Thanks to everyone for all the help along the way!
 






Something BIG coming this weekend :D
 






Look what I did last weekend!

-MMR Stage 2 PI heads
-Comp Cams Stage 1 billet camshaft & springs
-MMR 30lb injectors
-Ported Bullitt intake manifold
-70mm Bullitt throttle body
-New Ford blue valve covers
-EGR system delete
-PCV system delete
-Installed breather filters on valve covers
-Motorcraft Plugs
-Mobil 1 Advanced Full Synthetic 5W-30 & K&N filter

The stage 2 heads I got from my neighbor who is going to stage 3 and a new Kenne Bell. Camshafts, springs and injectors I ordered from MMR. The Bullitt intake I bought from a guy on a mustang forum and came with just about everything I needed for the swap.

There is a lot to do yet.

My throttle cable bracket is all kinds of rednecked and being spaced back with a piece of metal ruler. So I need to fab up a new bracket. My cruise control cable is also not attached at the moment.

Yes, that is painters tape on my intake until I can figure out how I want to mount it.

I'm also getting codes for my EGR but I was expecting that. I'll be getting it tuned out in the coming weeks.

Then all that's left is to clean everything up really well.

So what do you think?

Curious to hear what that motor sounds like with the new heads, intake, and cams.
