Almost done.

I have to finish fabricating the bypass valve piping and the engine vent system.

I am ditching the factory coolant recovery tank and relocating the power train control module.

In the near future the battery is going to the trunk also.

Hopefully fire it this weekend.

Looking goood!

Do you have a hold down for the small coolant hose to keep it outta the serpentine belt?

What did you paint your P/S bracket with? Looks great.

What did you do for the oil sending unit side of things? I used a couple threads worth of high temp teflon paste - no leaks yet (knock on wood).

Awe You dont like my PS Pump.

Street car.

Yes the CCRM not the ECU. I hate it sticking out. I have no A/C so I am moving the catch can and myoil seperator to the front bumper support behind the nose.

Then the CCRM to a plate I am making where the original air filter was.

I actually have the collant hose mounted along the intake it wont move.

I use Krylon Aluminum finish paint then cleared coated it.

I used paste also, I dont like tape.



A few things I did:

I assembled the entire motor on the stang minus headers. and dropped it in. EASY.

I had to modify the fox throttle bracket to clear the valve covers, even with a spacer.

the thing is that it is the first thing that attracts the eye because it is so different from the rest of the motor.

i got a black one, and it doesn't stick out nearly as much:

Did you use clear from a rattle can or HVLP. What brand/mix?

I want my brackets to look that sexy.
