haha, I'll keep the Ford work to a minimum.

Painted the power steering and hooked it up and the AC mounted too. Took the transmission braces off. Put the transmission bellhousing bolts in. I really have no clue where the 6 bolts went at. I think I will take the advice and just get 2 more and use them all. Ugh............

Tomorrow it's time for wiring harnesses and radiator and heat exchanger for the supercharger. All of the hard lines and cables underneath along with the starter and the torque converter bolts. Still have to torque the tranny bolts down too. Can't find the specs.

I can't find the factory bolt positions. I suppose I need to go to Lowes and get some more bolts and cut them. Ugh...............

Bought the TR6 plugs today. Gapped out of the box. I'll see how it goes.

Today got the headers, coilpacks, transmission brace, and some odds and ends put in. It's the odds and ends that take so much damn time especially when you lose bolts. All of the underneath stuff is ready to go so I can let the car down off the jackstands. Some of this is a bitch by yourself. The tranny brace was still broken from when I hit something on the interstate in the rain that night it exploded my diverters. Got the new one on today.

Also, moved the oil pressure sensor and added a mechanical gauge. Now changing the sensor is a 5 minute job instead of a 3 hour job. hahaha

These are Fast #85 injectors. I've heard good and bad with them. They should work just fine for now.

Still might need to get a fuel pump control module with the ZL1 pump I put in. I'm hoping the BAP will be fine but some say it won't.
