    i had a howard cam,fenton headers and offy intake on shelf from a trade in the past.a pal of mine had a rebuilt head.sooo putting together only cost some machine work and few lower end parts.i had the mustang II in the garage, was going to put it in a 32 ford but stayed with solid axle and fenderless.this cleaned out the shelfs.

    First ride you'll be impressed with the mustang 11, better ride and control than any straight axle. Looks like you are near completed?

    Make sure you have some Zinc in your oil when you start it up. Don't want the solid lifter cam going flat.
