Tell the world a little bit about your vehicle
I got this car in September. It was my dads. He did all of the modifications. I had to put a new clutch in it, replace the brackets for the rear brakes, trouble shoot an oil leak, and replace the plugs wires and voltage regulator, and now it is running like a champ. I even drove it to work today. It has enough torque to break the tires loose on dry pavement in second gear at 4000 RPMs, and the power keeps coming all the way up to 7000 RPM, and maybe beyond, I don't really know how high I can rev. It goes 52 MPH in 1st, and 86 MPH in second, and feels like it takes the same amount of time to run through 1st and second as it does in my evo, but I always have to short shift first, because the tires won't grip in first. I think it makes 450 HP, but have not had a chance to get it to a dyno.

Ford 351 Cleavland with forged rods and pistons Aluminum SVO heads, aluminum flywheel, roller rockers cams, MSD ignition, Holley 750 cfm with vacuum secondaries. Center-force clutch.
Suspension Modifications:
Stock
Wheels/Tires Modifications:
Polished Aluminum 235/40 R17 front 315/40 R 17 rear with Yokohama Advan 046 tires all around.

Willwood master cylinders (2 for the brakes, and 1 for the clutch), Willwood brake and clutch peddles. Willwood 12.2" vented discs all around. Outlaw calipers front WIllwood calipers rear.
Future Modifications:
Momo steering wheel, and recover the seats.
