New ford racing throwout bearing 500 miles ago

All compression and leakdown numbers are VERY good (160-175 on all cylinders last checked a couple months ago)

Stuff you should know:
1) It was side swiped once in its life when the prior owner had it. It got a new ford driver fender and the paint fixed.
2) It has the slight smoke on COLD startup that is common on DOHC motors (I suspect PCV as is typical, esp since it only happens on startup after you toy around with it). Again, compression and leak down came back very good!
3) longtubes softened the rag joint so it has about an inch of play in the steering wheel. (Im having a piece machined to replace the crappy rag joint)

I bought the car in November and it had a bad driver side head. I replaced it and did the fuel and pulley upgrades and had it retuned by Blankenship Tuning and Performance! 580 rwhp. (no torque numbers as it spun on the dyno which is seen in the video and on the dyno sheet)

This car's interior literally looks like its never been sat in! Not even a crack in the driver seat bolster. Lee (Blankenship's) said its the first terminator he's ever seen with a non-leaking rear differential. Car has never been to the track. When I got it it was on stock fuel system with a stock 3.5" upper whipple pulley on 13psi. First owner did 80% of the mods just for show and daily driving.

I have receipts for EVERYTHING but the clutch.

Cylinder bores still have the cross hatch marking and tops of the slugs were perfect

Nice ride! Breaking up the matched pair?

I sold the lightning to get this so I dont have a pair unfortunately.

We'll be moving here in the next ~2 months and I'll lose my work vehicle switching jobs. I swapped from the lightning to the terminator for my eventual DD...just hate to do it to such a clean vehicle in a pretty rare color. Still low miles (less than 7k a year on average).

I put in my OP a GT500....but now Im thinking an auto 5.0 would be the best DD...

9.5/10 interior....SUPER clean for a August 2002 built car. The two owners prior to me cared for it really well. The owner just before me only put 5k miles on it in the 2 years he owned it.

Normally the driver seat bolster is cracked to PIECES.....My last 2 mach's were 70k+ miles and had evident cracks on the driver seat bolster leather.

Not a crack in site

and in case anyone is into that sorta thing...if my math is right, only Satin Silver and Competition Orange are more rare as far as colors go.
