Looks good! A nice polished throttle body/plenum combo would really top it off. Or, of course, a 2.6KB would too!
Wow that is clean man. And Novanutcase that is kinda cool if i say so myself lol
Do you take it somewhere to have that done? It looks real good...I want mine to look that nice again. I wouldn't consider it till spring here though.
And where you'd get that CF airbox?
Very Nice! They missed one spot though(OK...two!) the threaded shock rods going through your CC plates are rusty! LOL!
A little Steel Wool oughta clean that up nicely or even tape it off and hit it with some black rustoleum?
The CF Box is trick!
I remember seeing a Plenum that had no name on it but was identical to the Trickflow one. Get one of those and anodize it whatever color you like. I saw one anodized red and it looks pretty good. I'm thinking of yanking mine off and having it anodized blue like my pullies.

Install a fuel pressure gauge where your shcraeder valve is. Looks trick and you don't have to go back and forth from the engine to the cabin to figure out how much pressure your fuel pump is pumping.

My bay!(Not as nice as yours but I'm trying!)

BTW since your engine bay is so clean you may want to look into one of these clear radiator hoses:
Might look kinda cool!

Looks awesome, I hope no water got into youre plug wells or you will be throwing a code in a day or two.... been there done that, I just keep a dirty engine bay anymore.
A nice polished throttle body/plenum combo would really top it off.
I wanted to do a throttle body/plenum, but the only nice polished one available is Accufab and I don't like how it says "Accufab" on the top of it compared to the running pony
I know it's a matter of personal preference, but I bet the vast majority of stangers, myself included, would much rather have the Accufab logo instead of the stock pony.
btw, looks good.
I have to disagree on the Accufab plenum. Sure, it pulls a few more CFM's but you're not going to feel any difference from the AF to any other plenum. The only time I would even consider paying the difference would be if I was building an all out race car and every pony counted. Otherwise it's a waste of money. JMO!

I agree that the performance difference between the Accufab plenum and most other aftermarket plenums is negligible. She is going for the nice engine bay / chrome lookand the Accufab plenum would serve that purpose nicely. Yeah they are pricey, and if the polished look is the most important aspect, then maybe the PP plenum would be good enough. But she is wanting to stick with the stock pony plenum, so for her, the top-shelf Accufab plenum seems to be the best choice.
If money were not an issue, I would get an Accufab plenum over any other.
I think the Plenum I was thinking of is a Professional Products one. It looks like it just has a sticker where Trickflow etches it's name so you can just peel off the sticker. You might want to ask someone that has one first to make sure.
The radiator hose is made by a company called Blow By Racing.
1999-2004 Mustang GT Glass Radaitor Hose
I think they are just Borosilicate tubing bent at the right angles. I guess that's why the call them "Glass" hoses. I know that they use Borosilicate glass alot in laboratories for beakers and stuff. Pyrex stuff is usually borosilicate glass. I'm going to try and find some and see if I can get someone at a local art college that has a glass blowing class to bend it for me.
Fuel Pressure Gauge choices:
Midnight Black
Traditional
Engine turned
Carbon Fiber
They're all the same gauge with different faces. Also, they're liquid filled for better anti-vibration/shock. The metal cases are stainless.
You'll need an adapter for the Schraeder valve. It needs to be 1/16" male to 1/8" female.
Just push on the bleed(Just like on the air valve on your tires) on the Schraeder valve and bleed off the pressure that is in the rail. You can also uncap your gas tank and leave it open for a few hours. That should also bleed off any fuel pressure. Put a rag under the valve in case any pressure pushes out any gas(Wouldn't want to dirty up that beautiful engine bay! LOL!). Unscrew the valve. Take your gauge and put some high temp thread sealer or teflon tape on the male end on the back of the gauge and screw it into the adapter. Make sure it's fairly tight. Not TOO tight but enough so that you have maybe a 1/2 turn before you can't turn it anymore. Put some High Temp thread sealer or teflon tape on the 1/16" male end and screw it into where you just pulled the Schraeder valve. Same deal as far as how tight but try and position the gauge so that it's right side up.
Start your engine and watch the needle jump to around 26lbs or more of fuel pressure.
Your done! LOL!
I have a Canton Power Steering tank
View attachment 275699
But I kind of wish I had gone with the Moroso one
Good thing about the Canton one is that the hose inlet/outlets are in the right postion whereas you have to fiddle a little to get the Moroso one to work.

Just curious, how much did they charge to detail the engine bay? I might look into this.
That's the first thing I thought too.
Yeah, but it would look so good in your engine bay, and would give you a little bump in performance. I know it's a matter of personal preference, but I bet the vast majority of stangers, myself included, would much rather have the Accufab logo instead of the stock pony.

Oh laaawdy that is one clean engine!
