The throttle body mod is complete. It is a very easy modification. I will be modifying Mike's today when he comes over. It took maybe 20 mins to complete.

I can't wait to get the rest of what I need lol. The more stuff I get the more I want to complete the swap.

Sure can! I thought about doing it this summer. Going out there very weekend and scoping out the new stuff and pulling anything thats worth it.

Unfortunately I did have to use the new GT40's in a deal today. The guy I am getting my short block from needed a set of GT40's to have ready to go to do a swap in one of his customers rides that is comming from a couple states over. If he doesn't have the heads then I can't get my motor so I went ahead and helped him out. Good thing is he is going to pay me what I paid for the heads and give me the short block anyway so if the other 2 heads are still sitting in the yard I will probably go ahead and pick them up as well in the future. BUT I won't be able to make the trip to the junk yard again till april so they will most likely be gone by then.OO well.... The new motor and EFI swap is more important than having an extra set of heads.

The way Justin works he is gonna put all the speed shops in killen out of business. To get all these parts and mods like the intake and TB from a parts dealer would be more than I could afford at one time. Just to get the TB mod done would be more than what I paid for it. Now that I have seen how J did it, if I have to do it again I will be able to. Although the tac weld might be an issue, I don't know how to weld. Thanks again for taking care of that mod.

No problem! This is what I love to do. Just wait till everyone deploys and we are back in the rear and I am here without the family. I am going to be workin my *** off lol. I plan on going down to Jeff's house on some of the weekends and give him a hand at his shop and make a little extra cash on the side.

sry to hijack this thread but it looks like the start of your 93 was very discouraging good job on the build looks awesome. just wondering if anyone has rewired an entire mustang from headlights to tail lights i want to use one of ron francis's kits but dont know if the factory plugs will work with the aftermarket harness. feedback would be greatly appreciated!!!!

Painless makes kits specific to the mustang I think. Why do you want another harness?
