So I left Wisconsin to get my Cobra. What a last few days this trip has been.

Wisconsin when I left.

Drove 590 miles from Wisconsin through Chicago down to Indy and across to Cambridge, OH.
Traded my girlfriends 00 Saturn in on a 98 Expedition.

Then I drove just over 1,000 miles with the new truck down to FL. Went through, Ohio, West Virginia, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, GA, and finally into FL.

I then did all the services on the truck. Wipers, bulbs, oil change, brakes at all four corners, air filter and even pulled the right rear axle and replaced a leaking axle seal and refilled the diff with new fluid.

I grabbed the motor and loosly put it together and ready for transport. I sealed it up to prevent it from rusting or anything getting inside it.

Few hours later and the new 5.4 was back into the car. It has to come back out later but this is just for transport and it has valve covers on it now as well.

Im probably going to pull the pistons out because the compression seems to be lower then what I wanted.

Its snowing in WI and fairly cold. I will be getting parts together for the next couple months then once it starts to warm up I will start to put it back together.
