Thank you, sorry for the long delay, it wasnt to hard to wire everything. Modular fords use weak magnetic VR crank and cam sensors, this required a few resistors to up the voltage and moving the jumpers on the AEM board from hall to mag. It will also require you to buy some sort of CDI, I went with an 8 channel AEM c2di, MY 1400 box only has 4 coil outputs, so we are running the engine wasted spark, the same way Ford and almost every manufacturer does it. If you went with an AEM 1900U you could fire all eight coils on there own. If you run low ohm injectors you will need a injector driver with the 1400 box but it is included in the 1900U. All in all it takes time but as with anything worth doing, it worth doing it right.

Car Craft was a blast, as were the races. Quite a few fast cars and good races. As for the car I had to send my computer to AEM for some repairs, I wired my coils without a cdi and smoked all the coil drivers. I got it back last week, but I have been sick and have not had time to work on it much. If all goes well we are going to start it back up tommorrow. I just got 2 new Turbo Start 12v batteries, other than the batteries there isnt much left.

Wolfe Racecraft makes the cage and Excessive Autosports installed it for me. I have almost eveything Wolfe makes for a mustang, the quality and workmanship is second to none. They have 20% off until Jan. 1. Wolfe Race Craft - Home Page

Very nice....

Did you fab the AN coolant fittings on the top of the block, or is someone selling them?

Thanks.

Thanks, we took a coolant crossover tube from a 98 cobra, cut it up, welded on mouting tabs and steel fittings. I paid $30 for the used crossover and $5 for each 12an fitting. I have seen others thread the heads, but we figured we would try this first.
