89 Mustang GT Build Thread


The history to my car is. 89 mustang gt that i got when i was 16. Still have it and modded it to a h/c/i 150 shot car. Was ok but still wanted more. I got bored with my fathers 03 cobra and that's when i decided to go for broke. Mods to the car before i dropped it at dmc racing a few months ago are as follows.

6 point roll bar and subframe connectors done by DMC.
8.8 rear end spool/33 spline axles/9 inch housing ends/Strange brakes. Also done by DMC.
Face plated tko-600, chromoly driveshaft, Anderson hi-rev clutch.
Dart based 363 stroker, bryant crank, oliver rods, diamond pistons, trickflow 225cc heads, reichard racing intake, etc. gt 47-18 88mm turbo that im selling and switching to twin 76's.
Pa Racing tubular k member and a arms
Flaming River manual rack and steering shaft.
Strange front brakes and struts/shocks.
Rear suspension is pro 3i tubular lowers, baseline suspension uppers.

I brought the car to DMC for the following:
Cage work (front half of cage, might do 25.5 later)
Strut tower rust fixing
Turbo plumbing
Motor plates
Mounting fuel pumps
And maybe more.

Here are some pics of where we are at.

Probably switching to a th400, aode, or my last choice is the powerglide. I want something that will do ok on the street. Doubt the tko will last at 4 digit power levels. I'd rather sell it in working condition than broken. As far as et's, cage is 8.50 certed....will it go faster? Yes of course. Just not so sure i want to 25.5 a street car.

25.5 on a street car is worth it in my opinion cause if its done correct you can still see and drive it normal...if you do it it will also bring up value but id do the 25.3 upgrade soo you can also improve later on ya know either way good luck gonna be a sick ride!
