Make sure you have a six pack, some good friends, and lots of patience at your disposal.

 

As for the TPS, ask Lee which one he uses. I could tell you but my car is four hours away. I got it from him. It is probably the most commonly found ford TPS sensor out there. It may take a little bit to get your intake in but it is all worth the wait in the end.

Take everything out and start by putting back one thing at a time, that the engine needs to run. You won't have much left by that time other than abs, power steering... ect. You need to have a wiring diagram for the car, that will tell you what things under the hood are for so you can figure out if you are going to need them or not.

 

 

Why did you paint it? That thing was purrrdy :( Do you have any pictures of it before?

just ordered the schneider 284 cam and valve springs should have it thursday or friday

 

with that turbine housing you will not be able to take advantage of that cam. i made same mistake.

Looking good. Curious as to the "not being able to take advantage of the cam" comment though. Someone care to explain for this n00b here? :lol:
