck. For the way I use a truck most of the time, it's hard to beet the low end torque of a 300. I pull a trailer a lot in the summer, to my apartments and to our farm. And one thing I learned early on, the 300 will get down and lug and walk right up the hills on the farm where a V8 will spin. And you don't want to spin on those old hills or you will be filling in a wash after a big rain or two.
Just a little update, I have got the first pass of blocking done on the Mustang. I'm touching up a few small blemishes and I be ready to spray another couple coats of primer and start blocking again.
Will Guys I went to the shop this morning with full intentions of getting the Mustang ready for the next coats of primer, but after I got to looking at it I decided to get rid of a couple more seams. But I know this will be all of them, because it's the last seams on the body. By the time I leave tomorrow night I'm hoping to have them done. One thing I had not shown anybody is the dash. Pads gone and holes welded up, and radio gone and that hole welded up.
So Mr.R what's the plan for any tunes?
Unless you've lost your hearing then got~ch

Good question Rich, I can't hold a tune myself so I have to have something to listen to. Here is a picture of the console, I have a Pioneer double din touch screen DVD receiver that will replace the box in the front of the console right below the dash. On another note I will probably mount the switches for the windows on the slope right in front of the cup holders
