Tommy's clean look with no 'burns is killing me 🤣

That pulley kit cost more than I paid for my last shitbox mustang. LMAO !

Dream car! Loved mustangs ever since my step dad introduced me as a kid. This is amazing, keep up the great work PowerNation!

Excited to follow this project. We're working on a 92 Coupe we're putting a Coyote in. For power steering we're looking at possibly running a Volvo electric power steering pump. The 92 didn't start as extensive as this, but rust has made it a much bigger project. That and we've been waiting 9 months for swap headers now, that's the biggest hurdle right now. Love the work as always!

Tommy should run for office. He is such a natural communicator -- voters would love him.

Great video, but a lot of the parts aren't linked at all or linked incorrectly. Kinda a bummer having to spend 15+ minutes trying to find the exact parts used. For anyone wondering they used Detroit Speed headers (PN 061005DS) but I'll pass on spending $3500 on headers, that's half the cost of the supercharger.....ended up going with some flowtech turbo headers and just flipped them upside down to have the collectors facing back. Only $305 plus some time with my welder, happy with the results.

Cleanest mechanics hands in the history of mechanics hands 😁

Well Dad, if anyone loved a good Mustang restoration, it was you. I wish you were still here to see (and hear) this one! RIP

Makes me wish I kept my '70 Mustang. Probably would have had to replace lots of parts with all the rust by now. Fantastic video.

It's such a basic thing that SHOULD be common sense but isn't. Everyone thinks that what they're selling is worth what they, themselves, value it at and get offended when anyone tries to haggle with them. This is as true of trying to sell a car as it is your own labor (i.e. getting a job). I was accused of being a scammer for offering someone 2500 bucks for a car they were asking 3000 for. I can only imagine what that person thinks of his boss.

Except modern autos and semiautomatic manuals are more efficient and in performance applications are faster.

Or anyone who's making modern performance cars that use anything but a semiauto. 21st century engine with a 1950s transmission.

I have watched this video multiple times and it just hit me. Why didn't you do all of the engine's auxiliary components while the engine was on the stand? It seems like grinding the block would have been easier than wedging yourself between the block and radiator?

Since the newer cars have electric assist steering and you upgraded the steering why not stay with an electric assist? It only makes sense on this resto-mod build. Sure is looking good!

I love the build and hope to win. I have followed Engine Power and Detroit Muscle on the progress. I am wondering where the engine horsepower and torque were set to. The TKX is limited to 600 ft lbs. The first run with the 3.75 pulley yielded 811/662 which already exceeds the tranny's max torque. The final run with the 3.25 pulley was 1003/799. Obviously the last run is super sweet but would destroy the drive train. Could you let us know the final installed horsepower and torque are?

@MrRangersfan123

2 жыл бұрын

I'm pretty sure those torque limits are rated for a 6000lb vehicle but I could be wrong. For example the T56 is "rated" at 700 ft lbs, but you can find plenty of builds with over 1000 ft lbs of torque on that transmission.
