Challenge Cars?
Can we have some pictures of challenge cars? Action shots or just the car itself? Cool things that a normal street car wouldn't have or need would be nice too.

Be careful when using the FORD manual for torque specs. There was an update to the manual that we were using, but didn't know it. The spec in the book was twice what it should have been for the intake bolts.
