Got it Lonnie.
Got it Lonnie.
No problem, i'll have lots of room to play with on the passenger side. I'll be using my same C&L intake instead of the procharger 90 degree bend to the throttleblades. The C&L takes a more gradual turn and already has my IAT mounted.
Spent the night finishing up the hardparts. Got the radiator totally mounted, intercooler mounted, and powersteering cooler mounted.
Managed to get it all up tight with plenty of ground clearance in the front, and not having the drivers side boost pipe too low going under centerbrace, which was originally planned. I managed to move it so the pipe goes in front of power steering line and not underneath it and crossbrace. Saved me 3 inches of ground clearance. Whoo hoo.
The lowest part of car is still the K member and that was the whole goal, to keep everything above that bottom line.

I moved intercooler brackets up even tighter on drivers side since i took this pic. http://
Got plenty of room now that radiator is dropped 2 1/2". Ill have the intake pipe and conical going over to the battery side by the vacuum pump. http://

Now onto the spaghetti. haha
Glad i took notes on the wires before it all came apart. I'll have to solder in extensions for the fuel injector lines, to leangthen them so they fit in separate harnesses and tucked below the Aeromotive fuel rails.

Doing some rework of wiring harness for the injectors
Doing some rework of wiring harness for the injectors
Each rail will have its own 4 sets wires for each injector instead of that huge bundle of mess going over the top of the upper intake. I pulled the O2 sensors out of the bundle and shortened them up a bit and put them in thier own insulated harness.
The grounds for all the injectors and other sensors has its own bundle and all the positive sides going to the ECM i mean the EEC, hah will be in their own jacket as well.
It should clean alot of mess off the top of the engine. I'm heatshrinking all connections after I add extensions of wire and they are soldered. Then ill slide them in those isulated jackets i had on there before. http://

Wanted to have the fuel injectors hard wired,
Wanted to have the fuel injectors hard wired,
But i couldnt stand to cut off the ends of the new quick disconnect adapters. They adapt our 24 lbs injectors to 48 lbs.
They look too cool and i didnt want to cut/mod them. I'll put up with the extra bulk in the harness in case i switch to different setup down the road and want to sell these. http://

I'm just waiting on my new upper intake and lower intake bolts to come to the Ford dealership on monday along with the new upper and lower gaskets to put the intake back on with the fuel rails and injectors.

After looking at this pic, i relized that in my late night push i have the intercooler mounted backwards. LOL! In my in and out fitting sessions, it must of got turned around on floor. The inlet is where the outlet should be. The inlet is smaller and expands outward. Once you get the air expanded in the intercooler, you don't want to compress it again. I'll flip it around after i get some KFC. It's dinner time!

ran into another roadblock. Stinkin return radiator hose.
ran into another roadblock. Stinkin return radiator hose.
The yellow dots are what i need to have made. The red cannot be blocked, as that is my route for the intake. I'll have to mock up a model to bring to the fabshop to have him braise me together another thinwall aluminum pipe that routes around the backside of supercharger. The kit i got was made for the Mustang small radiator and goes straight to the front. My outlet is way on other side so i have to rework something. Shouldnt be too hard once i get a model to take to the fabrication guy.
Jeeese...i need to learn to weld and weld aluminum things. I could be doing all my own custom tubing and brackets myself, and paying off my own equipment with the money im paying them. I've been wanting to make a sullivan type intake for along time now.http://
I have plenty of room around the backside as in pics.

Autozone hose no. 101 is what you need to plumb that coolant tube to radiator.
Those green tops should plug right into mark viii harness, unless you downgraded it to the newer style connectors when you did the swap. Stick with the old OEM Mark 8 style plug, that's how all big injectors are set up. Also, please tell me you're using COP this time around

Thanks Jeremi !
Thanks Jeremi !
Nope, there still the stock Mark VIII connectors that came on the original engine.
WOW! You just saved me hours browsing everything from import hoses to domestics to find one that would work. Thanks.
Yes im still hunting for the COP takeoff setup with almost no miles cheap, but i guess ill be just buying new ones and wiring them in. Then i get to loose the coil pack setup and brackets.
I have the coilpacks mounted now because i need to have the car running to get it on my trailer to drop off to Lonnie's shop. I havent bought a 12,000lbs winch for it yet. But its in the works so i can load non running cars and things i can drag up on the flatbed for customers.
Thanks Jeremi !

Derek, yes as far as i know, when i bought the short block it was a FORD reman unit swap for a spun bearing in original owners Cobra with 6,000 miles on it. All the other things like the intake and accesories i aquired from the Stang websites and auction sites along with bending over at the dealer for new parts and sensors. It's clean inside on all cylinders looking down into the valves, with no sludge or carbon buildup, also the plugs were nice and tan with no deposits or hotspots so hats off to Lonnie for the tune. She was running very good when it went into the garage for the supercharger swap. (Been sitting there WAYYYYY to long.) Almost the whole racing season this year.
All i can do now is cross my fingers and hope she will hold a lil boost untill i can upgrade the bottom end with all the forged goodies and crank the boost. lol

Figured id start the bottom nose now
Figured id start the bottom nose now
While i wait on some aeromotive fittings i had to change up for the fuel line install. First pic it obviously does not fit. Second pic is rough cut. Ill have to get some foam core board and start making a fiberglass mold for the bottom section and ram air scoop.
I'm trying to make it as flush as possible so you cant tell by walking by the car that a intercooler is just below the edge. Well see how it turns out in a few more weeks. From the side you wont know its there, untill you come around to the front and look up from the bottom. Well, that's the plan at least for now....lol :wink:
