Since the build thread is open now I wanted to post how I am getting ready for my kit kinda like Erik. I put down my order as soon as FFR would let me. I have since bought everything I need to put it together once I get the kit here in Florida. I am using engine and AOD from a 1988 Lincoln LSC I bought a while back on Craigs list. The rear end is out of a 2009 Mustang GT with low miles. I hope as soon as the weather warms up to clean and paint the unit as well. Last week I disassembled the 5.0 and checked out everything I could reuse. Threw out all the stuff I won't use. I ended up replacing all the bearings and rings for the bottom end. I had a Trick Flow top end kit that was used in the Challenge Series to finish off the long block. I will end up using FITech F.I. and have the AOD professionally rebuilt with shift kit and 3000 stall converter. It does get cold once in a while here in Fl. It was 32 in my shop at 8 AM. Solid frost in the yard and bird bath froze solid. It has been like getting Christmas presents the last few weeks with all the parts coming Fed EX and UPS. I am planning on this being a nice cruiser type build. I will post here as I do other stuff.
Kit is ordered as follows. I may add wood bed and floor mats if available at time of pick up.
