5PTOH purchase and build (SOLD)

[redline727]

Installed a 55# clutch pedal helper spring that had been reported to work well that other members found on Amazon. Didn't get to drive it yet since it was pretty late and didn't want to wake up my son. But it feels like it should be in that sweet spot to still feel the clutch engagement and keep the slack off the top of the pedal.

Forney 72654 Wire Spring Compression (10-814), 1-3/8-Inch-by-2-1/2-Inch-by-.135-Inch https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003XEW4WM/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_FGhVwbNM03SMP

And added some decals under the hood. Been doing this since I started modding my first car. 15 years later, still doing it.

Nice build going. How do you like the E85 tune and power?

Thanks! I only ran two tanks of E85 so far. But I recently switched back to 93 due to really cold temps here lately this winter. Cold starts were a bitch and wasn't driving as much bc of the snow. I'll switch back once it warms up and stays warm. Power was a subtle increase but it felt like the engine ran smoother to me. But who knows could have been all in my head. Lol

You get it in black or silver?

Black, I'll post up locks tomorrow when I get it installed. Tried to keep everything in the engine bay black. With the exception of my strut brace and IM unfortunately. The strut brace I could get the Ford Racing one or paint it. But still leaves the the IM. And I don't want to paint it, or have the money for a GT350 IM, so it's staying as is right now lol. I hope one day a blower will be sitting up there and both of those items will be gone haha.

Nice! I just did mine yesterday. Replaced the JLT one I had. Much cleaner look now.

Installed my Mishimoto coolant reservoir today. Looks great! Cleans up the engine bay and goes with my current theme. One day hope to have a black Whipple replace the gray intake manifold and delete the strut brace and everything will be blacked out. Install went smooth, got more coolant everywhere then I planned, but oh well. I like that they give the hose for the overflow, rather then it just dripping down the back of the reservoir like the stock one, and like the sight glass. Main reason I went with it, along with that it's chambered like stock. But I think the Moroso has nicer welds. Only complaint I have is that the tab on the tank for snapping the cap closed must be too big and it was a bitch to get that final click when putting the cap on.

Trimmed the dash

Howler fender badges installed. Black nickel/black. And I found out the stock 5.0 badges are not installed level from the factory. I guess they thought it looked better on a slight angle to flow with the fender line. I noticed when I lined the bottom with painters tape I put a level to it to make sure it was straight and, nope! Both sides are the same. And yes, my level is accurate or my house is crooked lol. I decided to install the badges by the level. And you can see why Ford chose it this way. The body line plays tricks on your eyes. And I know my car is disgusting. I have been trying to get with my detailer for weeks now. But every time I schedule a time it's either raining or snowing, or something just comes up.

Joined the Lego Mustang crowd. One of favorite toys as a kid. Still as much fun today as I remembered.
