Well done some more work. Notice in these pictures all the wiring that was on the right side valve cover is gone. All the wiring had to be extended. Now it is run in the valley between the heads. That should make it neater. Also turned the fuel rail around. Now the fuel lines are at the area of 2.3 was. Not in right front of engine bay. Would have had to rerun the lines. Cut down on intake. Still going to have to make some 1/2" phenoic "spelling?" spacers. Done mated trans and motor now surprizes there. Will have to redrill the flexplate to match the torque convertor. But I know that ahead. So here is some pictures.

here is part of solution. www.bobcat.ca/stuff/DOCS/A4LDDU~2.PDF Got the intake spacers made. Found some solid surface laminate. {Counter top Material} Torch won't melt it. Gas doesn't affect it. Got the wiring extended so computer should go in car. Got to work out the wiring to the ICM to run fuel pump and fans etc.

Hey MG wanna throw the link to the post in the 6 section? If it's any different than this one..
Reason I asked is because I hate the new look of the forum and it might just be me but I also can't stand searching for anything it it either haha..

I started a link in the six section. Didn't seem to gather no interest so I let it die. I guess only reason someone looks at it here is because I started out here. Right now kind of boring. All I have been doing is modify wiring.

Got some more info. When getting the trans get a flexplate for trans. You must drill trans flexplate to match SHO motor. Torque convertor has too much of dish in to fit the SHO flexplate. Right now still thinking of using A4ld computer and not hooking up the motor section. In other words two engine computers. This what engine looks like when intake is rotated. Must install in car to decide where a lot of parts go and finalize wiring.

Well tried to install back in October. Engine k-member in way. May modify or get a turbular k-member. Also exhaust was going to hit it. Well I got a set of stock 3.8 Mustang header. From 94 to 98 I think. I think I can cut flanges off and make new flanges. I think would be easier thank making my own. First two pictures of 3.8 header. Las one is the stock SHO.
