The headers.
So I bought turbo exhaust flanges from JEGS and the diameter of the port holes were 1.75". My MN12 Kooks headers have the 1.50" primary. I bought a steel tube from a welding shop with an OD of 1.75" and an ID of 1.50" perfect, only $5, they were going to scrap it. I cut the steel tube into 8 rings to have welded in the flange so I could match the 1.50" primary. I than had the headers welded on top of the flange. I just got them back this week and did a test fit, they are golden. The driver side is a little tight but it will work. I also had a extra O2 bung welded in for my wideband. So they are done for the most part, I just got them back from the machine shop. After all the welding, the heat will warp the flange, so I had them flatten the mounting side. Next week I'm having them ceramic coated.
The oil pan.
I have not done a test fit yet, I have to take the engine out and make sure the pick-up and oil pan for sure fit. Then I will drop the engine in again for good to make sure the oil pan is good.
Brakes and suspension.
I replaced my old Ed brackets with Dave's CNC brackets, they are really nice. These are for Cobra rotors in the rear. I also did a Mustang 4.50 hub swap and bought new UHMW knuckle and lower arm bushings for the rear. New Cobra rotors and pads, braided brakes lines, Reman Corvette calipers, Reman rear T-Bird calipers and wheel spacers for Mustang rims.
SpeedHut gauges
Man these are cool! Can't wait to have these in. The speedo is GPS, no VSS to plug into. Turn signal and flash built in. Made in the USA.
Lastly, things are going pretty smooth. I'm running out of money and excuses for the wife to buy car parts with the credit card. I'm currently looking for another Mustang GT to part out or flip to help finish this project. I'm hoping to be done by May 1st. That is the plan for now. But we all know that doesn't happen so for right now, wishful thinking.
Thanks for looking!
