This 1999 S351 Saleen Speedster is perfect. I Purchased the car Summer of 2010. Why a Nut and Bolt restoration. I have only one way of doing cars for myself, the extreme way.I cant and wont settle for fair condition cars. The car was worthy of a full mechanical and exterior restoration even though it didnt need it. The prior owner had many performance upgrades. We returned the car to almost stock condition. I have a Saleen letter documenting the S351S. The car is in the Saleen Regestry under the prior owners name. Saleens Productions Records state the following...


Saleen Mustang 99-0025S
Ford VIN 1FAFP440XF111199
Black Exterior/Dark Charcoal interior convertible with silver graphics.
The car was manufactured with optional 3.55 gears. Housing is stamped 3.55
Saleen floor mats and wheel tire upgrade
Only 1 or 2 with these exact colors and options.
There were a total of 466  Manufactured in 1999. Of the 466 only 46 were S351 s and 26 were convertible and 7 were produced in black. 

Body....
Quarters, Doors and Deck lid are still in original body paint. All ground Spoilers were repainted. The Heat Extractor Hood after locating one was restored better than new. All graphics were replaced. Fender Emblems, Grill and Horse and Ford NOS parts. The car was professionally Sanded and Polished. The convertible top is in excellent condition and original. The rear cover was repainted and its perfect. Under Chassis is show detailed and painted.

Interior. Leather seats show usual signs of normal wear. The carpet was replaced with a Ford NOS Carpet set. Shifter Boot and instrument cluster lens and NOS Ford parts. Radio is a new Alpine unit.

Mechanically after finding the correct type engine and parts received a full rebuild. All engine bearings (standard) new, upgraded DSS pistons and a TFS Stage 2 Camshaft. Correct TFS Twisted Wedge Heads. The engine was professionally rebuild by our areas leading Ford Performance Re builder.  Correct Upper and Lower GT 40 Intake. 65 mm Throttle Body. Vortech Upgraded T Trim supercharger rebuilt by Vortech. Most to all engine hardware was re plated gold or clear cad. The Supercharger, intake and may parts I had show polished. Exhaust.... Ford Racing shorty stainless headers, BBK H Pipe and Saleen Cat Back. (I could not find the original style machine gun tip tailpipes) The under hood presentation is mind blowing. 

Drive line received a full mechanical restoration. Aluminum Flywheel, Centerforce Stage 2 clutch, T/O bearing, Full Transmission Refresh including all bearings. New Ford Clutch Cable..Rear Diff received all bearings and a fresh Ford Racing Gearset. All oils are Syentetic. Driveshaft is original Aluminum custom S351. All Drive line parts are show detailed, painted after stripping and most hardware plated.

Cooling system. I re designed the problem prone fan circuitry. A under fender 75 Amp fan Relay with an standalone fan switch was used. The radiator is original S351. All Hoses replaced.

Fuel System. A know problem with the S351. I used an Upgraded 03 04 Cobra Fuel tank with dual pumps. Relocated the EVap Module to the L/H side behind the wheel. Use the original 99 fuel feed line. Upgraded the return line to braided stainless steel Teflon. I also upgraded the fuel circuit using a 10 gauge feed wire and a 75 amp Relay.This fuel system will support in excess of 600 RWHP.  

Air Conditioning. Just to make sure all stones were turned over. I replaced the evaporator core, condenser,accumulator and hose. Also the car has a new AC compressor. 

The trunk has the all the evap cooling tubing. Quite a ton of effort to get it Federal Emissions Certified. Interesting to me is the fact that using the E Series 96 Van ecu with only one downstream Cat monitor input.The car needs 2 sensors ! Someone missed that during the certification process... 

Suspension is all rebuilt. Control arms are re bushed. New ball joints, tie rod ends, Correct Saleen springs and Struts on all 4 corners. Rear control arms are new, all hardware was cad plated and all suspension parts including the Saleen  modified engine cradle is Powder Coated. 

Breaks are Saleen S351. All parts are Power Coated and Cad Plated. ABS Module is a Ford NOS part. The Master Cylinder is a new replacement part. 

Wheel and Tires are used. Some signs of ware and a few chips. Tires are Yokohama Front 265/35/ZR18 and Rear 295/35/ZR18 Tread dept on average 7/32 to 8/32 inch.  

Electrically all circuits that were Saleen Modified were re wired. I was quite surprised at the questionable re wiring that Saleen had done. I found a ecu circuit  on the the wrong ECU pin. I have over 120 hours re wiring the saleen engine and dash ecu. I even took the time to rewire the dash ECU with a removalble 104 pin plug and wired a second DTC plug for body module communication and diagnostics. The Saleen is now Pats functional and the Dash (under seat) ECU is re flashable. I believe that there is no one more knowledgeable on the Dual Ford ECU S351 wiring that I. I found it interesting and educational. Got to hand it to Saleen. To outfit a Mustang with the last pushrod engine in the years of the mod motors was incredible.  

