looks real good George. Where can I get a set of those spiffy Ford fender covers? One thing that was handy on the Holley EFI I used was that it hooked up to the stock temp sending unit.

Sweet George! get her done and do Indy next month... haha I know it's a lot easier said than done.

Great progress George Looks great.

More progress on the CobraJet. Hooked up the laptop to the BigStuff ECU and started the engine today so I could check the cam crank advance number. My Browell bellhousing is ready to go in so hopefully I can get it in early this week and finish up a few details by next weekend.

4 inch aluminium driveshaft from Raven Engineering.

Radiator and radiator hoses installed.

View of carpet and seats from drivers side. I found a new carpet that did not have any cut outs in it. I then cut holes for the removable shifter covers.

I fabricated a throttle cable bracket since I am no longer using the drive by wire.

I fabricated a small aluminium bracket to hold the BigStuff air intake temperature sensor right above the throttle body opening.

Here is the bracket to hold the electric water pump drive motor.

From here you can see the Moroso pcv filter and the electric water pump drive motor.

Looking good George!

More progress. The Jerico and Long shifter are now in. The car was scaled. It weighs 3010 pounds with me in it (no weigh box). The pinion angle was set. The pre-load was set using the anti roll bar. Tomorrow I will check and set the front end alignment. Still need to carpet the rear seat area, but that wont stop me from testing the car. Hope to test it this coming weekend.

Looks great George. I do like the blue. I've had a question ever since I saw this was going to be a manual trans. I know you are using a 4 speed but did Ford "offer" a 5 speed version also?
