Started My Second Project Today

[james]

I have two cars for this project, one is 2007 Ford Mustang Gt Premium (4.6l) or a 1966 Mercury Comet Cyclone. Since I am in my early 70's (73) to be exact and I'm old school I am opting for the Comet. The following is my build sheet. I already ordered (today) the Jon Kaase nine heads and the Boss 429 Valve Covers that's why they are not on the list. Btw, Jon Kaase put this build in a 2008 Mustang. My build is a 572ci where his was a 589ci. They recommend to stay with the more streetable 572 which wll produce 800 to 900hp.

Love that Comet!  Do you have everything to make it a complete runner?

My Machine shop/engine builder received the 460 hemi/block today from Jon Kaase. Waiting on the heads to be finished in about two weeks.   Had trouble posting the photo, sorry.

I forgot to address this, my bad. Yes I have every single thing to complet the car. Just waiting on the motor. Thank You!

That's cool James. Have fun on your journey with the cars. Sounds like you're loading up with good parts.

I really liked the Kaase build, I think it was one thing away from perfect, well 2 things.  EFI and A/C

Not so fast, check this out. http://jonkaaseracingengines.com/product-category/efi/

And I'm sure you can add ac if you want.

I know he can do it, he is a sharp cat.  I just meant on the Mustang conversion, the next level would have been to retain all electronic functions.

Heck, my 489 does, and I am just a knuckle-dragger

Well its been two months and here is a couple of pictures of the 460/572 Boss 9 hemi. It should be completed in about 2 to 3 weeks.  https://i.imgur.com/95U6gyp.jpg  https://i.imgur.com/gugbBl4.jpg

[james]

The Boss 9 is one week away from being completed. Picture of the heads and the T&D rockers. I talked with Jon Kaase yesterday and he said he had to "deburr" the 4500 Intake Manifold and will send it out today. I just got the delivery date from UPS a few minutes ago.

wow, I’m more of an FE guy but gotta tip my hat to the Kasse 385 stuff, that car is going to be epic.
Thanks for sharing and keep posting picks.
