Update:
Car has been sitting essentially since May. Except for pulling a few parts to help locals diagnose issues on their cars it hasn't been touched. Still awaiting to pull the trigger on .020" overbore pistons through MAP, hope my quote from a few months ago is still good.
Once pistons are ordered machine work on the block can begin with assembly. Plan hasn't changed much, Forged shortblock good for 700awhp backing up a set of newish 13t's (WRX Turbo's). The record for these turbos on E-85 is 501awhp on a mustang dyno with piggybacks, I'd like to break that, but the car will make what it makes. I figure around 400 on pump gas is attainable with the setup and 450+ on E-85 should make a stout street car.
Bought a boat this summer and the wife a new car last week has put this car on the backburner. Plus with us house shopping it is even lower priority, but I do fully intend on having it on the street next spring. I'd like to rebuild the transmission, add a brace, and swap in shorter gears ala what Ryan did with his Green car, but time will tell.
