Got most of the tear down completed tonight as I got the night off. Stopped at the wiring section it was getting late and I didn't want to **** off the neighbors. Pulled Battery and Alt cable. Drained the coolant and pulled the crossover and upper rad hose(drained coolant all over the garage floor). Pulled and modified the Alt, pulled and modified the heater hose bracket removing the heater hose, pulled the belt and tensioner, modified the VMV and brake booster line's. Want to also do the spark plugs before I start the actual install, that's gonna be a fun chore as Ive taken a halfhearted stab at it and they are glued in tight. Thinking of using PB Blaster rather than the motorcraft carb cleaner. 4 pics included 3 more to follow photobucket is down tonight

Well got the day off again, parts shortages are killing us, weird thing is its not just parts from Japan that were having trouble getting. So I was able to get the wiring modifications for the intake done, took a lot longer that I had hoped it would, back and knees are screaming at me for all the time I spent tonight bent over soldering and checking continuity. Pulled the remaining 5 spark plugs, passenger side they came out much easier no screeching or back and forth. I tell you I could feel the ceramic breaking down as they came out, these plugs are no longer usable. Started the CAI assembly and did a quick test fit to see what it would look like hehe, also installed the tensioner. I went out of order for the tensioner but I wanted to put something ON the car for change LOL. The wiring was long and tedious but I really felt as if I accomplished something tonight, I felt that was one of the major hurtles. Pulled SC out of the box for pulley install tomorrow
Couple questions for the evening:
When I install my HT0 plugs do I follow the Ford TSB and put anti-seize on them as specified or leave them as is and just install? and Can I use my Prothane super grease to lube the o-rings for the heater hose connection at the water pump?
Pics of the evening, got quite a few tonight will try to condense a bit but will need to split them up as well

Didn't get far today went to moms for dinner and got lazy tonight lol. Got the new 52lb injectors installed(had to modify slightly the injector clips so they fit the injector properly) on the new fuel rail, installed the pulley on the supercharger, and installed the coolant reservoir.
