Ill definitely get a build thread up once I start getting into the engine install. I am really excited to get the mustang done, and hopefully it ends up being as fun as I anticipate the SHO being.
The current mods are: 8.8 with 4.10s in the rear, 1.5" lowering springs, upper and lower control arms (adjustable), strut tower brace (not sure it will fit with the new engine and turbo kit), I also have a basic SCT canned tune and a CAI for a bit of bling, along with true, divorced duals, and flowmaster 44's. Cobra 13" brakes on front, with 17x8 front and 17x9.5 rear cobra rims. The transmission is also J-modded so it shifts a bit better than OEM.
The parts I have waiting to install are:
3200 rpm locking torque converter, tubular K member and tubular A arms, bumpsteer kit, coilovers for the front, (I already have caster camber plates).
The engine has 1.7 roller rockers, and a turbo grind cam, as well as forged internals, and is bored to allow for a 4.3 crank rather than the original 4.2, giving me a 4.3 stroker. The engine dynoed at just over 300 at the crank, so the plan is to get the engine installed and the turbo kit on low boost, and shoot for 350 to the rear wheels, then crank the boost up to 10-13 psi, maybe up to 15 psi, and shoot for 450+ RWHP on a V6. And then break some hearts at the track.
