8s for 8 Mustang

Alrighty then, so here we go with the 8s for 8 mustang build page, this project started off mainly because marks mustang (the 7 sec white notch) was such a success and we had so much fun with it, we had talked for years about teaming up and building a new car, buying a roller and finishing it and having some fun, along the way i decided on the 8s for 8 mantra because i knew i could do it, so when the new holley ECU came out terminator X lineup , and they asked if i would like to partner with them on it, i said absolutely this is going to be incredible for budget builds.


so without further delay, we knew we would do a mustang of sorts, but fox notch, like 88-91 platform has been going up along with new edge 99-02 is body style rollers, so they were out of the question, we stumbled apon this sn95 mustang 1995 roller with tons of go fast goodies on and and just unfinished and jumped on it.

the plan was to use the terminator x, a th400, a turbo LS cheapest possible, and sort out the rest as we go, being more opportunistic or future proofing if we can.


the budget 8s for 8, wich i talked about at length in the beginning videos just meant, in the 8k range, not under, not over, but in the 8000-8999 range, so if i was low on some things, i would take the liberty to buy nicer stuff, or spend money in places in order to future proof or just plain make stuff look nicer if i could.
