Awesome build! I enjoyed every page of it 
Where did you find that transmission speed "calculator"?
You need a 3.9, IMO, with 310rwhp/290ftlbs you'll be going thru the gears rather quickly. Also great numbers, especially on a mustang dyno!

When my old connecting rod went through the bottom of my oil pan, it took out my Power Steering rack with it. It cracked the rack in half and I didn't catch this until i noticed the entire under side of my engine was covered in power steering fluid.
Here is the old rack - Not supposed to see the actual shaft inside it and there is fluid all over the place.
Cleaned everything up like a bawse. Grinded the control arms and sub frame and then repainted it with protective enamel paint.
I while the car was in the air I pulled the bumpers and filled the emblem holes. The bumpers could have used a fresh respray anyways. I'll have these on the car tomorrow.

New toys I picked up last week.. I'm not a fan of my factory belts rubbing over the shoulder of my suede seat. Eventually it will wear and start to look like ish- So I grabbed the Street Tuner belts from Sparco. It's still a 4 point belt but it has a more daily-friendly-buckle instead of the turn buckle deal.
Notice the effect of extreme G force on my face.

push it further into the trans tunnel. Doesn't fit? hammer the living ---- out of the trans tunnel.
I seriously used a 4 lb sledge. Not that you need that big of a hammer, its just nice to have a nice large area to hit with.
