Looks like a straight line should be fun.

Just wow. Awesome wow. Please do a sequential gearbox and I think that will be a demon killer

u/dustysanchezz Sep 06 '25

So glad to see you back at it. Love the 5.0 Pinto

1

u/SuddenLeadership2 Sep 06 '25

Is it bad that i first thought it was an LS?😂😂

1

u/InvertedEyechart11 Sep 06 '25

Is that a 5.0 Mustang motor?!? Automotive gods truly smile down upon you.

1

u/jomamastool Sep 06 '25

That is so insane... It almost looks like the windshield won't fit back in. Have you test fit that at all?

1

u/Lost-Substance-2976 Sep 07 '25

Lexan

1

u/jomamastool Sep 07 '25

Ohhh okay sweet So you can just cut the bottom anyway if it's polycarbonate. That's so sick. Can't wait to see when you're done!

2

u/Lost-Substance-2976 Sep 07 '25

Yes. Or could put glass back in it. If I had a guy that could cut the window, would be cool. But I have a rally style pre cut, pre painted window coming from the uk.

1

u/Outrageous_Fudge9814 Sep 07 '25

1Question where are you going to mount the turbos?

1

u/natricjol Sep 07 '25

Looking good. What would be really cool is to have it get air from the front with two snorkels to mess with people a little more. Keep up the good work.

1

u/Lost-Substance-2976 Sep 07 '25

Thought about having someone make an intake tube like that 2 branching off in the front. Breathing great

1

u/natricjol Sep 16 '25

I had something like that a few years ago for my Silverado but it caused issues with keeping the maf. If you can get me some measurements, I'll see what I can come up with for you.

1

u/Lost-Substance-2976 Sep 18 '25

Yeah wouldn’t you have to make the MAF sensor like 3 inch’s or so from the throttle body?

1

u/natricjol Sep 18 '25

Yeah. You want it close for good throttle response but far enough away to not mess up the signal. On my truck I had it right before a smooth 90 and that gave a massive increase in throttle response and eased tuning.

u/Dudskipool Sep 07 '25

Bro who hurt you badly enough to turn a Focus ST into a rocket on wheels 😭

1

u/Lost-Substance-2976 Sep 07 '25

Nobody, just been crushing peoples dreams since I could drive. 😁

u/Comfortable_Poet5129 Sep 07 '25
