We recently installed new GT40-X aluminum heads, Ford racing X-303 Camshaft, BBK metal ceramic headers and chrome Ford Racing valve covers. Picked up a bunch of horse power not to mention a bright engine compartment. Seems like it was truly worth the hard work. Check out last page for this upgrade!! The Pumpkin is back home for Halloween !! There is a lot of work to be done and with the weather changing it won't be easy. Everlast Upholstery did a quality job and the interior looks great. Check page 31 for latest pics.....This page is dedicated to "The Pumpkin", my 1981 Ford Mustang that I purchased on August 4th,1981 from Garden State Ford located on Rt.22 in Watchung NJ. Price at that time was $8300 and was taken right off the showroom floor. The Pumpkin has the distinction of being the first car I ever owned. After years of neglect,and many saves from the junkyard, it has been given a new life. The original 2.3 liter overhead cam engine had been swapped with a 1984 302 HO but due to unforeseen problems a 1986 .030 over HO engine will become the power plant. Also included in this major upgrade was the K member, transmission, Ford Racing aluminum driveshaft and 8.8 rear end with .373 gear ratio. Special thanks go out to T&E Auto Wreckers Avenel, Robert Sr and my fellow IBEW Local 94 Brothers at the Elizabeth garage, particulary Lacell, Paul and The Tzar!! I have included a few pictures that have documented this classic endeavour. Be sure to check out all pages and Thank you for visiting !!
