I like number 3 from this angle

For reference I used a color closest to the far right a few years ago when I did the valve covers and intake.. I could likely find the exact power# if you wanted but I think you may go with something a bit darker.



I really miss this simple reliable build..... It looked good, if I am not mistaken @General karthief has these now

Btw, this was my inspiration for the gray color. Not as dark though. Thr silver is my “safe” color if I decide to stay conservative. I have the samples sitting in the engine bay, waiting for me to decide

Lol yes that is, we had seen a guy use a lonestar beer can some where but he used the koozie

Nice progress since I last checked in. I’ve never seen a fox guy run the Borlas, but they sure sound good on Terminators. Anywho, getting close to having it back on the road!

Nice job on the bracket! I'm a big fan of making factory parts better.

If for any reason you want a factory bracket that pulls the cable in closer to the frame rail, check out the brackets used on the clutch cables for the modular SN95 and New Edge Mustangs. They are different from the FOX3 and '94/'95 SN95 cable brackets, probably due to the width of he modular engines. Those cables are longer and tend to run into the accessory belt area when used with Windsor engines, but you might be able to find a cheap used one on Ebay to nab the bracket. MM's cable kit comes with a modified factory modular cable (mounting braket and firewall bushing removed), and I think they show some alternate routing approaches in their instructions to resolve the length issue on pushrod 5.0 applications. Your fabricated version may still be tighter, but I just wanted to let you know as a potential alternate option.
