That's right. The 5.0 is IN the Mustang!
No, the engine isn't painted and won't be at first. As soon as I get everything running properly and it's reliable to drive, I am pulling the enigne and rebuilding it. I will also pretty it up a little with some Ford blue paint (like the timing chain cover) and some Trick Flow valve covers.
But, I've already ran into a few problems. First, I don't know how I am going to rig up an air intake system, the CAI I have now rubs the shock tower too much and you have to force it on very hard to clamp it to the throttle body. The MAF connector is also too close to the inner fender.
I also don't know where I am going to find shock tower braces to clear the Trick Flow intake (it's huge).
I did discover that the shifters location is going to be nearly perfect. I was testing it out a little and getting the feel of it. I am using the sock 1994 shifter and it's an arms reach to it, but I don't have to lean forward and it's still pretty comfy.
