He's the reason I bought this car. 👍

@@Jfrgarage I never would have guessed ;) Luved the Turbo spooling up on those brake stands.

@@WillieChristopher-ne4my I have two 2 Doors sitting in my barn to convert this winter 👍

I think 156 is the fastest it's been. Just started to get a the 330 down and our season has ended. That pass was like a high 1.6*'

Worked for a shop in Canoga Park ca in th e80s that had an authentic Tbolt. Untouched...never forget the way that car sounded, absolutely wicked. You hear a small block, you feel a big block. Thunder!

Thunderbolts are awesome cars.

Twin turbo 557/c6

@@Jfrgarage Thats incredible..cant imagine the amout of work in the chassis to make that car go straight. Thats a whole 'nother level of fast. Ill stick to 11s

95-01 Mustang conversion mount plates. I actually reused the 4.6 dohc motor mounts.

To piss purists off clearly.

No, he did not buy mine.

Haha! Was thinking the same thing!! Cleetus and his “stock” Marauder

And? He built something that makes him happy. Would you like it if I started bagging on your build that you loved and built in your vision? It's a cool ride and it takes hard work to make stuff like that come together.

@@joshualong1782 I doubt this was much of a "vision". Sure there was labor. But the idea of the build was to replace a rare, sought after motor with the least original motor he could've possibly picked for the swap. It is pure blasphemy, the builder claims it himself. "I want to piss off purists", he said. If he wanted to be original and actually put forth the effort to swap a more original motor in it, he could've chose a Coyote 5.0, a 5.2 Voodoo, a 7.3 Godzilla, a 4.0 Barra, a 3.5 Ecoboost, any of the several modern Ford engines that will all hold 800hp or more. I hope he enjoys his car, but the Marauder is a sacred car to blue oval fans. It is only special because of the 4V 4.6. The 351W spanked the shit out of the Chevy 350. But I wouldn't dare put one in a C4 Corvette. You can respect the car, while still acknowledging that its existence is blasphemous.

Did u also change transmission i juz bought it motor blown so im bringing her bacc 2life #Marauder gang👍🏼

2005 5.3

I probably should of just painted it some gawdy flake color and put some 24s on it instead.

I'm just saying, one of the appeals of the Marauder is the engine, since no other panther ever got that engine, when you take that away your just left with another panther body, why not just buy a P71, put the LS engine in that and then swap the grille to look like a Marauder, it would have been cheaper too.

Because I bought it cheap out of Chicago fresh from texas (I'm in Michigan, rust belt) with 225k hard unmaintained miles and a worn out engine and trans. Nothing special about a aviator, marauder engine.

@@Jfrgarage I guess that's fair.

jrburger95 Because P71’s are lame.. Not too mention it surely takes more than a grille. You could swap everything you want but the VIN remains the same. As much as I don’t care for brand swapping (mostly 20’s/30’s Fords with the typical 350 🤮) this one’s very nicely done! Riding in style > yet another clapped out cop car.

Lots of changes made this off season. Only was able to get to the track twice last fall before it went in storage.

Mood?
