V8 conversion 444-544

He used shorty headers from a 1985 5.0 Mustang. Would like a close up of these to see how he made them fit... By the way, there's also a fourspeed automatic transmission from a 1985 Ford Crown Victoria in there. Rear axle seems to have been the easy part as a 3.42 from a Chevy S-10 2wd appeared to have the same width as the original, which is something to keep in mind. Also it would be interesting to see how the rack and pinion steering from a Toyota Tercel has been mounted. He ended up with a front/rear weight distribution of 53,5%/46,5% instead of 51,7%/48,3% for the original car.
