It can be done, but i think that the Ford guys will finish first, the Honda guys will finish second because it shouldn't take too long to get all the parts they need, then some of the other makes....I think the DSM crew will take a little longer since some of the parts seem to be hard to get, but also because some of us are a little lazy 
....Most aren't but i am definatley one of the lazy ones.....but you could get this thing going pretty damn good...Sure the Ford guys have a huge jump on you all, but shit like i said, the Honda guys should be a quick project, and i think some of the others will take a little longer....thats my .02

I was stated by a few of the ford tech people that they doubted very seriously that any other forum short of the chevy board would even be able to get a project up and running let alone be fast in a drag race. Just from seeing some respones I also have my doubts but would actually enjoy being proved wrong.
This idea was brought up right away when we started talking about a forum car. We dont have a date of completion on the stang but on our first full build day we installed the motor and tranny along with painting the engine bay and cleaning up the car. Now it still requires alot of work but it we pressed to do it I couldn't see it taking a month.
Good luck and if this goes threw and some of the other forums step up please keep us ford guys updated because we dont venture out into general that often. I was linked here from there
