Everything works again, apparently the OD servo wasn't connected to the band so it wouldn't go into OD. luckily we were able to do it from removing only the valve body

Also a fyi, a lot of people on ebay sell the center vent from a cougar of the same year and say mustang/cougar.. Not true, the cougar one will not fit it is larger.
 

Heads back on, new valves and chains. let's see what happens next.

as my luck would have it, cam timing chain broke, and sent the valves into the pistons,, yay!

got my exhaust manifolds back today, sent them out to Jet-Hot for ceramic coating..they are gorgeous ! they are coated inside and out, and its not that powder coat stuff either, 
 

Today I went to home depot and was looking for a piece of steel. I saw this "grate" stuff so I figured, why not fill in the bottom of the front valance. 
So I did.

 

made a skid plate today, just in case that deep sump catches something.

Got the dash back together today with my new vintage air unit. Added a Mark VIII shifter, an OD off light, and a Normal/Sport button for the US Shift computer.
 
 
 

your right, yours looks better and actually shows some silver in there, This was painted by some hack who said it was silver jade.
 

Today, the engine is back in, had to squeeze it in because of that MMR deep sump oil pan.

I did a search on silicone dot5 and everything I read about it tells me to stick with dot4
 

Very Nice
 

It will need to be custom, which is not much $ 
I have a 4.6 and used an x pipe made for that engine, after the mufflers is where you will need it custom made. 
The pipes will have to go under the axle, there will be Zero room above it.
Dont worry, you cant see them when on the ground.

my suggestion is dont mess with the trap door. it rattles and looks bad.
Ive used an infinity bass-link mounted in the trunk off to the side. this unit is discontinued, but there are other similar units out there. 
for the speakers i put them in the quarter side panels in molded housings.
Did them on the front doors too, but have since regretted that, your leg will sit against it.
In short, it sounds awesome, especially with Metallica playing !
 
 

Thanks , I may just go through with it after all.  I will have to do bracing like yours. 

Yep, I saw that too yesterday, but thats no big deal. I can fab up that stuff.
