Time for a New Years update. Needless to say, 21' was a trying year for me (and many). Me and the wife are divorcing after 16yrs. Been trying to keep my head straight, spending time with the kids and working on a new house. Mustang time has been very short. However,I did manage to get the car running a few days ago. I'll try to attach a video, but the "new" PS pump is super loud. Besides that,pretty much fired right up and has good oil pressure. Need to get the timing set for the Megasquirt but it idles well and no scary noises. I really need to get the car to my garage, then I could spend a little time on it here and there. Edit:says files too large. Crappy video anyway due to PS noisy as hell.

Finally home. Little packed in but will have that taken care of this week. Gonna be nice here this week (50+*) so she's gonna get a well deserved bath.
All cleaned up,59* here today. Need to move the intercooler a bit to straighten out some piping. Then get the nose back on.

No matter,but the factory location on mine was the upper bell housing bolt
So,got off work early and tackled a small project. I installed short travel lifters when I rebuilt the engine,and my ocd made me re-think my adjustment procedure. They only need zero to 1/8 preload. Git that knocked out in about an hour,I do believe I had them too tight.
Finished stripping this a few minutes ago, what a PITA. Fuel injection harness. The tape was so hard you could crack it apart by bending it. Several of my fuel injector plugs had broken connectors,and I have new pigtails to solder on. I'll re-wrap whats necessary and cover everything with the DEI loom.
Pretty much done,gotta wrap all the ends with the flex tape and button everything back up. Love this DEI loom,really cleans things up.

That DEI wire loom stuff is my new favorite thing. That stuff instantly makes under the hood look so much better.
It does,and tucking the harness under the firewall pinchweld looks SO much better. Makes you wonder why they didn't do this from factory.
After some deliberation,going full fuel system upgrade E85. 525hellcat pump,upr rails,-8an feed -6an return,Aeromotive regulator and filter and ID 1000cc injectors and rewire kit. Should be good to go for my goals.
