DrummerMike Wheels & Column Mod w/ Pce of Radiator Aluminum.
The WHEELS are stock 96/97 MUSTANG GT 17"X 8" with AMERICAN RACING screw-on SPINNER TOWERS and SPINNERS. I used FINISH LINES emblems in the centers.  The STEERING HUB SLEEVE is a three inch (3") piece for the FFR UPPER RADIATOR hose extension that I cut off.

Impressions:

Running 5 lbs. boost currently with approximately 9.3:1 Compression (forged Pistons, gapless rings, iron GT40 Heads with some work, "f" cam, Ford hi-po roller rockers, MSD 6AL etc.)  Starts easily, revs quickly, runs cool - feels real strong... only problem is tires...not easy to get bite.

With the Tri-State Aluminum Radiator (highly recommend), a 160 Thermostat and newer Ford Fan it runs COOL.  No fan required as long as your moving, stays between 40-70 C!

Radiator hose routing is less than optimum but it's parts I had laying around and it works.

Had to add a new  Alternator, the 130 amp "G3" - single wire with internal exciter.  Now I can run the fan, lights on high beam and turn signals (that's all the electrical I got...) and not be discharging.
