Nice work Chris, that's a good 12 HR day!!

progress always feels gud.

 

[MustangChris]

yea man. guages are wired in... all we have to do is complete the wiring in the trunk (battery included) and we are fabbing up a skid plate to protect my LTs. then we start it up and see what happens.

the tuner said it MAY start over for us. Use E-85 to ensure that it doesnt detonate and be prepared to hold the throttle open because the injectors are so massive. so, thats exciting.

well,

One loose fuel fitting, one mis-placed fuse, and one lose ground was our only difficulties in starting it.

Its off to the dyno here shortly. Took the PCM to the shop today to get a chip installed so i can at least test drive it.

last motor over-look.
