Got some more work done today.
Since I was removing the K-Member, I decided to use the factory strut tower along with some come along straps to help hold the motor. I put them near the ends where it had more support from the towers. Worked perfect!
The crank pulley has 3 bars that I used 2 of them to hook to.
With the engine supported, I unhooked the steering and dropped the K-Member.
That left room to pull the oil pan off so I can have fittings put in properly without punching holes in it and using the tap. I am not a fan of that technique.
By removing the K-Member and motor mounts, it made it much easier to get to the headers. For the passenger side I had to CAREFULLY coerce the A/C line a little to get to the front bolt. But it went easy enough with little drama.
Here's a good shot of the front factory Wideband O2's.
That's all for now. Will keep updating as things come together.

You also have 4 lug Cobra wheels, a whale tail from 1987, porno red interior with bright white captain chairs from Gary's rape van. I'll take you liking the black wheels with a grain of salt.

LOL, funny. I suspect your race record is going to look very similar to your submission record against me. ![Lol](images/smilies/lol.gif) ![Lol](images/smilies/lol.gif)

Can't wait to see this done, Kevin is a master at this craft, it will look like Ford installed it yet all shiney.
I liked the black wheels too because of the graphics, but if it were my car I would have had paint matched white wheels... Always loved white wheels on white cars, wife had TONS of compliments on her old fox with white "Bullets"..

Good to see he's doing the oil lines the right way, the tapped pan thing is shitty, I had to do that with an old S-Trim. Does he have a timeline for when he wants to be done?
