Started tearing down my 03 mustang gt. suspension it gone going to build a mustang 2 style up front. the rear will be tubbed not sure on the exact what set up for the rear. as for the motor maybe a stroked 5.4 to 6.2 dohc with twin tubos t-56 trans custom interior pretty much going all out. started removing shock towers today.
single turbo will make more than enuff steam ..... doing a teksid block 4.6 b headed build gonna use a 76 mm on the track car , you can make 650 PLUS easy to the tires single but good luck

Sold the notch and for all who think it is retarded why it my car if I want to build a radical car that I own what's the big deal there are plenty of 03 mustangs out there cutting up one isn't killing them all. What the fuck all you assholes are so damn negative all the fucking time.
its not being negative really ...just giving our opinion if you want to chop up your 03gt and build a rad street/track car that takes 5 years thats your deal ..but i bet 20 bucks this project gets scraped but thats just me ...not being negative but ive alot of these projects not get finished cause people lose motivation or money and then in the end come out on the losing end ....good luck with it hope you prove us wrong
yea it won't be getting junked and I ain't most people so it will get finished and as for being negative saying a build is rretarded and shit like that is negative and there are negative opinions. But hey people can think what they want I know what it will be. As for the people following I am ordering my front rails and crossmember for the mustang2 suspension I am thing triangulated fourlink
Yea dash is out I plan on getting a dash but everything else will be hand made or close to it. And travis I am one town over you can come see it when ever ya like
nope i meant what i said ...i see a nice clean low miles o3 gt with the front of the car cut with a sawzall for no apparent reason could have easily be put back together to look something like pjs car
Don't give him any ideas. If it looks like mine, I'll have to sell it and i don't want to sell this car hahaha.
Personally, I think it's kinda nuts to tear a nice clean car to pieces like that, but to each his own. Just don't leave it to rot like most will do.
i think its cool its very different and thats why i like it...andrew u can use 2x3 to use as the rails might save you some money....all in all gonna be a sick car with a lot of ideas put to use...good luck bud
yea I was going to get 2x3 at the local steel yard. I plan on the suspension being done by july the motor will take some time the stroker kit for a 5.4 is 2500 bucks so I plan on having a rolling chassis by summer then start on motor work.
i like the ideas to do something diffrent .....i got a street car and a race car thats in progress a noch mini tubbed with a 4 valve .....but its gonna be for track motor plates ect ....my question is why did ya want to go to the mustang 2 style front end ? somthing you had ? ....this isnt being negative just curious the gains over using a a tubular k member from like aje with tube arms and racecraft spindles ect ..... if ya going to be doing a serious race car and ya wanna see some ideas .....my notch is cert to 8.50s chromroly cage thru floor connectors , mini tubbed , shortend 8.8 with 9 inch ends braced front and back .....ect there may be some pics on here already but in taunton if its somthing ya wanted to see ..... good luck with build

Going with the mustang 2 front for room. A dohc 5.4 with turbos gets kindof big not going to be a race only car more of a radical street car with the potencial to kick ass racing
i got a 4.6 dohc teksid block using b heads and single turbo if done right it should fit with stock engine bay with 5.4 and twins .....theres a yellow notch that runs at ned 5.4 turbo dohc witha single 76 mm and the twin turbo setup would use forward facing headers assuming ...check out this guys stuff give him a call doing my hotside,... http://www.cgfabrication.com/shop/page/1?sessid=IsAbObO6GqiqBPIailTlkEuiIVTzHGAA4GgjNeqVUtOtEXoie5XtaTkAIzfW3Kcv&shop_param=

i know it could fit but i wanted to have plenty of space for headers and the downtubes. But plans might have already changed i did some research on stroker kits for the 5.4 and nobody recomends it so maybe i will save up for a new 5.0l cyote with twin turbos not sure yet though
i actualy like this much better than the boat anchor 460 i would never do this to my car but i do like this and would like to see it finished keep us updated i love my car asis so just bolt ons for me lol
dude good luck with your car i think it will be sick once its done like stated before i heard 1 larger turbo is better i believe. i am interested in this build so post pics up and keep me informed

Or make it easier and run a boss 5.0 block and build that up. No wiring issues, if there any to run a coyote motor, turbo kits are already out there for a mod motor car and the availability of head, intakes, cams etc is right there.
cut the rest of the shock towers out will be picking up my rails on saturday so i will have some good updates next week. also the motor will be a 6.0L stroker for sure.
he is doing a mustang 2 front suspension which contains upper and lower control arms so you dont nned to mount the strut to inner fender, and im sure he is prob gunna put the turbos in there too. so there will be plenty of room for the down pipes.just what im guessing....
small update. got the drivers side rail cut out and know where my new rail will sit. 3 inches lower will be where the new rail goes. didnt get my new rails yet got a truck last weekend instead but hopefully this weekend i will get the rails and crossmember material and start building.
i had a tire lying around so i decided to put it in the wheel well with the framerail cut out to see what it would look like. the tire is a 275. i might try to move my rails in and inch or inch n a half to get a 300 tire in there a real wide and low stance will handle great if i can fit it. if it fits i will have 300/40r18 in front and 345/35r19 in back all tucked up nice.
