This GT350H has been to the dark side having a small block Chevy installed in its earlier life.

Today it travels the world with its Ford prepped small block

If you are on here Mr. & Mrs Karl and Joan Eisleben keep up the great work !

What's up with that export brace??  But I do see the welded reinforcement put in place at the firewall.  Wow, I am becoming a Bob Gaines wannabe.

As an addendum, the rearview mirror is wrong (looks like a day/nite mirror) but in the earlier photo looks correct.  Further addendum, Chevy engines are cheap.  Ford engines are expensive and better built (tunnel port excluded).

The current way the car is driven, I also would reinforce it as much as possible

All those items can be reversed by the touch of a magic wand and certainly some good old "cash money"

These good people fulfilling their dreams;

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming

"Wow! What a Ride!
