1 gal at auto zoo was $19.95 however I did pick up a 50' garden hose for $8.95. Dont know why they had a garden hose, dont know why it was cheap, but its mine now.

Cool to hear about the car getting tuned Vittorio. Are you using a stock turbo? any plans for brake upgrades? also do you remember which mustang tranny mount is used as an engine mount? What did you do for trans mounts?

Headed off to Nashville for CT training in a week. I hope to have a long block ready to assemble by then, but I'm waiting on arp studs and I cant find rings. Anyone have a good online supplier? Same goes for main bearings, Company I talked to would only sell them in sets of 4 (dern 5cyls)

I appreciate the help, I dont have time to do any research this week. The boss is flying in to take my place the week i'm gone and I want it to go smoothly.

Stock k24 turbo right now, should be sufficient for the first few events - would like to go to a Garret 2871r - but that's a rather big expense - I could do another rally with the money smiling smiley. I'd like to get as much out of the k24 and see where that brings me.

For motor and tranny mounts I used 034 solid mounts. Aluminum bushings in the subframe also.

I can source rings from 034 for you if you'd like. Vittorio (att) mybares followed by the regular com, I could probably save you a few bucks...
