Yep............I remember reading that when I first started. I mounted the ECU behind the radio and under the cowling. I cut the hole for the harness pass through just above the upper heater hose......this moved everything to the left as compared to a Fox Mustang where the harness comes through on the extreme passenger side.

The biggest thing is money..........honestly......this cost FAR more than I anticipated......without doing bodywork I have $10000 in this build.....with MY labor. That includes everything.......suspension.....Dynamat....purchas ing the engine and transmission and all the parts. Heck the kit I bought for the fuel system was nearly $600 alone!! I've kept the receipts for everything. The exhaust system was basically $1000........it's amazing how much money a project can cost.....no wonder so many of them go unfinished!! The two most used tools were the my angle grinder with a wire wheel and my 1/2" chuck drill. I have never drilled more holes in my life than I did with this build.......and I've gone through several dozen wire wheels.......stripping parts seemed to be never ending.........including stripping the floor!!

Here is a link to some of the pictures.................feel free to ask questions about any of them! I have MUCH more on the home computer that I've never uploaded.

And these pics are after I installed the new leaf springs......which is where I started on the project. This basically what I started with.

Did you leave all the smog equipment on? And what is that thing under the alternator?

No smog equipment. Removed the EGR also.

You'll have to be a little clearer about what you're seeing under the alternator, sorry. The dipstick is behind the alternator.......I can see the timing pointer down below it.

It's getting dyno-tuned today at a speed shop (Mo's Speed Shop) in Dallas, GA. It will be on the road next week. Can't wait!!

This is how it looks now..........with the brace installed and most of the wiring cleaned up.
