The Eagle has landed!! Headers are next. She fills up the engine compartment for sure! She is also very tall. Good thing I have a Boss 429 hood scoop and already a large hole under it!

Do the shock towers have reinforcement/doublers for the torque?

This Mustang was an original 390 GTA car. So it has the shock towers welded and will receive sub-frame connectors. Who knows, maybe a roll cage is in its future...

The pulley, alternator, and power steering pump spacing took some money and finesse. Stan Johnson at Ford Powertrain Applications is a wealth of information on what is out there on these new crate engines. Machinist is spinning new spacers for the PS pump this week. Pulleys are Ford Racing, brackets are CVF Racing, and a .909 crank spacer was sourced from Ford Racing also. These crate motors look the same on the front, but there are subtle differences.
Headers are still a week away. These headers are the first of their kind to fit a high port Ford "Z" head on a 9.5 deck into a vintage Mustang. Anyone attempting this conversion is welcome to ask me questions on what I ran into. Here is a link to Stan Johnson's website. He specializes in headers for Ford applications. They are top dollar quality and tuck up high under the car to provide max ground clearance. Check out his site!

Is that a Chrysler power steering pump?  |

Radiator and fan installed.* Fun stuff with the lower radiator hose, but got through it.* Left side exit water pump on these crate motors.* Found a 1970 351/302 Windsor hose that worked.
This engine conversion provides me a simple engine.* No electric fans, no power adders, no sensors, no computers, and a single four barrel to tune after my days of 48 IDA Weber fun!* Simple and brutal, naturally aspirated for now!* Only comfort is power brakes and power steering.
Headers and power steering pump spacers next week.* That and a driveline will complete the package!* Other than spark plugs and wires.

Check out these beauties!* 1 and 5/8 to 1 3/4 diameter step headers from Ford Powertrain Applications for the Ford "Z" high port heads, Boss 351 based 460 CI. crate motor.* Max ground clearance and a prototype for my 1967 Mustang.* Where else can you find a supplier that is willing to build specific headers for the new configurations of these new motors for vintage Mustangs?* Highest quality and best fit!* Stan Johnson is a niche builder of vintage Ford headers.* Check out his site and get quality stuff for your specific build.* These headers are for my application, but they will fit many others.* Stan bleeds Ford blue and don't ask him for other brands.* He has his hands full keeping us Ford owners happy!* There are very few custom builders these days, and he has a full line of proven applications for many Ford engine swaps and applications.* This header should show up soon on his site for others to use.* I will post pictures of them installed soon.* I get nothing from promoting this good friend of mine other than the satisfaction of hooking up other Ford owners to the best in header design for their vintage Ford.
