Pull that motor back out and clean/paint the engine bay. You'll wish you did later. I'll be filling all the holes in mine here shortly then painting it again. No more swiss cheese.
Isn't it amazing how many little holes they punch into that sheet metal. Yeh I agree, pull that motor and clean and paint while you can. You'll be happyer when you open her up to show everyone!!

heres the headers welded and just high temp painted for now so they dont rust, i'll put em later and get these things coated.
drivers side, 3rd tube back is hitting the brake line and close to the frame, 4th back might need to be moved to fit the steering rod
pass side, fit great
more pictures later

if anyone needs pictures of anything at all let me know. I'am going to move the back one or maybe two tubes this week and i'll post pictures step by step to help anyone. Also pictures of the th400 install and crossmember moved
Yeah, let us know what you have to do. Thanks.
Good looking car and good lokoing swap!! You could have grabbed a can of semi-gloss black engine paint for a few bucks and freshened that bay up... Then you could still do your repaint later. Either way...I wouldnt mind taking this swap on some day. I have a soft spot for the old foxes.
Man...I never realized how many holes were in the engine bays!!! Are those all factory holes? The strut towers look like swiss cheese!
Good luck with the project!

The older ones have a few less holes. When ford changed anything on the mustang they just added new holes and left the old ones in place. They probably considered it weight savings for gas mileage. lol The 79-81's have a lot less to fill.
