Today before it got too hot & humid I installed the new harmonic balancer instead of using the 32 year old Ford one, installed the 10.5" King Cobra clutch disc, pressure plate, & installed the bell housing.

Today I removed the engine from its stand & placed it on a dolly & installed the engine block plate & the flywheel.

Thanks Stu. Today was a beautiful day so I rolled the engine out of the garage today & did a little more work on it. I installed the intake manifold, distributor, water pump, & the dip stick tube. It looks sooooo much better Ford blue then the black the machine shop painted it.

The more I looked at the engine I could not stand it painted black, so I picked up some period correct Ford blue & painted it. I have to pull the timing cover so I could drill the hole for the dip stick & paint it

Thanks Bruce, we are getting better. The headers are Hedamn Elite ultra duty #-88408 HTC coated headers for a 302. My builder was supposed to get a dyno run done before I picked it up I will have to check with him if they did. My builder said it would probably have around 300 HP.

I acquired my Mustang as a bare shell back in 2001. Today was a nice day so I decided to get some much needed "Mustang time". I rolled the engine out of the garage & installed the valve covers & the headers. Here is a pic of it which hopefully will be going to be installed in the next week or...

Today I made a trip to a local metal supplier & picked up a pair of 2x2x6' steel square tube so I can start to fabricate a set of home made sub frame connectors.

I was working at a Ford dealer when the Mustang II's were new & enjoyed driving them.

When it comes to the relays for the cooling fans do NOT cheap out, either use the ones I am using in the link or use the Derle controller.

Nice work. I am using the same cooling fans on my 69 Coupe from a 2000 Contour V-6 run through dual circuit breakers & fan relays. Here is a link to the relay kit I am using...

Nice work so far, wish I had a garage like that.

Very cool.

Bruce, unfortunately my wife has had some issues that have been consuming our time so the Mustang is on hold for a little while.

blown93gt it sounds like it will be a nice ride when you are done.

Ooops.

Welcome to NYM. My wife & I used to live in Gates.

Thanks SpeedDEVIL5.0. I got some good news today I got a call from my engine re builder that the engine is finished. He has an appointment Wednesday next week to run it on the dyno to check the oil pressure, check for leaks, & to get the HP output. I could possibly have it back to me on Friday...
