thats a sweet looking mill, Looks like you are Remoting the Oil filter? What CR are the pistons? I dont think the stockers have valve reliefs on em. And how much did you head port set you back if you dont mind me asking, Seems like there is alot of power trapped in the stock skinny runners.

Looks like you have steel fittings in that filter bypass, am I right? Just an FYI, I originally had a remote filter mount, with an oil cooler & oil thermostat in between the two. #1, I found out that the oil cooler wasn't even necessary, and #2 I had steel fittings in the bypass plate and the filter mount. I cracked the filter mount because I tightened the fittings down a bit too much. I also found that the oil took way too long to reach operating temps even with the filter screwed right onto the block (around 15 minutes of driving even on hot days). I ended up putting a factory oil cooler back on (which was a big PITA), I wish I woulda just done that from the get-go, but hey that's how it goes sometimes, and it cut the warmup time down by at least 5 minutes.
Lookin good man. I agree about the a/c I havent used mine in 3years and I live in texas!
mine is also an 89 but I plan in keeping the lx look. you are a lot further along than me in the build but Im still driving mine. soon mine will look just as disasembled as yours. Id like to pick your brain sometime about the work you have done. If its cool could you pm me your phone number so as I can call you and steel...I mean discuss your plans

I have 3 questions...1 is that the ford light blue engine paint color.??? and 2 what manual did you use for all the wires/hoses looks like you have hid some. same thing i want to do over the winter but need to know what i can and cant do away with. i like the idea of re-locating the alt which is what i need to do. so all i would need to get is a 89 mustang a/c bracket (and make the second one)?????
lookin good man! and not to be a pooper on the a/c but it's something I always try to have "just in case".
never know when the g/f will moan and say put up the top she's hot and wants a/c...or a freak thunderstorm on a sunny day pops up in horrible traffic 100 miles from home...doh! the windshield will definitely fog up then