Keep in mind much of this work was un needed. I wanted an S351 like no other. Here it is....

2015 Ford F-150 named Truck of Texas, Lincoln and Jeep also awarded at Truck Rodeo

Tue, 14 Oct 2014

The Ford Motor Company has a lot of reasons to celebrate after winning eight categories in this year's Texas Auto Writers Association's annual Truck Rodeo. Most important among them, the Blue Oval's latest 2015 Ford F-150 earned the prestigious Truck of Texas award, ending the Ram 1500's two-year winning streak. The 2015 Lincoln MKC also grabbed the honor as the CUV of Texas, and Ford was named Truck Line of Texas.
FoMoCo even took trophies for best technology with its extensive use of aluminum on its latest F-Series and best commercial vehicle for the new Transit 250. It wasn't a total sweep, though, because the Jeep Grand Cherokee grabbed the title of the SUV of Texas for the fifth straight time.
This year's event put 60 auto writers in 75 pickups, SUVs and crossovers and challenged them to find the best in a plethora of categories. All of the winners are listed below, and scroll down to read the full announcements from the Texas Auto Writers Association and Ford.

2015 will be the biggest year ever for cars at CES

Fri, Jan 2 2015

Like the SEMA Show, major automakers are paying increasing attention to the CES, with 2015 expected to be one of the most auto focused yet. Ford, Volkswagen, Toyota, General Motors, Hyundai, Mazda, Audi, BMW and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles will all be in attendance when CES 2015 kicks off next week, taking up a record-breaking 165,000 square feet of space at the Las Vegas Convention Center. "We've come a long way from a single car on a carpet," Ford's Alan Hall told Bloomberg. Unlike SEMA, or a more traditional auto show, like the upcoming festivities in Detroit, CES doesn't necessarily focus on entire cars or the way they perform, but on the way our technology will interact with vehicles, and in how those vehicles will deliver information to drivers. "CES has become a major launch point for a lot of the big automakers," IHS tech analyst Mark Boyadjis told Bloomberg. "CES is a way for them to get on a global stage for technology." As for what kind of wares automakers will trot out in Las Vegas, we already know that BMW will show off an autonomous i3 electric car that can navigate its way through a multistory car park and can be hailed via a smartwatch app. According to Bloomberg, Hyundai will show off its own smartwatch app for the Genesis sedan, while Audi and Mercedes-Benz will show off autonomous vehicles next week. Automakers won't be the only companies looking to capitalize on CES. Tech firms, like chipmaker Nvidia, are becoming increasingly involved in the automotive game and will be in town showing their wares off to OEMs. "Two years ago, our booth would have been filled with PCs and people playing video games," Danny Shapiro, Nvidia's senior director for automotive business, told Bloomberg. "This year we made a strategic decision to shift the focus of the booth on automotive and de-prioritize some of the other things." Needless to say, you can expect to see a lot of news out of Las Vegas come next week. Stay tuned.

Ford Mustang GT Bi-Fuel CNG

Tue, 23 Jul 2013

Highly intrigued, we recently visited a Southern California Gas Company office to check out several hybrid vehicles promising something new. Unlike more commonplace gasoline-electric hybrids, we were there to evaluate innovative gasoline-compressed natural gas (CNG) hybrids - yes, they run on unleaded gasoline and compressed natural gas. According to the experts on hand, this arrangement delivers extended range and reduced emissions while chipping in with lower operating costs than pure-gasoline vehicles. There are advantages over its gasoline-electric counterparts, as well.
The program is part of a three-way collaboration between The Carlab, a Southern California-based automotive consulting firm, Landi Renzo USA, a company specializing in alternative fuel solutions, and America's Natural Gas Alliance, a group that promotes CNG. Long story short, the team has engineered a way to allow a modified internal combustion vehicle to seamlessly switch between two fuels (gasoline and CNG) with no driver intervention. In theory, and if it works as well as promised, it's a win-win for the vehicle owner and the environment.
Parked at the Gas Company office were six different gasoline-CNG hybrid vehicles. To demonstrate the technology's versatility (just about any gasoline vehicle may be modified) Carlab brought a varied assortment of bodystyles, each from a different automaker. After taking a quick glance at the half-dozen in the parking lot, we made a beeline for the performance-oriented Ford Mustang GT - a 2012 model - with the six-speed manual gearbox.
