I completely forgot I even started this thread, haha.

Truck runs great, we pounded on it all summer, between a few issues and breakages atleast. The converter is nowhere near enough for this combination. As soon as the boost hits the engines at 6k, doesnt matter what gear. But even with a stupid loose converter we put down 534whp and went a best of 11.42@115. Truck is a blast on the street! It gets lots of attention.

Did you use engine plates, and how difficult was the wiring?

Nope i fabricated engine mounts that adapt to factory engine mount stands on the frame. And the wiring was relatively easy, we just started with a truck harness, gutted everything we didnt need, and added a small fuse panel and a couple relay bases. Ford ignition switches a strange in the fact that key-on power is cut during cranking so the easiest solution was to wire in a push button start.
