    [QUOTE=cipher;1363988]Well finally got it pulled. Thanks to a distributer gear sheading teeth i get to replace the oil pump. Well now is good as any time to install the pile of parts i been collecting for it.

    M127 Melling oil pump is a good idea for a new one. less effort than the original SVO pump and still the same volume. It is from late 80's and early
    90's rangers.

    I saw that after the fact that i already had the stock replacement installed but i will deffinatly give that one a shot if and i hope it don't but if this one has an issue. Thanks for the info as it is something that should be spread because these motors seem to have an issue eating distributor gears.

    Thanks E. J. I'm hoping it will be real fun when it's done being a real pain. lol. As far a suspension it is sporting all the stock svo gear including the koni's. I plan to leave it alone for now being it handled better then any other mustang i have had. The car was a real blast to drive before hoping it's has woken up a bit with what i have done with it this time around.

    SO here it is just before i took off the stand. Seems one step forward one step back. Got the turbo and manifold on and found the oil inlet is a diffrent size then stock so i need a fitting to use the new braided oil line. Then the oil outlet use a larger bolt of unditermind thread and pitch so i gotta figure out what i need and make another trip to town for bolts.

    Lol, aint that the truth. I got it off the stand today. Got the new flywheel on and the spec stg3 clutch on. Working on getting the throw out bearing in when i ran out of light. Hopefully I will have the trans and motor back together tomorrow.

    Mocking up the intercooler. Sits a little higher then i hoped. 1/3 of the top is behind the bumper. I may need to fab a plate for the top to help funnel the air thru it.



    Kinda sneaky up in the stock bumper, I like it. Just hope i can get enough air across it where it's at.

    Very nice progress. If I let you stay at my house for free and buy the food and beer will you do that for me? You can have the whole second floor to yourself.

    Not yet. Still thinking about a top flange to help any air that may want to go up and over the intercooler stay put.

    I might exspecially if you have concrete to work on. I am tired of shifting ply wood around like poor man's concrete. LOL.But in a pinch it worked better then sand to move the hoist around on.
