Sweet! I like all the mods you've done. It's the kind of thing that keeps you looking to find all of them. Like the puzzle in a Sunday news paper. In fact, that would be kind of a fun thread!
I see:
Cable clutch, dual reservior master cylinder, Upgraded fuel line to a dual feed carburetor on an Eddy manifold, with an Eddy water pump (with a concours style hose and clamp kit), and a billet pulley for the alternator. FRPP Gear reduction starter cables passing by some nice RMP mounts, that are right below a nice set of sparkplug heat sheild boots, and what looks to be a set of FPA headers with the high temp "Grey Ice" coating that are bolted to a nice set of Aluminum heads.
So what did I miss or get wrong?
Very clean, and doesn't jump out in your face.
If you keep the shocks, have you thought about painting them red (i.e. like the original Koni's).
Great work!

Ha Ha. That's great. You would have to notice the rust on the distributor cap! Anyway, I think you spotted all the mods although you missed a couple that would have been hard to see. I have the brake proportioning valve mounted on a bracket using one of the master cylinder mounting bolts, a flaming river steering box, and the battery's in the trunk. The headers are JBA silver ceramic. I'll try to post a side shot later tonight.
Nice motor, cleanly done up. I think I'd add some color to the valve cover fins and lettering. As for the aluminum waterpump, I've learned to save money going with a stock aluminum unit from the local parts house. Same internals as the aftermarket pumps. They can be had in low volume(high rpm), std and high volume if you know what to look for.
What do you look for. Cast impeller or bent steel?
sorry about the hijack
Either will do, the volume is dependent on the impeller size. Small is a low vol, the biggest is a high vol. The Low vol is listed as a high performance pump (usually) the high vol pumps are listed as "police. taxi and HD cooling" (one or all of the three)
The pump on my 331 is a late 88 Crown Vic std volume aluminum pump. Autozone has it in a low-vol/HP version as well as std vol.
