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. :happy107:

What's the Aluminators block rated at?

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"..

LOL, funny. I suspect your race record is going to look very similar to your submission record against me. :lol::lol::lol:

Sweet build. And Jesus that thing is immaculate.

Of course, and it was nice too. Did he buy that car new as well?
