Hey no Problem, It was a great time. Either one of those Mondays should be fine with me, I usually go down a bit later though, closer to 7 or so. We also should maybe scope out some Junk yards for possible meet ups and good part hunting. Leveilles sounds like it would be a good choice.

Another Idea I had, although it would be up to you guys is help wrenching on stuff, I live in a condo so it's a bitch to take on larger projects. I know Nick has some stuff to do to the Towncar, and I have some Heads and such to put on mine, maybe we could trade off wrenching help in the future?Resident diesel addictComment

Thats sounds good as well. Just let me know when you need help, and pending availability, I will be more than happy.Originally posted by FastGallopingPonies View Post**2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302: 5.0/ 6 spd/ 3.73s, 20K Cruiser

I like both those ideas quite a bit, especially the wrenching one. I just found out tonight my brother's graduation is on the 23rd, and I'd really like to be there for him. That probably won't get done until past 8 so I unfortunately won't be able to make it to Mark's that night. The 30th is cool with me though.
I'd really enjoy just hanging out and working on one of our cars too if you guys wanna do that. Just let me know when.Comment

Just hanging out and working on stuff sounds great to me. I have an HO swap to do someday if you guys are interested in helping. Nick if you get all the parts together for the 5 speed swap I'm sure we could get it done pretty quickly with the help.Resident diesel addictComment

Oh man, that would be REALLY sweet. I don't know how soon it'll happen though... it's starting to look like it won't until next year, since the car's going to be staying at school probably by next month so I can start taking it apart and painting it. I still have to compile all the parts though.
I'd love to help out with an HO conversion too.

No pics Scott. What do we need pics for anyway? I actually had a camera (from BOM pics in the morning), but I wasn't feeling the need to snap a bunch of pics... besides, CSJ wants to keep his car under wraps until its done.
The HO conversion sounds good. If you have the parts, lets get it done.**2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302: 5.0/ 6 spd/ 3.73s, 20K Cruiser

Just need an explorer cam and an ECM and then if one of you guys has a place to do it. I'd be very happy and cover lunch.Resident diesel addictComment

I might be able to arrange something. I'm not on good terms with my Dad right now, but that may change. I have a great friend though, and as long as it doesn't lay around at his shop (one guys car has been there for two weeks now...lol), he would be happy to let us use his space. But, I think we could bang out the swap in fairly short order... My friend would probably even like to help.**2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302: 5.0/ 6 spd/ 3.73s, 20K Cruiser

I don't think it would take all that long if we were all to attack it. As long as we didn't hit any bumps or unexpected problems.Resident diesel addictComment

My friend and I knocked out my car in a total of 6 hours, over two days. Its not that serious, and we even had a few road blocks. Have you ever had the intake off before? The lower?**2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302: 5.0/ 6 spd/ 3.73s, 20K Cruiser

What kind of ECM are you looking for? A Mark VII (will retain factory cruise control but will limit you to Speed Density) ECM, or a Mustang (no factory cruise, but you can buy one with Mass Air) ECM?
EDIT: Wait, you said your cruise didn't work anyway... does that mean you'd settle for a Mustang ECM? Those are easier (and cheaper most of the time) to find.Comment

Nate: never had anything major on this Engine off, other then the Exhaust manifolds I took off.
Nick: My car has no Cruise, the story I was telling you guys about was in my old '91 Vic. I have a lead on a DA1 Mustang computer which from my understanding if fine. it's from a '88, manual car which is better I guess for the throttle response and such.
Once I get everything I possibly need, maybe you can get in touch with your friend Nate and we can get this thing banged out, I'd be Much-O grateful.Resident diesel addictComment
