Had to grind down a socket to get the GH torque converter and billet flex plate connected View attachment 90998
Fit like a glove…barely but we got it!
This dude knows his shit!
Turbos, front axles and suspension coming up…3rd trip to the parts store this time at Ford. Overall everything so far has been accounted for…..not easy when your build is going on 3+ years so I’m happy about that.

Fitted on the accessories and got things finalized for drop in. Lots of loose ends and double checking.

Engine fought a little bit. The upgraded flex plate was a little bit thicker so the torque converter clearance wasn't what we'd hoped but we made it work.

Engine in and harness being ran. Trying to devote a little time to wire management so we can have an overall cleaner look.

Front suspension, axles and brakes installed. These rotora rotors and calipers package is obscenely huge and look FANTASTIC!

What is funny is, most people that I have met from this forum actually imagined that is what I look like.

I thought it was that face with t rex arms

What’s funny is even though I know otherwise I still read his posts in Fry’s voice.

That makes me chuckle. Far from the case huh?

Usually I look really homeless, or like Super Mario.

Yo this dood doing house calls now?! I'm 2 hours south what's good?!

 

[Zpak]

Most excellent! That’s a lot of progress. All the tedious work cleaning and painting everything really paid off. Looks incredible under there!

HAHAHA - I can look homeless too

More progress so far today. Beginning transmission cooler lines, we've got some coolant piping on, catch can sort of installed. Figuring out the plugs on the wiring harnesses and labeling for when I leave so @802SHO has more reference points when I leave. Essentially all harnesses have found their plugs and what isn't is zip tied out of the way.

Soon will be the front end components but time is ticking as this is my last day here!

95 percent of the time while in public, I am in Jesus shoes, basketball shorts, a tee shirt, and trucker hat.

Not to be "that guy" but you spent so much time and money making a super car - the one stock part you kept was this?

Trust me I know….starter and alternator are eye sores haha! Something to do later

 

[Zpak]

New starters and alternators don’t make you go any faster.

Exactly!!! My man well said

 

[Zpak]

Ok I stand corrected. Yeah WTF Andrew!? Hahaha

I was looking at nicer ones than that that you could choose the powder coat but the lead time was 2-3 weeks so …I’m just using what I got now but it’ll get swapped out soon, maybe sooner than later lol

No pressure, you have your hands full.

@802SHO Stated his distaste for how raggedy it looked so don't give him too many ideas lol. I was making fun of him for trying to paint bolts up as we were going
