To get the new brake booster in required some drilling and the use of a BFH to massage the car into giving up the space for the lager booster. Unfortunately some of the pretty engine bay paint is not...

My next step is wiring, I will admit that I am a little intimated by this with everything that I want to install:
- Flex fuel sensor

I decided to mount the coil packs in the firewall. I made a plate that secures to the studs that hold the heater assembly. The brackets are ICT and fit the coil packs very well. I still need to make...
I then went to install my new water neck and adapter that I made and found out it interferes with the water pump pulley. Since I did not need the pulley for the power steer pump.......out came the...
I went to install the Esslinger water pump but the pulley did not line up. So after contacting them and finding out that the bully flange is only pressed on and that I could fix that on my own. This...
I have plugging away still, just slacking on updates.
Mocked up the I/C plumbing and had to shorten the boot going to the new upper plenum so it would clear the strut bar. I also installed the...

Exhaust mock up time.
Gnari manifold
Gnari waste gate down pipe,
Tail 38mm waste gate
ARP bolts
I need to smooth out the bolt holes in the manifold as they are catching the bolts and...
I will make sure to do that, thank you for the idea.
The head is installed this weekend and found true TDC so I can adjust my timing pointer.
It is nice to see the engine as a long block, unfortunately I am still waiting on 2 more panels from Scott...
interesting, I ended up deleting the entire factory style engine mount and went with a modern style poly puck mount. https://tbirdcougarparts.com/#!/ not cheap but they are adjustable and well made.
got any pictures or a diagram of the boost controller in question?
yes I am i stalling a Ron Francis harness in my car (the Pimp harness version). Not 100% plug n play but A good quality harness.
I also started to reroute the body harness to tuck it behind the fenders, looks like I will only have to extend a couple wires which was a surprise to me. Once everything is laid out and extended I...
I finally installed the Scott Rod aluminum panels this weekend (for some reason I was psyching myself out over these), they went in fairly easy with some trimming here and there. I must say using...

Today I tacked replacing the valve train (I previously changed the valve seals out to I left those alone). On a side note the Esslinger rocker removal tool did not work with roller rockers from...
With installing a new radiator I needed to come up with another way to mount my Ford Contour electric fan. I decided to make my own mount since the pre made option available is more then I wanted to...
Being in the Southwest I wanted as much cooling as possible. :cool:
I started mocking up my new radiator this weekend, it is a Mishimoto down flow (I wanted to reduce the amount of radiator hose length).
P/N Mishimoto MMRAD-MUS-79DP
Since my car has had a couple...
I started to install the Stifflers transmission cross member and Spyder kit. When looking at the cross member position per the instructions I may have to decide to keep the stock WC T-5 or upgrade to...
So this next part was more of an "oh wow, I did not even know these existed" kinda thing. I am pretty sure I saw these on a thread on this forum and said, yep I need those.
When I installed my...
I gave the primer a few days to fully harden before I laid the silver paint down.
