Baptist, the front end of the motor is the same as the top of an outboard. The coils fire the CD ignition and another one charges the electrical system. The rivets should be ok. if they leak I'll deal with it later. I expect I'll have more rock damage vs rivet leaks in the end.
The stang, '93 vintage. Has the SAAC emblems and engine dress. ROH 16 wheels, cobra spoiler, cobra 'R' hood, lowered a bit. Factory rear window louvers. I've done just about everything to this car over the last couple years. Ran a 11.78 at 118, usually passes emmisions too.
Motor is a .030" 302, AFR 185 heads, mild Crane cam (smaller than an 'E' cam). 1.6 roller rockers. Vintage '95 factory polished GT40 intake setup straightened, ported and polished on the inside by me. Vintage '95 Paxton SN-92 series ball drive blower, 6psi on a good day. All the pipe is stainless 3" dairy pipe I fabbed up. Exhaust is BBK 1 5/8" longtubes ported, etc. Stainless 2.5" X pipe I made, MAC 2.5 cat back flowing into a pair of 3" tips (dairy pipe). SVO (cobra) tailights. Interior has a guage vent housing I made so the gauges would aim to the driver. Tach mount is just siliconed to the dash, but looks bolts to deter the idiots.

Car dyno'd out at 390 rwhp and 400ftlbs of torque at 5200rpm. Torque monster setup will spin the tires pretty easily with 3.55 gears.
