Yes and of course he forgot that you have to set the gears just right shimming and torquing and mesuring or else the rear end can grenade. He also is apparrently using the cheapest headers and exhaust available as good stainless are like $1500 especially if you want good cats or even to reuse them... and a good exhaust $1200+ And dont forget to buy a nice wire feed welder to put it together or you have the problems of those dang breaking header to exhaust gaskets when you scrape accidentally. And he missed a idler relocator possibly, different belt, and a real comfortable driveway to jack it up and weld around the x pipe and various sections you have to join together or.....use muffler clamps....
Franlky this was to get attention to livernois and thier excellent package which I found to be the best deal in all my researching. And yes I of course researched buying a gt 500. Frankly the zl1 is just by far a better deal and much cooler looking and original in my opinion. I am sure hordes of the mustang faithful will worship it and the 200k + a gt500 super snake. And then theres those of us who would spend 270k and buy a fleet of zl1's.
And the cam is it that agressive that it will wear the springs out in two years? I dont think so......its coming with good springs and a cam etc etc and I did not think it that high of a lift.........I have had a lot of cammed engines and never had springs go bad quickly. I have had a cam wear out once from sticky lifter bores due to a block needed its align honing better on the bores....they wore down within a month.
And of course seperate drag radials are required.
Those goodyears are spendy but they are not all that ......frankly I am going for pirellis because I am in the northwest for street driving. I just doubt that they can be put on at the factory for extra money......And since I am in tight with my les schwab they will do me a good trade with some extra cash. I know it is going to take some good cash, But the smiles will be worth it for this old vet. And frankly I have not watched back to the future movies in years and years....
I did happen to laugh my A off at a couple ricers racing by my work Truck the other day. One little green honda crx with really bad rear camber and little ricer rims sticking out like a mexican....
daring some guys black honda with front end damage at a stop light....He was revvvvving his engine and got his but kicked.......lol And his car back fired like five times out his big honda boy exhaust.......Man it made me laugh I wish I could have shown it to you all.
