Ughhhh.


I spose I will swap to a tubular K and long tubes since it would take only a few mins.



And the Snow ball starts rolling down hill.......

Haha! thanks!


It's going to be a slow process. The first thing being swapped INTO the Bullitt will be the fresh built and powdercoated IRS and a new cat back.

I am going to hold off on the engine swap until everything is perfect. Getting all the brackets and stuff powder coated. Pulley and idlers, ported blower etc...

I just have to keep telling myself it all doesn't have to be done at once.

That is my problem, I am impatient lol!

you and me both! After i built my motor and decided i was going to buy a bigger blower........i ended up painting the entire car and buying a t56 in the same 2 weeks! Guess i got jumpy about it all, so sold the trans to re-coup a little bit of money

Are you going to put everything you take out of the bullitt into the laser red v6 and sell it?

No the 99 is going to be chopped down to nothing.


Too much work to put that drivetrain back in and sell it. Isn't worth shit as a 6 cyl title.

OK
From one Terminated Bullitt owner to a future one -- good luck! My advice is to be patient in the swap and keep persisting, it's easy to get burned out. If you have any questions lemme know!

Only a little more left to pull on the Fobra.

I have saved the dash for last. I am re-using the dash harness from the 03 for the simplicity of plug and plug for the ECU and instrument cluster.

I have to get the Computer re-flashed for the ignition and keys on the Bullitt.(pats)

I also need to see if I can find a Ford tech that can re-flash the instrument cluster for me as well, The cobra cluster says 80k on it. The car has 23k on it. Would like to have it match up.

You will be more than happy with those continentals! Mine stick really well, especially for having the stock size. Also your build is coming along beautifully! I was in a rush with mine, it took 12 days, I saved all the polishing for last. Good luck and I hope to see that thing rippin' up the streets!:rockon:

If you are a Bullitt purist that thinks these cars are God's gift to the Mustang community and should be preserved this is not the thread for you LOL! not trying to be a smart a$$ just sayin!
Greatest comment ever. :beer: Purist are well...... I'll just leave that alone. :rollseyes

Hope to do something like this with my Bullitt one day.
