Hi all... I just purchased my first Mustang yesterday. It's a '90 5.0 fastback, lowered 2", Flowmaster, K&N, short shift kit, but basically stock beyond that. I have wanted onse since I was a teen, and now that middle-age is approaching, I thought 'what the heck', and just did it. It is purchased as a second car (the other family vehicle is a 4Runner), and has lots and lots of miles on it, but the price was very right!

Anyway, I have a small list of upgrades I'd like to do, including beefing up the cams, cleaning up the look of the engine bay, and adding a rollbar or roll-cage. I'd rather make my own cage, so does anyone have any dimensions and photos of a welded rollbar or cage?

Cool site, by the way--I look forward to reading every single post!

Cheers!

Ya, only one cam unless you bought it with a 4.6 mod motor in there [img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]

(Not sure why you are doing a cage at this point...)
But For starters I recommened reading these articles/projects:

Thanks for the links...

Yup, "camS" was a typo--that's a former Toyota DOHC guy talkin'!

As far as the cage, a bar will do--all my vehicles have rollbars, after learning my lesson rolling a Duster in my youth--I was almost killed, and I don't trust factory roofs anymore!
