well there supposed to be greased. so im just worried that it will get gunk in there, and screw it up. maybe I will just tape it closed, then throw some cheap heat wrap on it.

oh yea, and the wiring, and everything to the motor is disconnected. motor mount bolts are off.

just have to pull the upper intake, disconnect the injector harness, and fuel lines, and pull this broke POS.


car should be up in running in a week and a half to two weeks max

Get er done!! God I hate that saying! Dont you hate when all that stuff you have to finish up nickel and dimes ya?? I always seem to forget about all that crap when I am trying to finish up a project!! Finally got mine going, I only had to blow a crap load on new fuel lines because when I was running EFI my lines were too small. Could not get my fuel pressure stable with the 6 return. Had to put a 10 on it and the pressure came right in !! Only thing I havent ordered is the mechanical advance kit for my MSD dizzy. I currently have the timing locked and after the car warms up it starts really hard because of the timing. It is going to be driven on the street alot so I wanna put that mechanical advance back in. Looks like you are going to be up and running just in time for spring... I think you will be happy with it, it would have driven you crazy to see it sit all summer!!

Thanks buddy! Trying to get my YouTube channel big, as I am a youtube partner and make money off the videos when people watch, "thumbs up" or click on the ads

haha, well I havn't really had and suprises. and with all the recent work on this car, I remembered all the parts I needed. so I have everything I need.

only thing I see me doing extra, is I want to add a extra ground from the motor to the subframe connectors. My current ground is from the battery to the motor mount, as I moved that ground from the OEM location, the timing cover, for a better ground.


Thinking about a bigger alternator, and running 2 bottle heaters, to get the bottle up to pressure faster, and a plate to use bigger shots with no worry.

then I would like to get a stand-a-lone fuel system, and run E85 with the nitrous kit

but im not going to let that stuff slow me down. This winter has been SOOO mild I could have driven the mustang most of the time. So I'm really wanting it back on the road ASAP.

made good power with this h/c/i combo on the hurt bottom end, so im hoping it picks up a little more power now that its a fresh bottom end
