This is what it looks like inside the air intake. I guess I need to start washing this part too, nice bug collector

One more, FYI I was confused about this whole system and didn't fully understand it until I installed it all....despite having it in my shelby. There so many covers on the shelby it's hard to see anything going on without taking the car apart.

There is a similar heat exchanger on the drivers side for the engine oil cooling, just for the track pack. I didn't get this for my car, Lexxion bought that and installed it with the 5.8 liter he put in his car. Maybe he will throw up a pic of he has one.

I had these extension pieces stuck in my x-pipe. I drilled a hole and welded in the rear O2 bungs.

Really love what you're doing here, I check this thread all the time to see how it's going.


Also, it's motivated me to get a few things done to my own car...I'm like, crap if he can do all that I can get busy and handle a few basic swap outs.

Are you guys talking about the coyote swapped fox-body with cobra wheels? That thing is pretty sweet!

Joking aside thank you. Lexiion helped yesterday and I there's a chance we might have the electrical plan that gets the car running. If not we have a plan B, and C if it doesn't work.

By the way I got an email from ford racing letting me know the control pack is now available (plan C). At this time I think if your putting the engine in an old hotrod the control pack is probably the easiest, if your putting the engine in a newer ford that has nearly the same electrical system as the truck (s197 mustangs) then I think making the factory computer work is possible. This is what I think today and this could change over the next couple of weeks as we work through these plans.

Got the fuel line installed, I bought the parts to make a custom line from the factory connection inside the fender well to the high pressure fuel pump mounted on the valve cover.
