Fabricated mounts for my new fans onto the new radiator using some old flat TV mounting stuff I found in my garage. Worked very well considering.

At this time, work is being paused due to the extreme heat. Here are the things I need to do:
1.Mount A2W lines to frame.Figure out how to clearance front bumper for one of the A2W exchanger fittings.
2.Finish mounting ice tank. Wire ice tank to switch.
3. Route fuel pump FC3 controller +12V wiring to battery.Connect triggers for FC3 to ECU/fuel module.
4.Complete T56 speedometer, reverse light and reverse lockout solenoid wiring.
5. Add ATF to trans.
6. Wrap exhaust running by wheel well areas to manage heat.
7. Connect ECU to dash (need to wire AEM Net +/- by splicing wiring room for CAN+/-.)
8. Mount some type of aftermarket coolant expansion/recovery tank .
9. Add engine oil and coolant, check fuel system for leaks, tighten everything and do a once, twice-over.
It should be ready to configure ECU and attempt a first start by this point, so, not very much left.
Got some work done this weekend...f*** the heat...I was bored, it's moving along.

Getting closer. Always great when you have less than 5 things left on your build list. Current status of car.

6. Wrap exhaust running by wheel well areas to manage heat.
7. Connect ECU to dash (need to wire AEM Net +/- by splicing wiring room for CAN+/-.)I decided to get the OBD2 connector for now.
8. Mount some type of aftermarket coolant expansion/recovery tank.
9. Add engine oil and coolant,check fuel system for leaks, tighten everything and do a once, twice-over. Lots of fuel leaks I had to fix and discovered a broken fuel filter so waiting for a replacement in the mail.
10. Battery is dead so need to get it warrantied.

That’s exciting AF. Almost there!
Thank you. I am currently tuning it on the factory ECU as I need a proper engine wiring harness built for my AEM ECU. The Ford Copperhead ECU is no joke tuning haha. Has like 14+ spark timing tables and a whole plethora of stuff waiting for you to screw up. Makes the DSM ECU seem like a lego toy in comparison. It's running great part throttle and idle...now dialing in the WOT. I have it on gate...3psi on pump gas so I have a little margin of error. as I figure it outYou have an absolutely gourgous Mustang. I am partial to Blue and it will be a Blue STREAK.
Hard work pays off and makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside!
Have you gotten any tuning done to her?
