    Got the Bronco sitting on the axles/tires. Liking it...and thinking,dam a BW 366 would really help turn those 37s! Flashback to the Lighting.

    I just could not get happy with valve covers on this thing. Wanted something with a nostalgic theme so I bought some cheap smooth VCs and added a Holman/Moody decal,and I'm finally happy. Really liking the look.

    Looks good Brian, are those edelbrock fuel lines, looks like it. I was looking at them but was concerned with the 6an size. That’s why I went with TFS rails but I have to get them mounted properly, angle issues.

    Yes,rails are Edelbrock. I don't think the -6 size is an issue. The Lighting only had ONE -6 line from the tank feeding both rails.

    I must have missed it, no intercooler? That looks really slick under the hood though.

    Starts out looking like you have plenty of room...and progressively gets more full! Not finished, will be neatened up at the end.

    Car wiring complete,have all the Holley stuff to go, and some small details to finish up. Added the smaller 6.8" Holley Pro dash,and bought a set of scales. SUPER happy it came in under 3k lbs. And surprised too!

    Looks amazing as usual! Do you have two sensors for fuel pressure? Do you have a goal for first track day?

    Thanks! One FP sensor for the Holley,the other for the gauge.

    I'll be taking baby steps at first. It's funny,with the SBE in the Lightning,I just went for it without caring,now with a bottom end that can take a lot of power,I'm feeling cautious! Must have something to do with having time and $$ in this one.

    First track day goals are no problems,and a 9 sec pass. :arco: Long term,needing that chute and an 8 sec slip.

    It'll be a while between tuning the engine,clutch and chassis, LOL. ...and learning how to drive it!
