Back on the road again after 12 years. Ran into a alot of trouble with the tuning the mustang ecm and getting the transmission controller working right. Leech motor sports out of Oklahoma was able to get me a tune for the computer and it’s running great now. I highly recommend Matt if you are having any tuning issues.

still have a couple small items on the interior and chasing a oil leak, but it’s on the road again.

my daughter didn’t like the feel of driving a 50 year old truck after driving a new truck for a year, so it’s all mine.

Leech motor sports did it remotely. He is out of Oklahoma City.

the pivot point had to be reversed and a little fab work, but it works well.

I put 4:10 in it. It runs about 2100 rpm at 70mph.

the computer tells me mileage is about 11. But my foot is in it all the time. I haven’t checked the mileage manually.
