Nice job on the build. That's a lot of work.

Mad fucking skills, son.

Lookin good! Looks like you could also use a Roush hood scoop to cover that clearance hole

if i didnt just get the c&l intake, i would consider doing a 5.4 swap........but i need a transmission first i think!

Yep, ordered a pre-painted one on Tuesday.

Sweet man. So close to getting it running!!

Spending all of today and tomorrow trying to get the wiring figured out.

I bought an "uncut wiring harness" but upon closer inspection it appears as though the crank position and cam position connectors were cut from the passenger side so i'm going to have to do some wire hunting, splicing, and soldering, and i'm sure im going to find more.

Hopefully I can knock this all out in two days...

 

[one eyed willy]

good luck!!

 

[Kuro!]

Oh man this wiring is killing me...

 

[Kuro!]

So this motherfucker I bought the harness from sold me an "uncut" harness and ended up just slicing shit off and sticking it into the wire loom...

So after 3-4 hours with a wiring schematic and a razor blade I managed to track down every thing and get it resoldered and repined.

Only thing I still need to mess with is the CKP and im a little worried about the shielding around the stocker that was cut...

damn man i go away for a week for some R&R and you go to town. what engine mounts did you wind up using... just wondering cause your engine is a little higher than mine.
it looks awesome and really familiar

Stick with it man, almost done!

 

[Kuro!]

Haha yea. I'm using prothane bullet mounts with GT500 engine support brackets.

is it just me, or maybe the angle of the pic ? But the hood cuts look straight, and the manifold looks crooked in it ? Is it still not bolted in ? Maybe it's an optical illusion ?

Alright, so I got the radiator, fan and Reservoir mounted today after work, along with plugging in part of the harness. I also fixed the hood issue. Got a pre-painted Roush hood scoop on the way so everything should be looking good once the scoop goes on. I'm mediocre at cutting a straight line so I had one of our fabricators cut the hood. She seems to be getting closer...

 

[redstangs9308gt]

hmmm I noticed that also

 

[19COBRA93]

I think it's fair to say at this point that the manifold just isn't straight. Did a hell of a job on the rest of it though.

who cares if it is a little off, he did it mostly on his own.

congrats man that thing is going to be quick.
