yeah well i got more work done on this pos
driveshaft is in, trans is cleaned up with new filter and gasket along with 6qts of type f to help it last a little longer lol. managed to find all the bolts i needed for the pan in my misc bolt bin :fy:
also got the fuel system started and the rear half of the 3/8ths hardline ran...OE the feed and return lines are 5/16ths/8mm....weak
now its got a nice big bosch that amazingly enough fit the oe bracket with just some bending and using a longer clamp bolt.
damn bracket is double insulated from the body by rubber mounts....some extra weight lol
aftermarket stock replacement pump rigged in there...things still good but its only rated to 3 bar

all the oem wiring is gonna be bypassed in favor of the pcm driven FPrelay control circuit and a dedicated relay and 10ga power and ground ran to the pump
the oe FP wiring is intact and can be switched from the cab...maybe ill use it for the airhorn compressor :s00ls:
here's the new hotness and formed 3/8ths hardlines...talk about a fucking convoluted path for the fuel lines lol
tryin to decide if i wanna remove each hanger and run the 3/8ths in place of the 5/16ths or just ziptie that shit to em :rofl:

took a bit of time but it was well worth it to run the 3/8ths hardline in the oem routing of the old 5/16ths stuff...gotta find more corrugated wire loom for the dedicated FP wires and finally secure the shields.
fixed my leaks from the other day...but one of em moved 2 inches over :rofl:
the line ran in its contorted path over the driveshaft and over the axle, replaced the 84 vintage rubber hose to the tank while i was in there.

runs up the drivers side to the e85 tahoe filter (plumbed the correct direction) with an hose and quick disconnect.

above...i grooved the return line ends and just ran 400psi 5/16ths hose, plenty good if a bit hacked :jg:

and now all the lines on top are silver...need to finish a couple things and wire up a ALDL connector into the car then i dare say i can start this pig...after i put 5 gal of fresh gas in lol

Lookin tits man!

I gotta get over to help but I am full packed before nationals
nah get the heap running for nationals...either both the technicolorGP and TGP gotta go to it....show em someones crazy enough to keep one on the road

neat, so you won't even be able to hear a problem if it is occurring lol.

once its running im gonna retard timing a bit and turn out the lights for a vid. :fy:
i still need to figure out my radiator...i need something smaller and i gotta get outside measurements off the xr7 rad in the junkyard...the inlet/outlet are perfect and it looks to be 6inches narrower than the mustang rad.
drivers side header is ready to weld, pass side i may be raising to give me more room for clearance between primarys and DP when changing/reading plugs

Explorer radiators are narrower than the mustang ones, and the V-8 ones are 4 core. They can be found commonly/cheaply but are rather tall IIRC. (Look like they are 21 wide, 24 tall roughly, 1 inch thick if the 4 core)
