Not a bad combonation. It seems a little light on hp though for what I think is 511 cubes. My 431 is right at 500 and a lot smaller and a lot cheaper.

Be super cool to own a Roush set up though...or even to just be able to afford it.

Check this out, when you win the lottery, you can just order you a complete powertrain package for that Gal and be on your way without the hassles of matching trans and engine etc.

Wait a minute there Bunkie - isn't the 4100 a Brand-X sourced (OD) transmission? I guess they are using an adapter to bolt it up behind an FE.

Well .... there goes the neighborhood! "bout as welcome as a beer and sauage fart in elevator.

OK, the idea is great, so I guess I'm just a snob at heart. After carrying the FE/Galaxie banner for all these years - the entrance exam has been lower way below 'jock' down to 'dufuss (with a credit card)' level.

Time to put on brave smile and get ready for the new neighbors. I just hope they know enough to park in front of their own house.

I actually had a chance to talk to the Project Manager at Roush on this. I ran into him at the Ford Engineering car show this year. I took my car and they were showing off a '67 mustang done up as well. It's a great idea....but i doubt they will be giving me one for my budget...

I used to work right down the road from these guys and hope to go see this gal in person soon! ....the car was originally champagne...like what mine was....do you think i inspired them to go with black?

Too bad it wasn't red! LOL I just wonder how many of these will actually sell with the price tag? Who knows, with the mix of Ford and "brand X" it might be the first before the big merger of the big 3. LOL

I don't know much about the dif transmissions. But most want someting beefier than the stock and usually go to the C6 but if this 4R100 is even more so and is more modern I can see people going for it instead if they can fit it in there.

63galaxiexl needs to get down there and investigate for us so we get a more "honest" for lack of a better word, opinion on it. Sometimes advertising leaves out some of the intricacies (sp) of the job at hand and the buyer only learns as they dive into the project what snags might come along.

Shoot beo, you need a weekender vacation don't ya? Get down/over there and find out what the heck is going on and what it took to accomplish it. :)

I guess they can't all be red huh? I actually like black also, so guess it will do. :)

Looking forward to the intel! ;)
