My Daddywagon

The list as it stands now:
1. wiring for electronic fuel injection
2. wiring for alternator
3. wiring for starter
4. plumbing for fuel injection
5. plumbing for rear brakes
6. miscellaneous plumbing and wiring (coolant hoses, lights I disconnected, etc.)

 

Oh yeah! Your bike is high end! Carbon fatty fork! Nice!

 

Alloy fork, just painted black OEM.

My OTHER bike though...ACE...All Carbon Everything...frame, bars, etc

 

Almost forgot!
7. exhaust work
8. tires

 

I don't think there ever is a "final version." There's always something to change, tweak, upgrade, etc.

Keep up the good work!!!

 

Ok. We can scratch off #'s 3,4,5, & 8. There is a chance that I can turn the key on this thing this weekend! It's just a 100% stock 1986 mustang gt motor, but it would be a huge step forward, and I could start my 351w build knowing that wiring and plumbing would be in place to support the larger displacement motor!

 

Score!

 

I spent the all of today trying to get this wagon together. I am closer but I am not there yet. After taking today off I have to work straight through to and including saturday. I might get a couple of hours after work to wrench each day. The wiring is almost done. I need to source computer power and connect 3 air conditioning related wires. Vacuum for egr, evap canister and climate controls still need to be connected as well. I still have the weekend as my goal.

 

I started the car today. It won't stay running if I take my foot off of the gas pedal. Maybe throttle position sensor or ignition related. Definitely a huge milestone for me. I am tickled pink! I have more to do before I can drive it.

 

Saw this in a Coyote Swap FB group:

 

Wow! That is awesome! Clean too! I wish mine were that clean! Time and money. That person has more of one or both than I do. Maybe I should scratch the 351 and shoot for the voodoo engine from a gt350! That reminds me I gotta buy some lottery tickets.

 

Amazing how many problems money would solve

 

And how many it can cause haha

 

Just waiting for the

 

Well played

 

I drove it yesterday! It's not 100% done but I got it to where I was able to drive it! Now that I've driven it, I really want to get it done, but my parts fund is depleted. If I can build it up by Christmas I'm gonna put a 351w under the tree! Or maybe I will win my fantasy football league and fund it that way!

 

Congrats on the milestone! Must have felt good to drive it after all this time.

 

Abso-lutely! I just got in from driving it again! And I am tickled! I can see that finished with the power levels I want this thing is gonna be a blast to drive! I am heel-toeing all the downshifts just to hear it! Idling at a light it has a slight rumble. When you step on it the flowmasters let everybody know! It's smoking a bit(probably valve seals), but idles great once it's warm. I was turning in to the bank parking lot and spun the tires a bit. It drives really well! It feels solid! I cannot wait until it's 100% done! I am so tempted to drive it to work tomorrow!
