Well I'm going to stop forecasting when I'm going to do things because that never seems to work out quite like I imagine. I had a friend going out of town for awhile so ended up hanging out with him over working on the Mustang so I haven't really got much done.
I met up with the previous owner today and we talked about all the stuff he had done to the car and what I was doing and what my plans were on getting it right and I'm pretty sure I saw him wiping some tears away when I left. Kinda made me happy to know that he is a true Mustang guy and that the car was taken care of, even if he couldn't get it going.
I've held off on doing a compression test because I am becoming more and more sure than my oil burning issue is ring-related. But so long as nothing happens tomorrow, I'm going to try once again to get the cars swapped around and pull the 94 in to start diagnosing. Gaskets are ordered and in the car, a EGR block-off plate (351W fuel pump block off if you're wondering) is on the way, and I am supposed to be picking up my GT40 next week hopefully.
Slowly but surely.
