Good job. Glad you're almost done. Now, GET THE TITLE !!!!  I wonder when you're going to get stopped by the police for driving it illegally, and have it impounded. I will buy it from you for a dollar, tell you that I'll get the title, then, in reality, keep it for myself.

Those of you that know me on a personal level know that the car is going through some more changes, I am currently building another 5.0 for the red bird.  The new engine is a 2000 Explorer 5.0 with an E303, 1.6 Roller rockers, trickflow springs, and some other good stuff :)  I will post some progress pics when I get a chance.

347FTW!!!! (would be nice, I wish I had one)

It looks like the engine in my Thunderbird, except I painted the timing cover Ford blue as well.

I noticed you're running the Explorer upper with the stock HO valve covers. Did you have to use a spacer or did it clear fine? I'm going to stick an Explorer intake on my Mark and I was wondering if I needed a spacer to clear the stock HO valve covers. The Thunderbird runs FRPP ribbed EFI Cobra valve covers and they are taller than stock so I had to run a 1/2" intake spacer to clear them.
