I understand now Nick, but you let me down because you have not finished the mower!

Bummer. That's no good. More delays on the engine stuff?

Guessing Nick is just too busy?

Just now touching back with R-F (been away since my 97 was totalled by a drunk & I got the Foxbody), and Matt told me on FB about Beard's build. Wow, dude. Just fv*king wow.

Loving the engine ****. Good job Zach + Nick, hope the wrist heals correctly without hang-ups, and y'all are doing what a lot of us wish to do one day. Thanks for the info, too.

I just read 33 pages of this, so sorry in advance if this was quickly addressed or what during the oil pan discussion: Do you have pics of the motor mounts? What's the plan for fuel delivery (stock Navi pump fuel / lines)?

May the Ford Gods shine upon you the rest of this build.
