i found this site randomly full of modular Ford bolts might help you out in the build.

Funny...I have stumbled on that site in the past.
Project cobra 33, cool build.
I don't think it has be updated in a while.

you can just build a bracket off the bottom of lower radiator suport and put it in the engine bay at the bottom where there is quick and easy access. the last time i installed one i put in next to the power steering tank.

There is barely any room there with the secondary blower drive pulley, and relocated thermostat housing. Maybe on the passenger's side, in front of the A/C compressor ... I'd hate for the oil lines to be so long though.

Long lines = cooler oil

Long lines = cooler oil

True, but also a possibility of a leak or other disaster waiting to happen.

Well, it's time to bring this project back from the dead

Multiple projects at once make it difficult to devote enough time to make things happen. Things are somewhat back to normal though,
and I hope to have this car move under its own power by the end of February. We'll see how that goes

*Engine is absolutely ready to be installed. All wiring is completed, should be plug & play

*Most parts of the wiring harness are hidden out of sight.

*Slave cylinder installed in the transmission bell housing.

*OEM line was adapted to -4AN so that I can use the braided line to connect to the SC master cylinder.

Not much progress, but it's progress nonetheless. :thumbsup:

I knew something very nice was hiding under that cover! This Gen1 is going to be incredible.

Couple shots from last night. Sway bar reinstalled, and PS lines in place.
Engine finally of the engine stand, and resting on the k-member, where it belongs :wink:

Fantastic job though. Can you video the fire up?!!

No, your car was the first PD blower car although it had other setups prior to.

PD? Pullied? I think I've been out of the biz too long, I'm not hip with your sayings. LoL

I like how 6 days without a post is brining it back from the dead, haha.

I've been there too, it's bordering on becoming an LOD "shrine"!! He is definitely meticulous and thorough, with a genuine care for and knowledge of these cars.

 

[beerdog]

cool!

 

[Mad1stGen]

Definitely a very fruitful day

Although this super low mileage engine came with a preinstalled pilot bearing, I decided to replace it with a new FRPP Timken part. FUN. LOL. It came out in parts. But it did come out. :thumbsup:

 

[Mad1stGen]

New part frozen overnight slid in without any issues.
Heavy flywheel to give the car as much stock like drive-ability.
After much research I decided to get an HD clutch from a company in FL. They were the only ones not trying to sell the best of the best,
but instead took an approach that the clutch is the fuse, and it's better to fry the clutch than twist the input shaft or trash the transmission.
Promotion Powertrain HD Clutch disk aligned with a guide tool.
Pressure plate also from Promotion being installed. Ready for the transmission.

 

[Mad1stGen]

Trans installed onto the block.
No problems lining up, and just simply pushing the two together.
All bolts torqued, and starter installed.
Engine/trans combo ready to go back in the car. Finally !!!

Couple mandatory artsy pictures. And it's IN :thumbsup:
