I am calling this REV3.0 for the car.
Currently we are a Fuel Injected 5.3L FRPP boss block with the SVO x303 heads, 1990 "snakes" tubular cobra intake with 24LB Injectors and a Modified Cobra Mustang X3U computer. I moved the Indexing of the camshaft 4" advanced and it feels soo much better and spools like mad. Had to ditch the stewart waterpump and go edelbrock, also put on a canton boss302
oil pan and moved the dipstick to the front.
However, ---The *major* upgrade in 3.0 --is the T56 6 speed transmission (FR M-7003-H) that is now all setup
( I am going to write an article on that one -- wow it is neat stuff, 80mph is 2000 RPM. )
I also upgraded the undercar exhaust with a pair of 24" magnaflow mufflers which helped tremendously in many areas, 2.25" all the way through, no crimpied pipes as we updated the sway bar mounts ,- and very quiet at speed.
The interior upgrade was courtesy of a 1980 Mercedes SL Forrest Green carpet and similar color leather trim.
My interior guys took the back leather panels out of the seats (rear of seeat toward cabin backboard) and replaced them with carpeting (like AC used to) that way we got the leather for the shift boot, and a couple other things.
Since I had blown the carpet in the "Detonate-The-Heater-Core" episode, this was needed and the bunny-rabbit tan wasnt quite aston-martin enough for me.
The heater system has been replaced by a neat unit from Vintage Air that we modifed the SPF dash/floor vent motor system to work with.
New fog lights: Bob and I worked on a tab mounts for the NOS marchal fog-lamps that I was fortunate enough to obtain.
So the car is really coming along, I need to figure out a few things but I really like driving this thing now. speedy, quiet, usable, flexible and stops people dead in their tracks in carmel.
