It worked... if it wasn't for the water cross over I wouldn't have bother reverse mounting the Alternator, I have the bracket for relocating it to the left side of the motor but the fit is so tight I can't get the bolts in to hold the bracket once I mount the alt to it, or if I put the bracket on first I can't reach the bolts for the alternator... dual pain int he ***.

Thank You... have another video of it idling longer, still open headers, but that will change tonight. Reconnecting exhaust and changing mufflers to straight pipe.

oK, So tune day didn't go as plan.

We ended up with a bad IAC, and a passenger side exhaust leak which is giving us issues because with the sheer mass of the 5.4 you can't get in between the motor and the fender wall (K-Rail) to tighten bolts down more, so once we established a baseline tune that kept it running and stopped it from fouling plugs, which ironically is a just an out of the box Mach 1 stock tune, we couldn't move forward because of the above mentioned issues. Even after spending 8 solid hours at the shop we couldn't tighten the bolts on the headers enough to stop the leak, so after much fussing and frustration we were happy to get the car running without stalling.

So bac to the build shop for some more tweaks and to the store to replace the defective IAC then round 2.
