It's alive!
 

We just fired up the engine five minutes ago. Started up after about 10 seconds of cranking and purrs right along:jump:


This morning was very stressful after making a few phone calls and being told I had to have this, that, and buy this and then have this programmed I was losing my optimism. A big thanks to Scott at de-stroked for telling me to forget all of that, just hook three wires up and it will run. Bingo!!

We're gonna rig up some temporary exhaust and see how she drives this afternoon.

no pics, videos wtf :dang::td:

:pics:

i want to see:jump:

I'll put some pics up later. So relieved right now after being fed a bunch of BS misinformation this morning from a guy just trying to sell me his crap. I really appreciate that Scott helped me out, I've never even bought anything from the guy. I will be sending him something though, he helped me out when he didn't have to and that means a lot to me especially after this morning.

STOP THE BITCHING GET HIM A CHANCE TO POST THEM.

Runs great! I'm going to tie up some loose ends tomorrow and then I'll take some more pictures. Here's the ones I've posted before just to tide you over:pca1:

Got some pictures finally, the engine bay needs a bath now though! I ended up swapping over the hydroboost from the Dodge and using a super duty vacuum pump for the heater controls. I also swapped the seat out of the donor because I was bored, it needs recovered pretty bad.
The only thing that ended up kind of hoky in my opinion is the hood emergency catch. There was no room for the stock catch so I cut it off and had to install a cable for my emergency catch. Other than that, I'm digging it so far and working on finding a dana 60 for the front end.

Very nice, I would love to do an OBS ford sometime
