ELEANOR Shelby GT500 Project... Engine breaking in , started with no exhaust

[shtml54]

This car is worth more than $115K, considering the work you put into it.

sounds like a tractor

That thing sounds sooo nasty =D

@TheKozary I've never heard of that before. I've you've got it tuned right, it wont hurt anything. if your timing is at least in the ball part, and your valves and rockers are adjusted right, it should be just fine.

This car sounds like a Rolls Royce Merlin engine in a P51 Mustang. If you don't believe me just look it up.

@coryallen75 That would be a Packard Merlin, a version of the Rolls Royce Merlin.

I will agree with you there, does sound like a Merlin!

[Gnrawesomeness]

Is this a 427 or a 428?

[TheKozary]

correct me if im wrong but isnt letting your engine idle at first start give you bad ring seating and flat spots on new cams?

[nipplebrady1988]

how much is a project car in the states?

[gettingitfirst]

Mustangs to fear is a great kit. I wish I knew of them when I bought mine. I'm having fun with the side scoops. They add a lot of mas to the quarter where it meets the door. how did you get them to feather in?

[gettingitfirst]

Which kit did you go with?

[nickt916]

@gettingitfirst MTF kit

I think you'll be better off with a 650cfm double pumper for better throttle response, just a thought! Otherwise the car is beautiful, great job!!!!!
