Thanks for the offer. It's going to be a long while before I start the build process and then it'll probably be getting a modular long block 5.0 from Ford Motorsports or whatever may be available once during that time.
The Crown Victoria (which is slowly being phased out where I live) runs the DOHC version of what I had a 1996 Thunderbird- which I gave away. Being also familiar with the 280 c.i.d I have to say that it's really good and reliable product with a decent amount of power behind it.

Just a small update today. I've been battling a nasty cold for almost a week now. I finally felt "ok enough" to do a little bit of work in the garage today.

I posted up some video where you can take a closer look at the BlackBerry 10 software that controls the car's systems

I usually get quite a few questions around where exactly I build the BatBerry. A lot of people think I have a dedicated shop where I work on the car.

Most people are pretty surprised when they hear that I work on it right out of my standard attached two car garage.

To dispel the myths and rumors I figured I would post a little inside tour of the BatCave

Gotta have some fun by cutting a hole in the trunk!

Don't worry it was a planned necessary evil that had to be done. I made some good progress on the trunk latching mechanism today

I made my first attempt at the trunk latch mechanism. The result of the first attempt... not so good

But the experience gave me more ideas of how to solve the problem

WooHoo!!! After taking some time to think about the problem I finally had success with the Trunk Latch.

Take that trunk! I posted some video in the blog post as well

Nice
Do you have any plans so that the shock from closing the deck lid is distributed over a larger area of the lid and not in such an acute area?
This too prevent stress, distortions and possible fracturing over time.
