Let me know if you got my message/phone number via email. I do still have it, let's work something out to help you! Be reminded though, this is the 05/06 style, not the '07+; I used it on my '09 engine.

Tools are on the way; let me know how it goes! (We'll continue via text.)

With the tools, you do NOT remove the rear cover plate. I do still rent them out. And you are correct, the inner seal and slinger are difficult to put in without messing them up without the tools (been there, done that, had to redo them...then I got the tools!). The set also contains removal...

Troy, I think you do not have enough posts yet to send direct messages. I have it listed in Austin craigslist, which would be another way to reach out to me. https://austin.craigslist.org/pts/d/weir-mustang-gt-coolant-crossover-hoses/7707171271.html

Torque the 2 steering rack bolts to 85 ft-lbs each. Depending on the k-member, it may use a 1/2" bolt and separate self-locking nut that you have to prevent from turning when tightening to torque.

Glad to see you're making progress! As far as the original v6, same thing happened to one I picked up in a donor (which now has a GT drivetrain): all the coolant blew out the the thermostat housing broke, overheating/seizing the engine. Regarding the cluster, you already got it in. Not that...

What is your air intake setup? Using a CAI without a tune? Other mods? Normally, your issue would be caused by the spark plugs, but they don't throw lean codes on both sides at the same time. Or the fuel filter may need changing. But as mentioned, use a scanner and monitor the front O2...

Send me a private message; we can work out details. Thanks.

If you have a bunch of yellow 'baby-shit-like' gunk in the engine and some in the intake, it is likely from inadequate PCV/crankcase ventillation, especially if engine is modified in any way and the two valve cover hoses/lines are removed or plugged. This happens in cold weather and humidity.

THANK YOU! Always wanted to know the connections for those undocumented pins/places! :)

I like to try to put a hand on them when turning the key on. Have someone turn the key on if needed. You can feel the broken gears grinding when the key is turned on :) . And yeah, they're a pita. I have another one I need to replace now. Oh, and avoid the cheapy aftermarket replacements...

I agree with Dino; pull the head before determining what needs to be replaced. If the cylinder is ok, and if you're lucky and the piston is ok, then it's just a matter of head work, or worst case, replacement of the one head. Replace the front timing components at the same time. It might be...

Pm sent; we'll see what we can work out logistically :). ...sale pending...
