Say it isn’t so! I took a lot of heat when I started asking around about a trailer hitch for the coupe. I’ve seen numerous sports cars with small tire trailers at the local AutoX and open-track events. A Porsche here or there and even a Ford GT..so why not a lowly Mustang? I don’t own (or want to own) a large truck or a car trailer – so this seemed like a great way to get my tires and gear to the track without dirtying up the inside of the car.

Harbor Freight sells these little gems for just over $200 – and I found a 20% off coupon that I used to buy mine. Welded up a bracket, cut up some 2x4s and I’m ready to go.

The hitch I used was previously made by Reese and is called a “Shadow Mount” – because when you remove the receiver, you install a slim plastic cover and it makes it somewhat less of an eye-sore. At least, not NEARLY as intrusive as the standard hitches out there. Best of all, I can remove it completely in about 10 minutes.

Why am I doing this? Check out Track Guys – they put on a number of HPDE (High Performance Drivers Education) events at REAL racetracks all over the country. If you want to see what YOU can do, in YOUR car on a REAL race track – these are the guys to call. New drivers will have the benefit of an instructor in your car during track sessions (while you drive). Additional classroom training takes place in between your track sessions. I’m going to make a new post about the Sebring event shortly.

If you’d like to get involved in open track events with your Mustang or other sports car, check out http://www.trackguys.com. This organization is great for everyone. The event is separated into groups – the beginner groups requiring an instructor in the car (this is an excellent way to learn and stay safe!) and the more advanced groups running solo.

Here’s a pic of the installed engine.  I painted the engine cover and intake to better match the car – and to make it a little different.

Yesterday, I received the Boss 302 heads for my build.  The runners and chambers are CNC ported and look great.  I should be able to start engine assembly next week.

This discontinued version of the block as part number M-6010-A50L4V

One thing that I noticed right away was that many of the machined surfaces inside the block had numerous burrs and shavings just waiting to fall off into the engine oil.  Technically, these should get picked up by the oil filter but why chance it?

I used a small round file to knock off all of the free/extra aluminum that Ford had to offer.  I’m more comfortable with it on the floor of my garage vs my oil pan.

First, remove the OEM seat tracks from the Boss seats.

Note, the OE seat track for the drivers seat also had a manual control lever that is integrated into the track.  You must remove the lever and then use the cap that originally attached to the lever to fill the empty hole.

The Fox seat tracks mount to the seat on a 14″ x 14″ square pattern.  You can see here that the stock track rests on an edge that is on boss seats.  This was just about right.

I riveted the tracks in first to test fitment.

Finally ran bolts with lock washers and this was the result.

Sorry about the poor lighting.  Next is to get some suspension back under the car – then some outside shots!
