Finally got the car running last night. Still need to set the timing. There is still more work to be done before I can drive it, but this was a huge milestone for me. I hope to drive it in the next week or so then get it aligned and an exhaust made for it. Here are two videos I took last night:
YouTube - Mustang Running
YouTube - Fastback Running
Then I can start the finish work (cleaning up the engine bay wiring, etc)
The basic rundown:
Ford Racing X306 Crate Motor
Rebuilt C4
Holley 600CFM 4 barrel vacuum secondaries
FPA Longtubes
Borgeson Steering Conversion
Classic Auto Air Engine Upgrade Kit
Maier Racing Suspension w/ Bilstein Shocks

An OG Cafords member BlueOvalRacing. Actually, it was probably 98cobra.com back then. Unsure of how much power it can take but definitely more than the 340HP that I'll be putting to it.

I'll let you know in about a week. I made two changes to the hoses/saginaw pump that make it fit 100x better.
