We get our project Biting the Bullitt one step closer to the street and strip by finishing up the installation of our TCI Super Streetfighter 4L80E transmission, including wiring and programming the EZ-TCU, as well as adding a cooler, pan and fluid.

Lokar Direct Fit Billet Throttle Cable System For Classic Mustangs
by Jim Smart
on December 24, 2012
We like Lokar’s billet aluminum throttle pedal assembly for classic 1965-70 Mustangs. It looks fabulous and functions very well because it completely replaces your Mustang’s factory-installed throttle linkage with crisp cable function and light throttle effort.
So how do you properly fuel and cool a 1000 hp, supercharged 1965 Mustang? Project Biting The Bullitt gets a fuel system from FUELAB and Aeroquip. We also install a custom radiator from AFCO Racing and get the car ready for its debut.
In this installment of project updates on our Project “Biting The Bullitt” supercharged 1965 Ford Mustang, we take a look at the installation of AIRAID’s U-Build-It air intake system to collect fresh air from the left fender to feed into our Paxton supercharger.
1,000 horsepower, 91 octane, and reliability are all words that you normally don’t hear together. But that is exactly what we are going for with our 427 cubic inch small block Ford destined for our ’65 Mustang we call “Biting the Bullitt”. Follow along through the entire engine build and engine dyno sessio
Upgrading the Rear Suspension of our 1965 Mustang to Handle 1000 HP

The rear suspension of a vehicle shouldn’t be a place to cheap out. With 1000 HP, we needed a way to transmit all that power to the pavement. We installed an Autoworks mini tub kit, 9-inch from Strange, suspension from Calvert, Wilwood brakes, and Weld wheels rapped in M/T drag radials into our ’65 Mustang
Anyone that has ever tried to stuff a tall deck engine into a first generation Mustang knows it can be painful. Also, the stock Mustang suspension design is a bit prehistoric, but we plan to change that by installing a TCI Mustang Custom IFS, Wilwood disc brake conversion, and more!

Check out our update on out project Biting the Bullitt 1965 Mustang where we finally get the engine on the dyno at QMP Racing. Also we update you on our TCI Mustang II front suspension conversion and preview what our next update will be.
When building a race car, one of the most misunderstood parts of the build can be the roll cage. Different frame designs and modifications made to that frame all require different attributes to the cage’s design. We break down the rules bar by bar using a Chris Alston’s Chassisworks pre-bent cage on a ’65 ‘Stang
A Load-O-Matic distributor is old technology and provided one of the first versions of a vacuum advance distributor. While this was the hot ticket when it was new, it has since been deemed archaic and troublesome. Upgrading to a DUI HEI-type distributor was going to be a simple solution to our ignition woes.
