Finally making some progress

Post by Chris »

Hey guys, It's been a while since I've had some time to work on the truck, but I'm finally making some progress. I'm finished the under hood engine and trans wiring. Well basically, everything under the hood is complete. I'm now trying to finish the interior wiring, then comes the PCM tune!!


I know its not the cleanest engine bay, but I was going for more of a "stock" look. I wanted it to look like it came from the factory with a V8 then I added the performance stuff to it.

Yea, it's definitely not a stock engine. I was hoping for a factory looking install though. Something like a factory equipped but modified 5.0L Mustang.
