More details on the dash, please.
How does it bolt in, what are you doing about ducting, what's it out of...that sort of thing.

If your talking about ac/heater vent work I deleted all that since this is a all out race/drift car. The fittment to the windshield was done by laying the rx7 dash defrost piece up to it to make your cut lines...I used a air die grinder to cut the dash to fit against the windshield, very little needs to be cut. Then I just made my mounting tabs which ill post up some pics of that as soon as I pull the dash out again. Width wise the dash fits perfect!


More details on the dash, please.

Yes my mounts will work with your sohc 4.6 since all mod motor sohc 4.6,5.4, and dohc 4.6,5.4 use the same mounts. For the brakes I used the hydroboost and matching 01 mustang 5 speed pedal box... re-drilled the fire wall and bolted them up since they sandwich themselves together. For the clutch cable I drilled the fire wall and notched the inside of the body for the clutch cable quadrant clearence as you can see in my pics.


i also am intrested in the in the dash swap i have 2 sn95 mustangs. also more info on the brake booster i have a 4.6 sohc non pi shell dash engine trans and wire harness and i have a gutted fc and would be intrested in making the 2 a pair so the more the better. do you think the mounts you made would work?
