First and foremost - I want to personally thank all of you that made this information so readily available. The available resources and tips on this collective forum is worth millions. All of you that take the time to contribute are greatly appreciated!
I have been through the list of parts back and forth, up and down, forward and backward. I work at a Ford dealership so each and every part that was available from Motorcraft will be used all the way down to the hoses and clamps. I expected my swap to take longer because all the final details will be addressed one by one. The hardware, nuts, bolt, clamps, will all be OEM. The blower is coming apart for a rebuild and being powdercoated to resemble polished aluminum along with a spare set of cam covers that have called a shelf home for the last decade.
I managed to get a Cobra intake tube on eBay. The filter type and size will be determined.
The big stuff is here and inventoried.
A few final parts that DO add up will still need to be bought including the Aeromotive pump, injectors, AFR gauge, MAF, IAT, and belt tensioners.
I am in no hurry. I will certainly wait until everything is here and ready. Aside from small details, I have tried to be as thorough as possible with parts harvesting.
This has been parked for 9 months and was only driven 12 miles in '21.
She turns 18 on March 26th. It's about time she starts making big power.
