Your car looked awesome at the Challenge, and I have a soft spot for the 'Four Eyes" Fox Body 'Stangs. Nice job with the awards! It was really working for you guys this year.
Thank you for exposing me to the world of Little Kings BTW... now I know, and knowing is half the battle. 
Did the lizard make the trip home with you guys?
I still haven't had one of those wretched Little Kings.
The lizard has a new home in sunny Ohio
I love the challenge
The hockey stick's pulse and the decal over the Ford emblem on the hood are in recognition of my wife's heart problems for those who didn't notice
Ugh, little green bottles of death. 
At least I beat you in the nasty beer challenge.
In reply to Gearheadotaku: That was a comprehensive win, Michigan definitely has some awful beer.
Thanks for the support call Jeff, I really enjoyed that.
Another stolen photo, this is a good one

I watched Ed's Teal Plastic Mustang get weighed, he was 2568 without the driver, with the autocross front end. My steel Mustang weighed 2677 without the driver. I was very happy with that. My weight was definitely further forward than his though, this too shall be addressed. Last year, sans rollcage, we were 2727lbs. I would kill for aluminum heads

Post $2013 update,
Engine is out, engine bay is stripped down to bare metal, time to patch some holes. Have you ever seen how many small OEM holes are in the Fox engine bay.
Located a fuel cell, replacing the stock tank and upgrading the fuel lines to a larger diameter.
Engine is torn down, it has been revealing, the engine is a poorly rebuilt 351, not a 408 as advertised. It had problems at the challenge, dumping oil out the drivers side and a tic in the bottom end.
The engine is getting rebuilt from scratch now we know what we are dealing with.
A couple of pics from GRM
The engine was not good, this is what we found when we tore into the 351
Not pretty, it's impressive that is ran as well as it did.
Now we are doing something a little more performance oriented for the Rustang next.
Whoa! That cam is terrible! What in the world did the PO do?
The cam was ruined
Then caps # 7 and 8 are backwards
Wow, it's a wonder it ran like that and didn't wipe a lobe out completely. Wasn't this the supposed 700 hp engine you bought?
Block was a 74, found a few issues with the updates done by the builder.
Block had a crack in it as well.
How could blocking the oil galleys be a problem?
It was the engine that was in the car, the PO claimed it had all sorts of good parts in it but I always had my doubts, seems I was on the right track.
It makes our results even better IMHO, 13.306 with a badly wounded engine is pretty decent.

Poor Windsor.
One of my favorite cars. I'm excited that it will be getting a healthy engine and other updates.
In reply to aussiesmg:
The roller lifter retrofit probably isnt a big deal. Its pretty common to install stand pipes in the holes in the middle of the lifter valley on SBC builds to prevent excess oil from getting on the cam, and just having the front and rear holes to drain all oil back to the bottom.
I know the super stock guys do it and with other oil control things it can free up a few horses.
If you dont want to run a spider and dogbone setup, you can just run link bar lifters but they are cheap
Engine Bay updates
A few teasers of the new powerplant, all handbuilt by Dickmeyer Automotive.
This may have exceeded the Challenge budget now
Specs,
432 ci,
750 ft lbs,
850 hp,
90% of available torque between 3000 and 7000 rpm,
E85 gas fed.
Tis a thing of beauty
The build details are being updated on the Book of Faces for Dickmeyer Automotive
