What fuel filter did you use and how did you regulate it and connect the lines to the truck fuel rails? Also it looks like you routed the lines up the passenger side is that correct? Thanks

Yes, I ran the fuel line up the firewall on the passenger side. I used the factory truck intake wich has a fuel regulator built into the fuel rails. I used some fuel line quick connects with 6an fittings feed like is 3/8 and return is 5/16.
Here's the fittings I used.

I used this division x high flow fuel filter for e85.

What k member are you using? I used a AJE and it fit fine. During the entire build I had the hood off and figured for sure the hood wouldn't fit. My brother helped me put it on just to see and we couldn't believe it fit. I just had to grind a bit off the top of the alt.

I got the headers off eBay. Just look up LS swap mustang headers they are long tubes and pretty good quality. They fit perfect with absolutely no clearance issues and took about an hour and a half to install.

No you didn't miss it, I forgot to mention it in the tread. It's a comp cam 228/230 .571 lift 112lsa. I should of gone with something bigger for the 6.0. But I'm still happy with it. No really drivability issues so far.

Easiest set of headers I've ever installed and for 300 bucks how could you go wrong. I've had them for a few months and held up pretty good so far.

You have the AJE SBC/LS engine mounts, correct? How much noise and vibration do you get from them?

Thanks.

There isn't much vibration and I don't notice any noise at all. What I do notice is the body twist when I rev the motor. There is a bushing on the motor mount although small that helps with vibration.
