Any updates on this?

Would your exhaust/header guy be willing to make a second set of those headers? If so PM me a price, or his info.

Thanks,

Josh

Not much in the way of updates. Since I got it running I've taken it on a few cruises and car shows. We cruised to MustangFest a few months ago to make it's debut....I didn't win any awards (surprise!). I put some Raptor badges on the side too. I'll have to upload some engine pics to my photobucket this weekend...




Here's a vid I took of doing donuts on the beach:

Here's a few pics I took along the way:
Below is the pic of clutch hose for the stock Mustang Master cylinder to the GM slave.

The motor mounts I built myself. Not pretty, but very stout!

Below are pics of the stock GTO shifter, and how it lines up perfectly with the stock Mustang shifter hole:


Since the engine is actually a stock L92, with LS3 intake...I'm using the L92 water pump and throttle body. They barely fit with the LS3 intake, but they do all fit!

Here is the stock Mustang trans crossmember. I couldn't use it, but it lines up nearly perfect. My header guy fabbed up the tubular trans mount in the second pic.


I don't have any pictures of the headers out of the car, but they are 1 7/8" 304 stainless.



Here's the iPad mounted in place of the radio. The ECM and fuse box are behind the iPad, mounted to the IP carrier.

Here's the motor installed and ready to run:

It's stock 2.5" Mustang exhaust (with no cats) after the headers...stock h-pipe and Roush mufflers.

How 'bout your guages? Does your Ford dash function properly, or did you have to replace any guages?
By the way, this is an awesome swap. Good work!!

I'm using the OBDII wireless connector to send all PCM data to the iPad and am using DashCommand for iPad as gauges.

Do you have a link for the wireless OBDII adapter?

Engine looks good but the bay could really use a cleaning. Motor mounts could use paint.

Yes I know I had to be that guy. Sorry I'm a clean freak, I couldn't help myself.

I know I know...I'm that way myself. I was in a bit of a rush to get it running for MustangFest, and sadly, let it sit for about a month after...things will get cleaned up a bit in the near future...
