Down the stretch guys does anyone have a coolant crossover with the two sensors on one side if possible. I always thought it had one on each side but apparently my ex father in law says other wise

You’re gonna love 4.30’s backed up to that DOHC!

When I owned my prior 96 SVT Cobra, I was in a group of Corral Members back in the day to be only of a few and the brave to install 4.30’s.... everyone was saying wrong gear blah blah blah... but once a few of us did it, everyone and their grandmother was popping 4.30’s into N/A DOHC’s as a first mod...

Those 4.30’s woke up the car big time - AND my actual MPGs approved around town because the car was not “lugging” in lower gears with the craptastic 3.08’s... (why Ford ever thought it was a great idea to put 3.08’s into a platform with the T45 gearing and ability to rev our to 7-7.5k RPM’s is beyond me).

You will definitely notice drivability improvements and will love pulling away using gears 1-4...

Post back once you get them installed.

3.27s, not 3.08s.

I dont want to be a downer but your subframe connectors are not installed correctly... at the rear in your photo they should not extend past the subframe. Maybe im missing something because i cant figure out why he cut that opening in connector for that bolt... what is that bolt for? And why do they extend so far back?
I recently installed MM full connectors on my car and followed instructions to the T. And that just doesn’t look rite. Like i said maybe there is a good reason and Im curious?

The new radiator/hoses has been installed along with subframes. And new hubs and tie rods.
Even had my windows tinted just missing the ac. Will align the car this week. I love my ex father in law he was always like my second father. View attachment 1633460View attachment 1633461

So a couple weeks ago I posted about loosing my motivation for this project since it’s in another state. But thanks to you all I got the motivation back.
Got a couple parts for it:
-timing chains,guides etc
-stifflers jacking rails
-new nitto tires

Just need long tubes, a 250lhp fuel pump, carbon clutches (since I have 4.30s waiting for install) and head gasket kit

Then my father in-law can install everything.

Hey Bruce, there is a guy near Albuquerque with a set of BBK headers for sale. I bought my Mac headers from him a couple of years ago. I'm not sure if he still has them or will ship but it's worth a look.

Here is a link to his ad.
Car is looking good!

Good to hear that you've got your motivation back, Bruce. And also good that you have a great father-in-law for the installs. The project moves forward!!
