We did the first start today!! My goal was to get this completed in May but due to some fuel leaks we didn't get it completed until 6/2/13. While behind goal handling the fuel leak was much more important.
The fuel leak was due to my being fancy with the hard fuel line junction. I mated them near a 90 bend and this caused the two lines to not seal. I rebent until they were together and that did the trick.
Note the air cleaner's location is just temporary. I used the cold-air kit that came with the Ford Racing computer control module. I intend to route the air filter to between the radiator and engine. While there is plenty of room here, it will be very hot air entering the engine. I will need to come up with some good option here.
