Holy hell is this bad ass IMO, even has working air conditioning.... Too bad a stock hood won't fit. Not a crazy high end build (stock motor, small turbos), but would make a wicked DD.

Ford 4R70W Transmission

3.55 gears

Best time is 11.74 at 116 MPH (many, many times) - I have not raced it since the new motor. I have only driven it as a daily driver, as I didn't want to mess with it.

I also replaced the "original" V10 about 18 months ago with a fresh '03 motor because the "original" spun a rod bearing after 160K of use. The current motor has about 60K on it and only 15K in this car.

I still have the "original" V10 and it will come with the car along with the extra wheels, drag slicks and skinnies.

Wait what? Only 6k!? That's cheeeeeeeap

In the grand scheme of things, its a budget build.

Grandmas car gets a blown motor (Already has 4R70W)- $500?
V-10 triton from Junkyard - $750-1000?
Turbo Coupe turbos that have been rebuilt - $500?
Cowel Hood - $500?
Dyno Tune - $500?
Slicks and Skinnies - $1000?
So big stuff - $4k or so?

Intercooler, chip, etc, I think $6k may close to what he has into it in total :dunno:

Its remote mounted, so the turbo fab work isn't too bad I'd imagine Vs. having it in the engine bay, probably stock headers etc.

"Anyone can do it", But its just really cool to see it done.
