Well today I was going to do an oil change on White Lightning and check the plugs in the 5.0 and just a few routine check ups. I climb under the car and see that the 90k stock oil pan gasket is leaking, along with the valve cover gaskets, those of you whom have owned a 5.0 or have ever seen one knows upper intake must come off for valve cover gaskets boo to that....Well anyways I take the upper intake off and after about an hour if hiding/fixing wiring harness and cleaning up shit I remember that I had a GT-40 intake laying around along with a bunch of other goodies so I said F' it might as well pull the motor.....

 

The car is an 88 GT 5.0 5 speed, mods as of now will be..

 

-Mass air conversion

-GT-40 Intake with spacer ported by Gearhead

-FRPP E303 cam/or somehting else

-BBK 70mm throttle body

-freshen up stock block

-full length MM subframe connectors

- trick flow double roller timing chain

-24# injectors possibly

-canton 7qt pan/windage tray

-melling high volume oil pump

-possibly AC delete

-130 amp 3G alternator

-electric fan

 

I also plan on hiding a bunch of harnesses and cleaning up the engine bay so the car looks some what respectable.

 

Im sure im forgetting some things here are some pics of what happened today....
