i bought 6 little cans of por, a gallon of cleaner, and a gallon of metal prep, when i did my floors, i had 2 little cans left over,...so i am using it on stuff like this,...it is no heavier then regular paint,..its only one coat put on with a roller,..i dont think its adding much weight at all,...and i am making up for it by the 1234 pounds of undercoating i have scraped from the car and the dirt removed,..haha,...i love this stuff and have had GREAT results with it,..and i am not worried about weight with a 4000 pound car,..now if it was my sti, that would be a different story,...
you might be looking at the same power level as a new GT so maybe 250 to the wheels 310 maybe at the crank. I dont know your cam specs though so its only a guess. by the way i noticed your running stock rockers, I have some brand new sbf comp cams roller rockers id be willing to let go at a 1/3 of the price, bought them 1/2 off when a parts store went under but im currently not running any 302/351w motors.

This is a brand new Edelbrock #2091 Ford 289-302 Power Package Top End Kit, 367 HP.
E11-2091
The Edelbrock Total Power Package is a concept that we pioneered in the 1980s that provides you with performance-matched components designed and engineered to work together as a package. This dyno-proven combination ensures that you have everything you need to meet your performance goals with proven results. To make things easier in the parts selection process, we have taken the Total Power Package to the next level by actually placing the power package components together under a single part number. That's rightthe Edelbrock Power Package Top End Kits provides proven performance in one box, without the guesswork. Each kit includes: intake, heads, cam & lifters (except roller lifters), head & intake bolt kits, a complete gasket set as well as a timing chain and gear set. Push rods and rocker arms not included. Simply finish the system with the Edelbrock carburetor that best matches your application.

In your case it shows. keep up the good work. I am a little hurt about your coupe comment however, coupes can be cool! Anyway keep it up!!!

HAHA!!! Busted...nice recovery though. Just kidding with you guys. If I wouldn't have just started a business, I would be posting up progress pics. Fortunately and unfortunately, I am investing money into something that hopefully will pay me back. Then I will get to build my car.

no problem, I was just giving you a hard time. I would love to have a Fastback but this is the car I had so I made something out of it. You vert is gonna be sweet, I enjoy reading your posts.
No his is the E kit. The E2 kit is made for 65-66.
E kit 67-68 E2 65-66
Yes, My kit is the E kit for 67-68 Mustangs, the E2 kit is for the 1st generation Stangs. I have the Maier racing kit except for the trunk lid and tail light panel. I have the Shelby/California Special trunk lid and Shelby tail light panel. I filled in the notches in the upper and lower nose for the driving lights because I used a 67 Shelby grille.
I love this thread thanks for keeping us updated on your progress!
I have a question for you regarding your application of POR15 (i'm getting ready to do the same thing):
I was under the impression that you just used phosphoric acid and then applied the POR15 directly over the painted areas - do you actually need to strip all the paint off before applying POR15?

DO NOT PUT POR15 OVER PAINT, it will not stick and it will just peel off,...POR stands for paint over rust,...YOU MUST use their three step process,..
1. degreaser 2. metal prep 3. por 15
if using on bare metal, scuff it up a bit with some sand paper,...and then spray degreaser and let sit for about 10 minutes, wash clean with clean water, spray metal prep and let sit for about 15-20 minutes and wash clean again, dry, then you are ready for the po15,...if you dont do these steps, you will not have good results and it will begind to peel on you

Jamie, just curious. It looks like you have an air gap intake on the car. That is what I am using. Do you think you will have any hood clearance issues? Thanks.
