Clubs:	SuperFord.org (Other vehicles in this club) Crownvic.net Readers Rides (Other vehicles in this club)
Nickname:	Papa Smurf
Mileage:	88000
Engine:	5.0 bored and stroked to 331ci with Scat crank, Scat I-beam connecting rods, Keith Black 9:1 pistons, Lazer Cams 216* @ .050 duration .520" lift cam, GT40P heads with larger exhaust valves, upgraded springs, 1.7 FMS Cobra roller rockers, GT40 upper and lower intake, 70mm BBK throttle body and EGR spacer, 76mm C&L MAF meter, 24lb/hr injectors, BBK adjustable FPR, custom fabricated throttle linkage, ceramic coated equal length shorty headers,
Drivetrain:	Built AOD transmission, heavy duty clutches, 1.5" race OD band, heavy duty shift kit, 351 heavy duty torque converter, stock 8.8" rear, 2.73 gears.
Notes:	Original Plans: E303 Cam Ported E7TE heads (already have them) HO inktake manifold (already have it) 19# injectors (just got them) Fuel pressure regulator 58mm Throttle Body (got it) HO Headers (already have it) with dual 2.5" pipes and catless H pipe HO computer and MAF Sensor As you can see, things have changed. Now I'm just working on getting the 331 running right. I either have a timing issue or maybe fuel delivery (malfunctioning MAF maybe). I'm making progress with it though. All the critical areas seem to be ok, so I'm pretty proud of myself for pulling off a complete stroker build up, basically on my own, for my first engine project. I hadn't even done an oil change until 3 years ago, so I think I'm making progress. Once I get it rolling and get some more money, I want an air ride suspension, bigger wheels and tires all around, probably the new aluminum Cragar SS in an 18" or bigger, and then work on getting a trakloc with some 3.73s. I've got a few more ideas too, but I could probably right a few pages on all the plans I have for this car. I love it, it's a beast.

A month later and it looks pretty much the same. A lot happened in that month, but it was mainly tearing down, fixing mistakes, and building it back up.
