I am sure I am missing things, but those are the main mods.

This car moves well, and sounds incredible. It is a mid 11 second car on slicks, and well into the 10's if you put nitrous to it.

PROs:
*Very appealing. Gets a TON of compliments
*Unique
*Very fast for the power it makes
*Muscle car feel, when driving
*Drives well, considering the mods.
*Has mostly the best parts, and will save the buyer A LOT of time and money
*This car was put together properly, no shortcuts..no mismatched parts...everything was done correctly and carefully.

CONs:
*No a/c
*No Powersteering
*Paint, needs a paint job IMO. Certain areas are dull looking..scratches here and there (thanks to previous owner and laziness..lol) There are also spots where you can see the laser red, not majorly...but when detailing you can see it.
*Tan interior, love it...or hate it. IMO it looks good with the sonic blue paint
*Hood shuts, but not all the way....due to the intake hitting. See pics (pass side) I had to trim some under the hood, about a dollar coin size.
*Needs some alignment work. It has FOX Arms, and the caster needs some working on. It has a "base" alignment, but needs some modification.
*Brake lights dont work (it needs a switch run to either the pedal, or line lock/pressure...the new manual brake kit, made the stock switch inoperable) Its a $5 switch, and 2 wires...
*Just needs to be cleaned well. It isnt too dirty, and stays in garage.

Conclusion: Highly modded, very fast for the power it makes. Has a TON of good parts as you can see. Needs a TINY amount of TLC, but not enough for me to even worry about. I enjoy the car as is. I can honestly say, there is VERY little work that needs to be done, in order for this car to be a 9 out of 10.... I see people say that about their cars, then the purchaser makes a thread about how everything sucked etc etc. This car WAS NOT put together to sell like alot of modded cars I see on forums. I just need to get rid of the car for personal reasons that I do not wish to discuss.

This car is a shortblock, and poweradder away from going 9's, with ease.

Until it sells, I will continue to modify it, and enjoy it. Future "plans" include possibly and auto swap...a turbo kit, or a nitrous kit....a gear change (3.73) and it WILL be getting a Satin Blue paint job, very shortly. I will adjust the price accordingly if these things happen. Or, if you want...you can buy the car and I can have these things done to it. With the satin blue paint, add $1000 to the price of the car, for the turbo kit, tuned and installed add $3500 to the price.

According to a few knowledgeable members on various forums, this engine combination is THE MOST POWERFUL "bolt-on" stock longblock engine out there.

****ITEMS I WILL INCLUDE FOR ADDITIONAL $500****

*Cobra T45 Stock transmission - driveable, NOT raceworthy
*2001 Cobra Intake Cams (simple install, should gain about 15RWHP)
*Flaming River Steering Shaft, for swapping back to power steering

Now to the pics.

Best N/A Pass with old engine:

The 12 second slip is a missed gear.

Now it is 250#'s lighter, and has a better power curve.


Current Dyno Graph:

I understand 100% that this car will need the "right-buyer"

It was put together to go as fast as possible, for as little power as it makes. And of course, there are a bunch of small bolt-ons, race seats, and a ton of other things you can add.

I would like to keep up with the car, after it is sold. And I will be available anytime to help with it, after its sold. Whether troubleshooting anything, recommending new parts, selling the buyer new parts, or just general talk about it.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have

If you have any trades to offer please PM me, and send pics to ModularSpeed@yahoo.com

Car will be getting an EATON supercharger installed on it..

The blower will be painted wrinkle black to match valve covers.

Pics to come shortly..... the car will be available for purchase after the supercharger, new injectors, and tune is done. Or, can still be purchased as is....but you better shoot an offer QUICK of you want it as is.

I've been putting this off for a while, but I have come to the realization I really need to sell this car if possible.

346 RWHP / 331 RWTQ - N/A 93 Octane.


Car ran 11.63@117.8 a while back on DR's.

Made 4 passes, worst was an 11.7X@117.....1.6 sixties on all passes.

THE CAR ALSO NOW HAS A BRAND NEW FIDANZA 4.3 CLUTCH KIT, BRAND NEW FIDANZA ALUMINUM FLYWHEEL.....AND TRANS HAS BEEN REBUILT AGAIN WITH BILLET SHIFT FORK

YouTube - MODULAR SPEED.wmv

As you can see, the little T45 can take some beatings.

Car will now include the following:

*BRAND NEW NITROUS KIT, STILL IN SHRINK WRAP
Bottle Heater, and other accessories as well.

*BRAND NEW FORGED H-BEAM RODS

*BRAND NEW DIAMOND PISTON RINGS

*BRAND NEW AEROSPACE ELECTRIC WATER PUMP

And whatever else I have to go along with it.

I will offer the buyer BRAND NEW FORGED PISTONS for $360 shipped, if interested.

Throw the rods, pistons, and rings in this motor....spray a 150 shot and go 10.3@130+ MPH...or quicker. I'd personally like to see an auto with a 150 RWHP shot of nitrous, I think this car could get close to a 9 Second Pass.

ACCEPTING REASONABLE OFFERS

This car also happens to feature the most powerful engine of its kind. Stock Spec (stock OEM Ford parts from TB to oilpan) N/A.

Here is a link to the "list" Scroll down about half way on first page. Yes, it is an internet list...but I assure you, it is VERY accurate.

Official 4V Naturally Aspirated HP/TQ List - Ford Mustang Forums : Corral.net Mustang Forum

I will also give the buyer 100's of photos of the progression of the car, as well as the progression of Horsepower (dyno graphs) overtime.

MANY can vouch for this car. That is an understatement.

For that asking price you NEED some sort of forced induction, good luck with sale!
And your posts are a bit confusing? the current motor has forged rods and pistons or are you including them and 346RW with stock cams and heads? is that SAE? I've never seen a stock cammed Mach motor put down that much..
