Nick's 98gt Full Budget Built Turbo 2v

[lwarrior1016]

No the engine is still out so the feed line is currently hanging out in the engine bay. I wont be able to test it tell I get everything back on the car. And my entire steering column is still sitting on my work bench lol.

You dont need a sticking engine, point the line in a bucket lol. Now the steering column, that might pose a small issue.

Side note; when is the engine going back in?

As soon as I get a new clutch put on which I haven't ordered yet.

Welp new clutch just arrived. Time to get this motor shoved back in

 

[98snakehorse]

Got the new clutch and the engine and trans back in. Just gonna start slowly getting everything put back together. Thinking about stripping the main engine harness and cleaning it up a bit.

That’s a good idea to tilt the car forward like that. Definitely going to do that when it comes time to put my motor in. What are you thinking about doing to the main harness?

Yes the slight incline helps a bunch. Going to rip all the factory plastic covering off and put the summit braided wire wrap on. Will look alot nicer

That’s why I was asking. I’d like to do something similar but didn’t know how to get that stuff over the factory connectors?

The sheeting is split length wise so it will just slip right over

Ahhh gotcha

I dont know what I was thinking... got bored over the extended holiday break and decided to wrench on the mustang. Its almost ready to fire up now and its not even Dec yet..... I also finished mocking up my center dash layout. Gonna take the template I made over to my buddies machine to get cut out on the plasma table. Going to use some aluminum and probably end up painting it black.

I like it! lol.

You not going to run a center console in here?

Gotta have my tunes lol. Really not even sure if it's going to work as I took out the stock amp in the dash. May have to run new wires to the speakers.

Hoping to have it down somewhere in the 2800lb range.
