That 2.3 Turbo fits in there pretty nicely. Very impressive work. Bring the thunder!

WOW that is soo good looking.
Love the led headlights.
Too bad they're not allowed here.
Nice speed of progress as well.

That Ecoboost 4 banger should be quick considering it's in a lighter car than the new 3500lb Mustangs.

Thanks guys... the engine isn't your typical S550 Mustang 2.3EB. We did a bunch of work to her before we dressed her in 2.3EB tin. The block is a 2014 2.0 block with 2.3 stuff. A 2016 2.3 Focus RS (FoRS) head and turbo were also added as well as upgrading the cams, Multi layer headgasket, ARP hardware, balance shaft delete, upgraded oil pump and full remote oil cooling system, etc. With all that and a custom tune she will be closer to 430Whp than the typical mustang 310. More from today... I hate nasty weather, so alot of this was done in the shop where its warm.
Tomorrow is supposed to be better, hopefully we can get the entire front clip on and gaps run. I need to decide on hood pin positioning and get the scoops cut for the heat extractor openings. I already have some additional welding to do on the hood so I might as well get the holes punched and the latches recessed.

Anybody close know a guy that can do CF or fiberglass moulds? I am looking to do some custom stuff and would like to re-pop most of it... Let me know, if y'all have a lead.

Little "R" mod today... Hoping it comes out good enough to replicate in fiberglass and / or Carbon Fiber.20210502_162412.jpg20210502_162358.jpg20210502_162322.jpg

On TFFN there was also someone building a falcon with just such a front bumper setup.
He actually produced them.
It looked pretty cool.
Nice looking front!

I think I know the project. He and I took different routes, but the end product will be close. I like the look, but the Mustang "R" bumper looks like a park bench grafted to the nose to me... Angles and lines are all wrong for our body style.

Ok.
Isn't it called an Elanor nose? He put lights in the recess in the middle. That looked cool.
Are you going to do the same?

Bit more done... stretching the front fenders tomorrow. Grille is still pretty tweaked and yes, the headlights are just taped in for mock up...

Nice. Really like the rims.
Would not be my first choice, im more of an original setup guy, but in combination with the other mods very cool looking.
