You should sleep on the slanted bed with the sink at the end of it.

Well after many beers last night kind of ended at the shorter end of the progress we wanted to make. We got the intake, and 75% of the stuff off the top of the engine, and some of the stuff underneath.... we should be pulling the motor withing a couple hours. YAY!!!

Well everything's done. Two major setbacks. One - the top starter bolt would NOT come out, so we pried and pried and broke the housing off the starter to get it out. Ended up replacing it, but it was 11 years old. Second - while torquing down the thermostat housing bolts, one broke the housing. That one issue caused a 4 hour delay while we tried to JB Weld it, then ended up replacing the housing with one from an 86 Chevy truck that we slightly "modified" to work. It started right up the second time (After I realized I forgot to plug in the wiring harness to the EEC) and idled and ran perfectly. We then loaded a tune from his Xcal2 and changed the MAF and airbox to the 02 Mustang GT style and had some slight idle issues but I'm confident he will work those out with Lonnie. Brian - I never want to see you again in my garage!!!

Throughout the whole swap there were alot of small problems that took alot of extra time. Bolts not coming out, stuff not lining up, tools walking away, and stuff like that really killed us on time. Over all, things went well. Special thanks to Embalmer (Jim), Firescout211 (my brother Chris), and Midwest Bird (Eric). These guys made it alot easier for things to happen. Its running well, but I think maybe now I need to replace the Trans crossmember.... anyone have one with some fresh bushings? Check your pm's keith!

12" OEM torque converter & flexplate
Cam covers, chains, sprockets
OEM NPI intake manifold complete w/plastic crossover
Full dual exhaust with cats removed & Flowmaster mufflers
Catalytic converters
Xenon body kit
At least 500 spare bolts, nuts, etc.
Make me an offer! All must go!:evil3: :gapteeth: :beek:

Yeh Jim has your ratchet by the way.... but he still has my credit card and the clip for my hood strut. Hey Jim did you ever find that??? Its driving me freakin crazy when I put my hood up and it falls back down on me when the strut pops off.
Good times.... pics to come eventually.
