sleeper!!!!!!!! so far its got a 5.0 ho offroad h pipe w 1 chamber flow masters and dumps. it sounds like  cruising not intimdating at all till you crack in to it and it screams every one local loves the car .its got 4:!0s with a trac loc. saving up for aluminum heads probably gonna keep stock cam tho i want a smooth and not intimdating idle. i plan on spraying 100 shot on her. planning on install the shift kit asap. ive also got a edelbrock intake manifold  and a 255 pump for it . need to get a regulator and ill swap intakes. the suspension is all original and worn out. so the car squat and launches great evan on the street. i can stomp it from a dead stop  and she hooks .ive benn building stangs for years this is my first cougar tho.

Put the new motor in it. Keep it. You have done alot of work already and won't get your money out of it that you put in it.

Run with the big dogs. I really wanted to do a fuel injected 460/e4od in my bird. I just could not find a good engine/trans. So I went with the 351w.

Instead I am going to do a 6.8L V10 swap into my 02 Expedition.
