Jman's aka "Sandman" MK4 Build Thread - Houston TX

[JMan]

I figured I should probably join the build thread party that this forum is, since I've already learned so much from it.
The plan is a MK4 Roadster with a Carbed 302, T-5Z and IRS. This MK4 will not have a hood scoop or roll bar and I'm still on the fence about the exhaust.

MK4 Base Kit ordered 2/17/2018 with a completion date of 4/21/2018 - arrived 5/15/2018:

Base Kit with:
Powder Coated Chassis
No body cut-outs
'15 IRS with Torsen 3.73 Differential
FFR Front tubular control arms
FFR Spindles
Wilwood Disc Brakes Front & Rear
FFR manual steering rack
FFR front & rear swaybars
Roadster Cooling Systen
Wilwood Pedal Box
Chassis Wiring Harness
Ultra-lite gauges

The engine & trans will be sourced from my 1969 Mustang Convertible, as it will go under a complete overhaul once the FFR project is complete and will receive a twin turbo Coyote motor:
302 seasoned roller block, bored to 306 with 12:1 CR
"Cam" of questionable specs
DART II iron heads
Victor Jr intake
Holley 650 Aluminum HP double pumper
T-5Z trans

I am a non-conformist and I genuinely enjoy seeing vehicles that are "a little bit different", so I will probably be building my FFR a little outside the box, and the plan may take a few turns as the build progresses.

My build will not go as fast as some others as I am still holding down a full-time (plus) job, full time marriage and full time handyman on our fixer-upper home, currently remodeling a gym addition by myself, so I will post updates as they occur, however they will never be as fast as I want them to be.
