Awesome build! Nice to see a Ford on Ford transplant! Came out great, and has to be a blast!

Thanks to Modular Depot for figuring out the engine tuning issues; the Comet apparently is running perfectly now.

More importantly, it is being delievered tomorrow! Updates to follow.

Ford told me that it would cost 15-25k (engine not include) to upgrade wiring, engine mounts, and i.e. Is this true or just methods to upsell other products.

not to threadjack but I guess it depends on how you plan to do it

im running the motor with a retuned 97 processor and harness and im doing 98% of the work myself. motormount pads are the same so earlier mounts bolt up. ill post photos in my own thread when it gets closer to running/driving...

Any Updates??

Hi all,

Sorry for the delay in posting any updates . . . but I've been too busy driving!!! A buddy took some video of the Comet, and the YouTube link is below. It was taken in a parking garage with a iPhone video camera, but it still shows the car (video of the engine starts around the 3 minute mark if you want to skip ahead). Ignore the tool in the softball shirt (yes, me).

I'll post more pics and video as soon as I get a chance.

Thanks,
Josh
