Getting close now didn't get as far as I wanted but it's pretty close to being done only left I can do right now to the motor is the intercooler pump. Dropping the coolant crossover off tomorrow to get another sensor bung welded on it and waiting for the oil cooler to show up in the mail. Thinking maybe next week I'm gonna start on the wiring nightmare I don't wanna do lol

Just about done finally got my oil cooler in the mail got that installed along with the intercooler pump and lines also did all the vac lines for the motor. All that's left is I need to get my coolant crossover back and installed, order a barbed fitting to finish up the power steering and then wiring.

Fantastic work. It sounded pretty healthy. I’m looking forward to see what kind of numbers it makes.

Car looks great. I must have missed it, but what is the badge on the driver's side fender?
It was an American flag with the blue stripe I just took those off and did the one thing I thought I'd never do a put cobra badges on it

Got the car buttoned up yesterday cleaned up and started data logging for the tune. Put some cobra badges on it (Thought I'd never do that) but I figured everything on it was cobra so why not lol decided to do the silver radio bezel and shifter bezel even though lmr paint doesn't match worth a crap is way darker. Hopefully finish up the tune this week and start driving it again
