The original Gone in 60 seconds "Eleanor" was a 1971 Mustang masquerading as a '73 Mach 1. The more recent Eleanor was a '67 fastback. My "E Clone" Mustang will combine features from both.

Engine: Initial Start Up
Today, we fired up the engine for the first time. After doing all the little things to get it ready, it started right up. We kept the rpm's between 1500 and 2000 for about 20 minutes. The oil pressure was 80 pounds, the engine temperature leveled off at 185 degrees, the oil temp was around 160 degrees but the alternator didn't seem to be working very well. Overall, the engine sounded really good with the headers and 2 and 1/2 inch exhaust.
