Looks good man, what hood you running. If its stock your going to need a 2.8 or smaller I upper pulley. The motor is going to look good in your car. I can't wait until mine is done being tuned and done.
Oh yea that's good to know the pulley that's on there now is a 2.96. Do you think the saleen S351 hood will work? Because I know someone who has one for cheap. Also what's the stock size blower pulley? The thing I'm worried about mostly is the heat exchanger mounting and plumbing. If anyone could throw in there 2 cents about how to mount it that would be great.
Fuse harness is ran and plugged in
Saleen heat extractor hood should clear, it has a rise on it to clear the 1"taller deck height of a 351. If it doesn't clear, there's always the option of getting 1/2" k-member spacers

Coming together one step at a time. Looks good
Damn man she is coming along quickly! So much win right here in this thread

I think you need some fuel and I also think your engine could be missing. Fix those two things and the lights should go off. ;-)
I did this swap in 2005 used the stock hood, my car is now running 9's with a KB 2.8 LC, 6 speed and a drag radial. Pm me with any questions.
I sure will, I'm actually worried my hood won't fit I don't want to cut it all up.
nice progress keep it up.
Looks like a good start.

Installed the CC plates and messed around with some more wiring. Still waiting for some parts should be getting the hydro boost master cylinder and pedal assembly here soon. Then I could put the motor in.

Any other surprises along the way?
Hopefully throw the motor in tomorrow only thing I need to do is drill the holes for the cross member. Master cylinder ain't coming till Thursday so EFFF that I can't wait that long. If I need to I will just unbolt the K member and lower the motor. Here's a good write up that I been following if anyone else is interested. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1bmSV2EZLavcGfLIvXO6YNjfoG-vHhhfANqyQig8D4Y0/mobilebasic
I just received my bbk o/r H pipe.

I love seeing builds like this. I'm not to far from you I may need your help if the wife ever signs off on spending that much.
Good luck and enjoy.

Only cut we made was for the air idle bypass when I had the eaton/spray combo. Since I've used a custom made 3/4 inch K-member spacer kit to fit the 2.3 Whipple and now the 2.8 KB. I'm limited to max diameter of 3 inch on my upper pulley. I alternate my Metco lower to change boost, I really made as much as I could and left the lower alone! LOL!
Good luck and keep the progress going!

How did you mount your heat exchanger in the front bumper?
The trunk is reassembled
The rear seats are back in too
I'm starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
