Glad to see there some forward process being made on this build again. I just picked up a 2020 PP1 Premium in January and you totally sold me on this kit. I have a few smaller things I need to pickup for mine, but plan on doing my install here in the next month.

Check out the thread I made on mustang6g. Another member on there created a parts list for everything that is pretty comprehensive.

That thread has more detail than this one, although SVTP is my home base.

I've seen that those as well. Definitely great resources to have. I just ordered up the last few items that I needed a couple days a go. So once I go through my shift rotation at work here in a couple weeks I'll be starting to tear down the car to install everything.

Finished up the motor build/install. Got lots done this weekend.


--bought a new set of shoes
--Had to align the front end due to installing a tubular K member (suspension bolts to K member)
--Installed front bumper cover


She's alive!! Runs great. Feels good driving this girl again and THANKS TO BRANDON, this is now my most cost efficient vehicle to drive being it burns straight e85 at $3.49/gallon.

Drove car to work all week.. 300+ miles.

Dropped oil and filter. Cut filter open to inspect for break-in material in filter pleats.

Looked better than I expected. That said, pics are a little deceiving.. there was more metal that it appears, but nothing that had me concerned.

Filled her up with 10 fresh quarts of Penzoil Ultra Platinum.

Sim I use those prepaid Amsoil used oil analysis kits. I think it’s $20-25 prepaid and I’ve checked every oil change in my JDM 5.8
Just a thought. At least tracking it every year can tell you quite a bit.
Great job!
