Well got tired of messing with the car trying to figure out what the p1121 code was coming from so took it up to a local mustang shop around town. They checked it out ended up having a crossed wire in the tps (which I checked like 3 times guess I was wrong still) anyway got the car back still surging some but it's way better. Found out last night the mach one throttle body is different from the 97 tb and will make it not run correctly. Hoping that may fix the last of my surging issues fingers crossed.

Here's a rolling shot my buddy took on the way home from the shop. Cars first long cruise with out stalling all the time.

Well did some work on the car over my weekend. Found out I have the wrong throttle body on my car didn't know there was a difference in there so plugged the hole in the b head tb made a difference on how it ran. It's closer still needs some work but it's getting there. Also installed my baer brakes

Talked to the guy about making a set with American flags on them and he said he's been wanting to make thoes but in a limited number so I'm gonna be the test set number 00 of 12 I think they will look good gonna be red white and blue too

Finally got started on the Eaton swap on my weekend last week. Got a new edge crash bar installed with the heat exchanger.

The next day got the knock sensors mounts cut off the block, lower intake installed, timing cover swapped and painted the blower and set in there. Still have to do the turkey pan delete and make the return style fuel rails work before I mount the blower fully

Well got some more done today on the swap. Got the return style rails in and held down put the plenum on to test fit it by the fuel pressure reg it's close just moved the vac port up and it fits good now. Bolted down the blower put the acc back on and started the alt but got confused so stop there for the day to do some research on how it mounts up.

Hoping to have the engine part done tomorrow so I can start on redoing the harness cause there's lots to move around, extend and remove excess plugs for stuff I deleted
