'07 LS2 with a T56 and the GM swap harness (E67 ECM). Been running and driving now for several months and I've put about 1200 miles on it without any major problems. Best mustang bolt on ever....

Looks like you spent a few hours with the welder! Never could figure out why Ford had 8 bazillion holes in the inner fenders and firewall...

Thats a clean *** swap. Did you do the engine covers yourself? I was thinking of doing something custom as well but nothing ford related. Also I like the AN lines going to the heater core. Thats definitely a nice touch.

I'd love to see more pics of your car in general.
