You could. Have a dedicated fused 12v lead running to the abs. Would have to pull the S650 diagrams to know what the power requirements are. The GT500 abs would be plug and play with the S550 GT systems. Wouldn't even have to pull the abs block, just swap the plastic electronics module...

I have not yet! Some of my stuff is still on order or to be ordered as I am currently focusing on getting the engine installed.... It would be great to hear what you encounter! I was planning on going with adjustable toe arms so I shouldnt have any alignment issues. I would be willing to bet...

I have hopes to resurrect it in the future! Just need to figure out the legal loophole to do it…. Since this car was originally slated to be the parts car for the electric, using this build to get a bit more familiar with the parts and electrical interfaces required for the electric. An...

I rarely use the parking brake with an auto and have no desire for drifting so electric vs manual makes no difference to me. That and wanted to go with the dual brembo caliper from the S650 which is electric. Plus, I think the 500 console looks significantly better then the standard S550...

For anyone wondering.... Yes you can put a GT500 console top on a standard S550 console base. Right is the GT500 and Left is the S550 standard base. Going to create a new top plate to adapt it for a physical shifter and switch to the dual caliper with electric parking brake for the rear...

And now the wait for parts. Ordered new insulation panels except for the one that is oddly priced at $500 from Ford… All others are under $100.

Funny enough I just ordered my 500 console for my project. Will be making a custom top panel to be 3d printed to accommodate the physical shifter. I’ll post up the file when I’m done! Following this electronic parking brake install for sure! I was going to use the wilwood controller but the Kia...

Now the fun part can begin...

BMR K member arrived! Needed this to push the sway bar forward some as the few that have swapped Godzillas into the S550 have ran into a clearance issue with the sway bar and the crank pulley. The BMR K member gives me room to make custom brackets and slide the sway bar forward likely about an...

Hopefully next weekend we will have a nice black engine bay. Going with satin chassis black as final color hasn’t been decided yet. Black will give it a bit of a classic look as older mustangs had black engine bays and gives me freedom to pick whatever color I want and possibly change the color...

I love scuffing…. I love scuffing…. I love scuffing…. If I say it enough, I’ll start believing it right??

Ok question for those that might know.... Does anyone know if Ford changed the valve body on the S550 10r80 in 2021? I know they changed to a shift by wire valve body in the F150s but they obviously didn't do that for the mustang. I can get a good deal on what appears to be a 2021 transmission...

That would be pretty impressive if they can sell a hybrid V8 4 door under 40k. Almost too good to be true which makes me think its not a V8. Sub 4s 0-60 though would mean its got some power for sure. Depending on how it looks, I'm not opposed but do wish they would just leave it Mach 4 and not...

Motor mounts finally delivered. Engine bay stripped in prep for paint. The color is not staying magnetic grey…

Well I see I’ve triggered someone… Politics from the technology people…. Politics from the technology….
