    For Sale Lentech Street Terminator AOD - $2000 OBO

    Hope this is OK to post here! Selling my Lentech Street Terminator AOD. Torque converter is 2800 Stall. I have about 800 miles on the transmission. Decided to swap to a TKO600 in my car. Great heavy duty transmission. Lentech advertises these to be good for up to 700hp. The input shaft did...

    V6 3.5 liter w/twin turbo

    I have a 2013 Ecoboost F150 and have towed my SVO Mustang on a trailer with it. I picked the car up in northern Wisconsin and brought it back over some very hilly terrain in Southern WI to where I live in Northern IL. The truck didn't seem to skip a beat. Never once thought the truck was...

    1968 Driving a GT/CS...

    I've been able to log a few miles this summer in my GT/CS between mechanical bugs. I have never owned a car that gets so much attention. The other day I was in a parking lot and noticed a random Women taking photos of me. When the Women realized I saw this she drove up to me. Her comment...

    1968 Another one back on the road!

    Well it finally happened. I promised my son I would take him to the last day of Kindergarten in the GT/CS so I had to get it road worthy in time. Had to get an assist from a friend of mine that is a Mechanic to wrap it up. But we made it! Had to stay up to 2 am in order to wash off the barn...

    1968 Hood Scoop?

    I actually have those motor mounts. That's why I am shocked I don't have enough clearance. That said, I still need more like 2" of clearance.

    1968 Hood Scoop?

    Thanks guys! That double snorkel is bad ass Robert! I'm thinking about maybe a Shelby type hood like this one at CJ's: http://www.cjponyparts.com/hood-1968-shelby-style-fiberglass-paintable-1967-1968/p/HD44/ Might give the car a little more attitude. I'm wondering though if I gain much for...

    1968 Hood Scoop?

    Anyone put a hood scoop on their GT/CS? I'm running into a fitment issue with my 408 and might need to go that route or a different hood all together. Just wondering what it looks like. I'm thinking the Cobra Jet style. Just not sure if it looks odd with the blinker hood.

    1968 Presidential Blue Color Formula

    Jim you'll have to keep me posted on what color you land on! I will probably get my car in for paint next winter. I'll have to make sure to get the right color so we match if we ever show up at the same show locally! :smile:

    Cool! Thanks for sharing. The sounds of the cars and swinging 60s music makes for great viewing!

    1968 Getting somewhere!

    Thanks for the tip on the EBrock. The thing I like about them is that they run great out of the box, not to mention they are still American made. My Cam is a bit of a mystery I hate to admit. I told the engine builder what I wanted to do with the car and he had a comp cam made based on that...

    1968 Getting somewhere!

    I picked up an Edelbrock Thunder Series 800 CFM carb for the motor. We'll see how that runs. My engine builder recommended a Pro-Systems Carb for the motor. They are Holley based carbs that this guy reworks to his own specs. Could never get the guy to call me back so I went with an off the...

    1968 Getting somewhere!

    Thanks for the info! Those are sweet cars! Wish my 68 looked that nice! Hope to get it painted next year. From what I am reading it seems like a 3.89 gear is the way to go. I'm going to pick up the parts from Strange Engineering since they are local for me. I will say I might have to steel...

    Like the blacked out engine. Looks cool. Also very good usage of a leaf to block the license plate! Ha! Overall looks nice.

    1968 Getting somewhere!

    You got that right Rob! Just trying to figure out what gears to run in the rear right now. I had the torque converter set up more for road racing/autocross. Thinking 3.70 or 4.11. I see Strange Engineering also has a 3.89. Wondering if that is a good in between the two. I read somewhere...
