Or you can go full @95riosnake and use oval piping and cut/weld a million and a half pie wedges. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do recall reviewing both installs a few years back when I was going this route. @blwnbyu has a nice set up in the white car too.. My concern with 'massaging' the sub frame connectors would be potentially weakening them. That being said, I can ask the pipe fitters to cut me a few sections for a notch.... Hmm..

Or go with through the floor sub frames. Then the lower sub's can be massaged and messed with as they serve really only for the attachment of a torque arm cross member (If your going that route). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White95 Posted January 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 This past weekend, we pushed the unicorn under the carport for final assembly. I'm hoping to have the engine/trans back in the car in February but first, a few loose ends to tie up. Swapped the S-351 wing out for the S-281 spoiler and decided I don't like either of them anymore. Needs more carbon fiber T1, right @ThomasW? Right @Frank.JD.Perez Next, I removed the airbag sensors, the hood latch mechanism/cable, put the battery tray back in, installed the Champion, 3 core radiator and installed the new AC condenser: Installed the proper ABS pump and started plumbing the lines: Swapped the proportioning valve out for the proper unit: I have to re-route the lines to the hydro-booster, connect the ABS pump to the rear brakes, install the braided lines to the front calipers, install the rear pads, connect the e-brake cable and the brake system will be "finalized". That is where I stopped because I took some time to start cleaning my shop up and then began planning my fuel system. Next weekend, I plan to have these cut and re-welded to line up with the 99-04 rail mount. I'm also going to use this set of Coyote EV14 [34# hr] injectors instead of the stock, EV1 24's. Also, I found a grille pony and painted it white! Lastly, I came across a vent pod I had bought and installed it to see how I liked it: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White95 Posted February 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2018 Dropped the tank to inspect and clean, if necessary.. Swapped the Walbro 190 lph pump out for an Aeromotive 340 lph.. After that, I started to straighten up my work shop. It is by no means clean but it’s an improvement from before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White95 Posted February 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2018 Mocked up my fuel rails and took it to a friend to fabricate new brackets. Also, I cleaned and painted my throttle body + IAC to match the lower. I’ll take pictures tomorrow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White95 Posted February 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 This weekend we were supposed to install the 4V but a 0200 call from work screwed that up. So, that has been pushed back again. However, I was able to get some other stuff done. Traded a S281 spoiler for a Cobra gauge cluster, a good headlight panel, a pair of OEM Cobra headlights (that need restoration) and some other miscellaneous items. 1) Installed my CGE rear seat delete 2) Installed the frame side of the MM oil filter relocation setup. This normally mounts behind the fog light but I have a bash bar. So, I had to get a little creative and I do still have some minor fab work to complete. 3) Installed the caliper hoses, connected the remaining brake lines and did some janky “good enough” bending to the lines that go to the hydro booster from the proportioning valve. 4) Cleaned up my exhaust studs: 5) My buddy Benjy welded up the EGR connection on my headers. After that, I made some simple brackets to adapt the 96-98 fuel rail system to the Mach 1 Intake and back he welded the new brackets on. Fuel rails 6) Installed my FR500 steering wheel. Really need to clean up then dye the airbag and the center console. 7) The Cobra cluster I plan to use but that depends on how it looks with LED bulbs at night. The stock, GT gauges with white LEDs has a really nice blue glow. 8) The car looking angry because the engine didn’t get installed. 9) The oem Cobra headlights that need to be restored. It almost looks like a Mustang again lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White95 Posted February 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 William [ @LWARRIOR1016 ] and I fought the good fight to install the engine/T45 from the top. The hard part is finally over and it's all down hill from here. Look at this mess!!! Engine installation by oldawgnewtrikz, on Flickr Moved the IAC from the B head location, front left, to the C head location, rear right. Cleaned up the wiring some by removing the EGR and EGR solenoid circuitry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White95 Posted March 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 For some reason, I thought I could install the headers from the bottom since I have a tubular K-member. Well, I couldn't be more wrong. Yeah, the passenger side header hit the starter mount but almost makes it. Had it on the studs but couldn't get the rearmost portion to seat. Mother @&$#er but at least the driver's side went in like it was meant to be. Everything was going well until I realized I needed TINY HANDS to reach two of the studs. . So, that leaves me with this scene: Decided to move onto finishing the oil filter relocation kit but ran into ANOTHER snag. It seems that switching from the 96-98 oil cooler to the Mach 1 type [that deleted the cooler] it puts the fittings directly into the power steering pump. So, no filter relocation for now. I did try rotating the adapter but then the PS lines get in the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

streetpilot Posted March 16, 2018 Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 A little late now, but when I installed those I used a Harbor Freight engine support bar between the fenders to support the engine from above and took the K-member out completely. I wouldn't do it any other way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
