This week, I completed the rewiring and relocation of the starter wires (soleniod and 12v) The soleniod wire and connector were a little fried.

Fixed the oil flter adaptor. The billet piece Brent gave me with teh engine is real nice, but the oil filter smashes against the sway bar.

On the previous incarnation of the engine I had the stock adaptor taken to a machine shop. He milled the adaptor on an angle, and then faced all the bolt faces on the same angle.

The filter is 1/2" clear of the sway bar, in the worst case scenario.

I spent a little time polishing all the Ford blue paint off of the adaptor, to match the aluminum engine, and popped it on.

Some more parts coming this weekend, including another power valve and air/fuel gauge

The drivers door has developed this really bad rattle in the window.
It doesn't help that the engine shakes the car so much

Little bit of rain this weekend.
Tires have brutal traction in the rain
