Hey Marc, sounds like you are closer than I am. I know the feeling about waiting on parts!

Boy as soon as you think you're gonna get a bunch done you find out you're human and getting older.
Took a bunch of days off this month to get the mustang ready for the engine then screwed up my back somehow. Been sleeping on the floor for a couple days. Finally felt good enough to get something done today and pretty much finished up the trunk.
Notice there is a different battery in there than before. Well just so happens that the battery (Optima) in my truck took a powder so the Interstate went in there which allowed me to satisfy my (and Leny's) artistic needs about color. Yeah, I know it's an Optima. I've never used a red top, only yellow, so I'm spinning this into being a yellow top problem with me. Weak, I know, but it's all I've got.
Anyway I'm sitting down a lot and trying to get stuff done. Moving from back to front.
BTW ended up powder coating the battery tray. And holy crap that latch is ugly, gonna have to chrome that ;)

Pretty much have everything done from the firewall back. Seats and steering are all mocked up and ready to tighten if all works out.
Tried something different this time. Notice the multi pin connectors hanging out of the dash. I'm trying to make everything as modular as possible for easy r&r down the road. I'm kinda liking my electric system. Hope it works after all this.
Doing a bit of treading water after this weekend waiting for an engine but that'll give me time to tweak things and do some bolt tightness checks. I'd like to tidy up my wiring but until everything is run to the front end I'd just be tidying what I'd have to take back apart. Guess I can get my brakes all done and working and I have to re run the steering gear lines, and, and, and............ LOL still plenty to do.

Liking those connectors, they will pay big dividends...

Bored at work again. Thought I'd show you a couple engine things as we are in mockup.
First, I haven't seen anyone using these lifters so thought I would run 'em by you guys.
They are Isky Red Zones. They're small block solids with a pretty big axle. Seem pretty indestructible. Notice there is a hole for axle oiling as well as for up the pushrods. PN included for info.









Next is the port match between Jays adaptater and BBM heads. Pretty darn nice. Keeps the bills down.










Next just an engine shot showing the "new Harland Sharps" that are oiled through the pushrods.
Only 4 bolts hold them in so we're going to pin them at each end. Should be fine for the street.

Very nice, Marc! That adapter/head matches near perfectly. Looks like whoever built them knew what they were doing ;)

I have no experience with them, but that captive tie bar system on the rockers looks like a good design. I was talking to Jack Miller during Drag Week about when Scott had the broken rockers. Knowing that the T&D system oils through the pushrod, and if a lifter spits out, you're going to lose oil pressure, I asked him how they managed to tie up the lifters to keep the lobes from popping them out. He said they didn't have to, that they never came out. He went on to explain that they were using a button type captive link on the lifters they had (unlike the sliding link style), which kept the lifters tied together good enough that they didn't pop out. Yours looks like the same design.

Hi, I am wondering about the gas tank and pump, the one I looked at the in tank pump was good for 1000 HP and if that is true I would like to use it any bad experiences, Wow that is looking so nice it is coming together how cool. Leny Mason

Hi Leny
All I did was order a setup from Tanks Inc.
Told them what I had and the hp then they sent me the kit. No muss no fuss.
I can't remember the parts pn's off hand but would be happy to look it up if you're interested.
I'm thinking you're going to be a bit more custom with your deal.

Got my shipment from Jay of the computer and ignition parts and well I've got some stuff to work out.
Thought I was going to mount the computer in the glove box but it's to big. My backup plan all along was to build a console and that looks like what I'll do. I'll mount the computer in the console and give myself some room for accessories. This will prolly help my a/c vent construction also.

Put together a pattern for the center console today.
Main purpose is to house the efi EMC, relays and such. The nice thing is there are holes in the body already available there, so my plan of hiding as much wiring as possible is looking good so far.
Doesn't hurt that extra goodies like cup holders can be stuck in easy. I'm going to mount a hand brake behind it next to my seat.

Marc, the console should turn our nice. I like the thought of cup holders. 

Looks like you got enough room for a decent size TV screen too. You could stream Netflix while you’re cruising.  :o
