alright well here's where i'm at now: basically have stripped the engine to the block/head/oil pan. it's going really well (aside from rusted bolts and lines[:@]). i haven't really had time to post because i've been spending all my time working for the autoparts store (awesome discounts too) and all the spare time i'vehad has gone into ripping down the engine. here's a ton of pics (cuz i know how much you guys love pics[8D]):

Very good start! That little black box is the IRCM (Integrated Relay Control Module) from the TC. It houses the fuel pump relay, hi & low fan relays and A/C relay. You don't need it. Sell it on Ebay. Your Mustang already has those relays and you're gonna be tapping into your Mustang wiring harness.

Check the E6 real closely in the area where Iinserted thearrow. E6's tend to crack right there from the weight of the turbo.



Don't forget to replace the freeze plugs! Looks like you've got everything you need. Good score!!
