[Dakotals]

I couldnt get her done yet still dont have the trans jack back yet its getting pretty annoying so heres where im ar

 

[Dakotals]

oil pan on and ready.. yes this is a mustang oil pan i ordered a 4x4 pan and they sent wrong one so i sent it back and they sent the wrong one again! So im just using this one for now i will have to dent it a little bit

 

[Dakotals]

plugs are in ready to go

 

[Dakotals]

this is my temporary bypass for the rear of the intake not pretty as i keep saying right now i just want it in and running ill upgrade later plus this was free compared to buying parts for it

 

[Dakotals]

trying to get the tps on the carb ill be honest i had no idea how to get the choke cap back on had to make a call

 

[Dakotals]

i think i did it right ill find out when i hook it all up and turn the key

 

[Dakotals]

heres a old starter i found for a 302 i have another ford starter that does not fit so im doing a swap on the housing

 

[Dakotals]

thats much better if it dont work ill buy a starter i just was curious to see if this would work

 

[Dakotals]

getting ready to go in. I cant use that oil filter i put it on so i could add oil spin the pump and get some oil flow for a few minutes the motor has been sitting awhile so ive been lubing it as much as possible since ive had it. Now that filter wont fit its too large ill add a oil filter relocation kit. Ford and their giant oil filters sheesh

View attachment 155628 started to drop it in figured id stop and show everyone this before i get it out. The 4.0 starter is on driver side and the 5.0 on the passenger so you will need 5.0 starter wires

 

[Dakotals]

this is the fitment issue i was talking about its just touching the front axle. So this weekend when i drop the front axle to fix the pan leak ill smack it a few times and dent it tired of ordering the right parts and then getting the wrong ones

 

[Dakotals]

even with the pan touching it still dropped in pretty easily its sitting crooked due to pan but its still in now i can focus on wires up top then focus on the bottom
