And the excitement only gets worse from here lol

The guy who was working the spray wand when your car went down the line did a good job of painting the firewall. It actually has paint all the way to the bottom, something I don's see on most of these cars.

If ya don't look at the TRANNY TUNNEL bwaahahaaha
 
Seriously though I guess I haven't seen enough empty bay pics. I felt like this thing was bad lol. The frame rails close to the front are pretty much just gray. Then again, my friend's dad saw many GM cars in his dealership work days come in looking far worse than mine!! Jeez....

I just noticed you're missing something. There should be a decal on the driver's side valve cover with info about the engine. My stock valve covers had one.

Yeeeahhh...I threw that the hell out. Was partly missing, real fragile, I just said eff it. Was kinda pissed off but can't win 'em all right? I still have to find a way to replicate the emissions diagram. That's all shiznitty. They're real specific and have a specific three or four digit alphanumeric in the corner based on year and stuff. And some cars have colors in the lines, etc. I could definitely photoshop something, but I need to see it exactly. And of course taking a picture straight on won't do well, the arc of the shroud would probably screw it up. I guess I could play around with it if someone took a good picture.

You can use this for your emissions decal: http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/item/OS-DF1115/1987-Mustang-50L-Emission-Decal . I used the one for an 88 Mustang on my T-bird. It has the HO firing order, but that's correct for both of our cars now ;).

This *might* work for your valve cover: http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/item/OS-DF1415/1986-Mustang-Gt-Engine-Code-Decal-Aod

I could try taking a picture of the decal on my stock valve covers if you want. I think it's about 90% intact.

Wow. They have that thing!!!?  LOL. I guess what I need to do is buy one of those mustang shroud stickers...or even the Tbird one on ebay (someone is making other 80s ford vehicle emissions stickers, I was looking through em one night) and scan it in, and change the bottom left corner code and anything else I can still read on my original. I think that would work.
 
That engine sticker could also be easily photoshopped. Take a picture or just post here what it says. The format is right there to see on their sticker.

Got the trans in Friday night. Converter came in the mail and I couldn't resist. Sure funny looking at the thing, it looked lost in the bellhousing, and you can't help but say "I paid all that money for this y little thing?" :giggle:

No reason why I couldn't get it ready to fire next weekend, see how motivated I get LOL. I don't know why I'm not chomping at the bit more to drive it. Shouldn't have bought that black thing...

Another Dirty Dog converter lol. This time direct from THEM, stalled to ironically, what my sig says or thereabouts. I was probably wasting torque in fact with a 3000 RPM stall, which is what the secondhand one I had turned out to do in my car. But this is a lightER 9.5" non-lockup that is reinforced and can withstand the 6200 redline of a 5.0. And there was evidence of ballooning on the other one, the flexplate bolt heads can be seen imprinted on the converter face slightly. That's really the only reason I bought this thing. $550 for 700 rpm, safely with no shrapnel. I guess it's worth it LMAO
