friggin finally

​Man, the weather has not been cooperating!  After about two weeks of rain, i spent a couple days mowing the jungle that was our yard.  So now im finally caught back up, and progress can resume!

First up, theres now a tee in the OEM port, so i can run both the OEM & the NVU oil pressure senders:

​New Ford Performance 47# injectors:

​...and BAM!  Injectors, fuel rail, wiring harness, and plenum installed! 

​New BBK twin 61mm throttle body:

​This thing is a beast; way bigger than the OEM throttle body.  Should flow a ton more air:

​Also picked up this cool Felpro thermostat gasket, p/n 35041T.  Supposed to solve the typical ford leaky t-stat housing issue.  Its ~1/8" thick, and has an o-ring seal on both sides.  Its a pretty nice piece, and looks like it should work well

​Progress!​ Now its starting to look like something!

​Distributor all ready to go with new o-ring, cap, rotor & TFI module:

​Engine at TDC & distributor installed.  Plus a big win-  the oil cooler is installed!

​My frame notch was a huge success; Theres lot of room for the oil cooler, and it fit up in there easily with plenty of room to spare.

​Super excited about this one, it clears like it was made that way by Ford!
From here on out, i think everything left to do is basic reassembly, so progress should speed up.  My torque converter showed up yesterday too, which was the last item i need to finish reassembly.  If all goes well, i might be able to fire the engine in about a week's time!
