yeah dude, scott sullivan really helped me out. i pretty much told him gimme everything i need to get the engine going and mail me the bill so he did, complete intake system with fuel lines/rails. he's a great guy, very nice. yeah, it was a pain in the *** for about a week but other than a temperature sensor for my radiator, everything is great my mom hates the volume haha, i'm 18 btw, still with the parents, dad loves it, he's the man. i'll throw videos up ASAP but i suck with the video camera, i have the startup with open headers though, and whoever needs help with it, just PM me.

Congrats. This would be the only Modular Motor I would use trying to stay N/A with, but I plan on swapping in a pushrod in the near future. A guy over on SVTP has a 5.4 4v Fox running 9's on only 18ish psi. He should be in the mid 8's with race gas and upping the boost to the mid 20's. Either way congrats and I bet its gonna be fun.

yeah, i wanted more power but wanted to stay modular. pushrods are great.....for the track (in my opinion) plus my dads restoring a 65 coupe, looks great so far and he's dropping in either a built 347 or 408 (whichever will fit the best under the hood) he wants to keep it looking stock and sleep around town but he's putting in 3.73 gears (like my 98) and he's doing a fantastic job, he's a perfectionist, practically OCD. i just have one bug left to work out on the 5.4 and its the temperature gauge and getting the fans to work, its all the same stuff though, once the gauge reads, the fans will turn on, i'm fixing it tomorrow though, its a matter of installing another sensor to the cross over tube for the water. no biggie problem solving at its best, thats what this project really was.
