Since this got bumped I can give a small update, not really a whole lot to take pictures of or really talk about.

This weekend I finished up some wiring, made a mount for my transmission cable, installed my shifters for the tcases, buttoned up the trans tunner, wired the transmission, finished wiring my winch, wired 12v to the starter, pcm, etc. I also measured for a driveshaft, messed with some gauges, and cleaned up a few other things.

Its getting there just a ton of little stuff that needs pieced together.

I pulled out my fuel pump and ordered a WALBRO 255 LPH FUEL PUMP Ford Mustang Cobra 4.6L 255LPH off ebay for 99 bucks, that should get me close to a fuel system. Just need lines, fittings and a filter. lmao

Lol. I hear that. I lost interest too. Still have actually, but I keep trying to plug away. From time to time I think about parting it out.

I would recommend him as well now.

I got my radiator, and it seems way too small. So I called summit and they are sending me another one and letting me return whichever one i dont want. 24x16 and a 26x19. I really hope the 26x19 fits.

I modded the fuel pump with the Walbro 255 lph pump and reinstalled it.

right now i just have the stock one in there. I dont really care about the fuel level at the moment. I have two gages that i have no clue where I am going to mount, volts and fuel level. So I left them out for now. I will just keep it close to full. haha

I am kinda to the point where I just want to drive it again. I mean I am sure that is an easy fix but its not priority.
