So close to being finished!


It's so close. I can't wait to fire it up and get it tuned.

That looks nice! How much clearance is there between s/c and valve cover? I've got the 2,1L s/c and i think theres less than 1/10th of an inch gap between my stock cover. And as you already started painting, you could paint the front plate that holds ac compressor black. I painted the lower intake also.

Take a video of the start up.

There is maybe 1/8 of an inch clearance between the blower and the valve cover - not much but enough.

Still missing my MSD dizzy, but I think I'm going to put the stock dizzy back in today just so I can start the car.

I'll post more pics and see if I can get a video of it starting up.

I bought one last week off the Net. It should arrive today or tomorrow. There are no real parts stores in Ottawa that stock a lot of Mustang parts, pretty much everything has to be ordered and shipped, or you have to drive for a couple of hours to get to a place.

Thanks. Next up is to get it to Steeda for my dyno tune, then post up the RWHP and Torque numbers. The bigger the better.

Haggis13,
We have the same valve covers. I just ordered the oil fill kit for it. Anything special to getting that installed? Did it come with a grommet to seal to the valve cover?

A hole saw drilled out the hole, and the rubber grommet pushed into it. The filler just pushes right into the grommet.
