So finally warmed up and made a little progress. Have the boxing plates welded in, finalized the motor mounts and the two tubular cross-members I made. Put the clutch and pressure plate in along with the proper Ford racing bellhousing bolts. I used a gear drive starter off an expedition and had to clearance the stock crown vic motor mount a little for it to fit in.

Ran all the fuel lines with returns used Nylon lines with push connectors works really nice. Getting closer to start up.

Have most of the exhaust done, with 3" pipes didn't have room to go over the diff, so will be out in front of rear tires. Is all stainless including the welds. Magnaflow stainless mufflers, Stock 2013 mustang h pipe and stainless cat deletes. I just have to figure if I'm going to come out the bed side or try and hide it in front of rear wheel.

Ran all the brake lines and finished up the hydrobooster lines. The new mastercool tool worked flawlessly. Blue wire is just a temp for oil pressure gauge.
