Typhoon Intake

I got my lower intake a few weeks ago and so I decided to test fit it and then get it ready to port and polish to get rid of the extra metal from the casting for cleaner air flow. Its a Typhoon lower. Its just like the Edelbrock but made in china.

This is it laying next to the stock ford 351w truck lower. There is a height difference and the openings are ALOT bigger:

The Beginning...

I recently picked up a 1987 Mustang Coupe 4-cylinder. Well at one time it had a 4-cylinder in it. I went to pick up the car and about 90% of it is in boxes. In the boxes I got everything to convert the 4-cylinder into a V8 and swap the Speed Density to MAF and swap the 7.5" rearend for an 8.8". Parts that I have to find is an EFI intake, Transmission, and clutch cables.

The goal for this car is a fun street car with alot of track time.
