Cluster looks sweet with that gauge. You think about putting the RPM gauge on the right side like on the GT500? Easier sight line when racing at the track too...

AsI sat in the car I relized the steering wheel blocks my veiw on the tach... so I will be going on the other side. Just wanted to see how they fit in. JPC did this awhile back on that silver turbo car.

Do the tachs fit really well in the holes for the speedo and tach?

looking great matt.im amazed you havent done something to that center console where the cup holders are.i had to remove it once the hole thing including the bottom plastic and it has some weight to it.

I bet you could always use the intercooler connector to run an electric water pump Matt. I'm not sure if it would handle the amperage of one all on it's own but you could at least use it as the key power on source to activate the relay. Just one less thing to have to rig up.

Do you have a date in mind of when you might fire her up for the first time? It looks like once you get the misc. fuel components hooked up you could fire up with open headers in just a day or so.

I wish they made an electric water pump for the new 5.0.... the thermostat housing is now a bit differn't then before. Im hoping to get it running in a week or two when the rest of the stuff arrives. Open headers dam right lol

Wrong sub forum Matt Just messing with ya since you'll be rolling with a 5.0 now and not a 4.6. I know I know, but it's a 2005 right? lol

 

[RRRoamer]

Damn impressive Matt! Good luck getting it all up and running. I was a bit surprised when I first read you comment on cruising around in the summer with the heat cranked! And then I looked at where you are from and it made a bit more sense to this Southern boy!
