    Project: Death on Wheels - Operation: D-Grease *56K beware*

    After losing my 90 GT to a light pole that commited suicide by jumping in front of me (that's my story and I'm sticking to it), it took a while before I was able to find another unmolested Stang that I could work on and bulid. After some searching, traveling, and a few welched deals, I finally found one that has everything that I'm looking. A 93 5.0 lx CODENAME: Death on Wheels.

    Of course, before I can get started on any building, I gotta clean. So I grabbed some tools

    It's not as bad as it seems. All it's missing is the main harness and a heater core, both of which are on the way. Some new motor mounts, new vacuum hoses and a few screw kits and the the heart of the beast will be ready get dropped. I'll hold off on the specs for now. I'm also removing the carbon canister. The guy who had it before me somehow managed to turn it into a molten mass. :notnice: Back to the engine bay.....

    I'll admit the first time I saw an EFI engine bay it looked a little......"tricky", but it's easier than one thinks. :D

    same engine in same engine out in a efi car is easy, the only thing i worked on before my stang was a sprint car, and for those unfamilar, they have three wires that make it run, a magneto for sprak anf no tranny(direct drive, push started steel shaft creat very little parastic loss so all of the 720 horse got to wheels), so needless to say i was a little intimidated by the efi engine bay, but after you get into it it's cake
