Well today I was able to fire it up for the first time! Thanks to Arts good wire diet it started up fairly quickly with no issues. These FF side pipes are loud!! I am sure it has to do with the sound bouncing off the garage walls but I think some gas-n pipes are due to be ordered for the final install. 151771151772151773

Congratulations on this major milestone. Sounds like someone else is excited also. How about some info on your build.
Looks like a pre 99 4.6 Cobra engine, trans, rear, gears, brakes? Looks like a neat installation.

I searched some of your previous post and got some answers.
On your SpeedHut gauges, you might prefer F instead of C on the temp gauge. You can also get turn signal indicators and hi low beam indicator in your speedo face. You might even get a shift indicator light.
I do not know if F5 gauges have the option, might have to go through SpeedHut.
Enjoy your pics.

I love the end of the video :) " IT WORKS!!!!!" I felt the same way when mine fired up. Great job Morrisett!
