Ok. Been slowly working on it. The long tube headers were a b*tch. They are in and all bolts tight. Also, the passenger side motor mount is in and tight again. It was like a jigsaw puzzle getting everything in place where it will bolt up. Have some pics.

Ok, it has been a while. I have been dealing with a bunch of stuff, but have been trying to put some work in on it here and there when i have time. So, new exedy mach 500 clutch and lightweight flywheel are in. Aluminum driveshaft is in. BBK LT's, offroad H pipe and mac prochambers are in. All of the harness's are plugged in and ready. Fresh oil in the engine and transmission. I'm waiting on 2 fuel fittings to go from the hardlines to the pressure regulator, then its ready to fire up! Oh, also intalled the hurst short throw and a new Pioneer double din head unit that has apple car play. New black carpet will be here later this week, then it will be time to put the doors back on. Tonight I am going to extend my cruise control module bracket so the cable reaches and I can keep using the cruise. It is getting very close to driveable....

Well everyone… it starts and drives. And it sounds really good. I wish I could post a video. I am

currently putting in black carpet, relocating the battery to the trunk and wire the audio, since the carpet is out. I’m trying to have this mostly done by myrtle beach mustang week, since I live here and it’s the last one. We will see if it cooperates.
