Hey everybody, big update. It runs! I finished the engine with all new gaskets, new intake, new water pump, cleaned injectors, and some other small things. I just want to add that I went all felpro with the gaskets, and the fitment was horrible. The intake gasket holes were about 1/2 an inch off, and one of the valve cover gaskets was almost 1 inch to long. Anyway. Put in new polyurethane motor mounts, new pilot and TOB.

I went with a ford racing intake, but i reused my crossover because it was already aluminum, and this way I didn't have to drill and tap for the other sensor. To my suprise it fired right up. I had a battery light, from one unhooked connector, but after that, no problems at all. The test drive went well, and there is a huge difference between this and the npi.

Thanks for all the replies guys
Which cobra r hood is that?

I'm not sure, the previous owner put it on the car and I can't find any brand or markings on it, sorry.

I got a couple more pictures, but I'm having trouble posting the running video. Forgot to mention that I also put in a short throw shifter, and new underdrive pulleys, because my old crank pulley chipped.
