Recreating my Mustang, 1987 Notchback W/4.6L 4v W/Whipple 3.4L Blower
Posted by RudyOnWheels on Friday, February 19, 2016 1:12 PM

Since I found this new kit, I just HAD to "recreate" a Mustang I built... Its my 1987 Mustang LX "notchback" with a 4.6L 4-valve out of a 2004 Mustang Cobra, with a Whipple 3.4Liter Roots-style Supercharger, 10-point cage, C-4 built by "Joel's On Joy" in Detroit, Built 8.8 rearend with Strange pro-race axles, spool, etc. Strange coilvers in the front, afco's in the rear, no Mini-tub. Aeromotive A1000 fuel pump, rails, regulator, etc... (doing it again I'd minitub to begin with. I'd also run an AOD trans. I'm a paraplegic and cant drive a stick anymore)..... The 1990 Mustang Kit has many of the parts I needed, so i started with that.

 

 

Then I found a 4.6L 4V engine out of a 1999 Cobra kit on Ebay, picked that up.

 

I also got a Resin Blower kit from B N L resin.

 

 

I havent got too far, but I attached the lower intake for the blower to the (non-blown) 4.6L using "deluxe materials Perfect Plastic Putty ......

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here is the actual 1:1 car I started with:

 

 

Early after I finished it, with "bigger"pin-on PITA hood...

 

After I finished it, Whipple 3.4L, smaller hood. 768Hp, 737 ft/lb to the tire.

 

 Street racing Twin-Turbo Lamborghini Gallardo 50-150MPH:not the best video, this occurred in mexico, and I do not condone such behavior!!!!!

Looking forward to seing your build; especially after seeing the 1:1. I can't imagine working on a car from a wheelchair! Hats off to you and thank you for your service. Hope I'm not out of line assuming you are a vet. Great build nonetheless!

As someone who used to work on a lot of street cars. I gotta say that is one sweet paint job on the 1:1. John
