It is getting close! Went over to a buddies shop and he asked what I needed. I was in a sea of mustang/LS stuff and still could only come up with a couple things. I'll update soon. Will be driving in a month. Need to find a tuner soon also.

It's been hard to get out in the garage lately for me. I finished up the hot and cold side completely. Then I pulled the motor to weld a turbo drain bung on the pan/run feed, drain lines. Also got my serpentine setup done. Then decided to go through the brakes. Going manual M/S, line lock, and prop valve. Still contemplating giving the engine bay a quick shot of black while its so bare.

Did you get this cluster working on your setup? If so, how did you wire it?

I got a good deal on some autometers instead. Going to CNC a cluster for them. I figured there wouldn't be enough mph or rpm

Wiring harness and driveshaft made.
A buddy went through my harness for a case of beer.
A local driveshaft place shortened and balanced one I bought used. Have under $300 into it.

How much length did you have to remove from your driveshaft? Or, did you? Are you thinking about an anti roll bar set up for the rear?

I removed around 10 inches or so, and had it balanced. That is one thing I wish I would have done while I was back there, might get it running without for now though.
