I had posted over at NastyZ that I got the Stainless works swap headers and they came with the motor mount adapter plates, but the ones I got were made wrong, they were too tall and hit the lower rail on the engine. I called SW and they were the ones that said they were made wrong, they were supposed to contact me today, but I didnt hear anything.
Regardless, my cousin and friend came over on Saturday and helped me for a few hours. When I told my cousin about the issue with the swap plates he said he "couldnt wait" another week to get the engine in the car so he ground the plates down to the proper height and painted them and the clamshells. Then around this time my uncle also came over and we all got the LR4 in the car.
The headers are excellent! They practically fell into place in there, it does help that I dont have anything else there though. The brake line is in the way ever so slightly and I just have to pull it back a little on the left side to get the header into place. Also the headers basically in-line with my current exhaust, so I wont have to do much to get them together, just need some 3 bolt flanges that I can fit on the collectors and I should be ready to go.
Last night I also started on getting the harness ready as a "stand alone" I got about 3/4 of the way there last night. Taking off the loom and the harness tape is the most time consuming part of the whole job. It was also a lot less daunting once I got into it. I wouldnt hesitate to do it again. I worked on it a little more tonight. I have the harness on the engine now all draped on, layed where it will go in the end. For now I am just going to leave the ECM in the engine compartment, I am going to hid it on the back of the inner fender under the fender to keep it out of sight for the most part.
Once I start on the AAW Classic update body and engine harness Ill integrate the two together and try starting the engine before I get too far into putting the rest of the car back together.
I would also like to say a big "Thank you " to JS Performance for selling me the Headers and the AAW Classic update kit. Both are definitely worth the money.
Still waiting on parts! Waiting sucks

There's a reason we only sell the best stuff.. There is so much aggrivation in this business, when you find a quality product that looks, fits, and lasts as good as it works you accept nothing less..
When are we putting the blower on it?

We are not a charitable organization..
Call Jerry's kids and see if they will do a telethon for your Procharger fund.

Well, it's the Black Pearl. Don't you have a stash of pirate gold or something?

I havent quite taken over as the new "Dread Pirate Roberts" as of yet, so the stash of dabloons is limited and will not support an upgrade such as a boosted application for this car at t his time

You can't fly the Jolly Roger just yet as you are still at the mildly amused Roger stage.

Actually I was going to start asking people on this board about finding dealers for Fikse's or know when they do their sale each year. I think with my brakes I am going to have to get new wheels sooner than I anticipated.

bought myself a little piece of insurance for my car, not necessarily this engine, but since it came already, I may as well put it in the car and on this engine. Canton was running a special batch of the black Accusumps and I really wanted one. 
I am hoping it will fit under the radiator support under the radiator since it is a lot longer than I thought it was going to be 
Not much else to report since last time. I did a little more on the wiring harness as you can see in the picture a little. I have parts trickling in and more stuff to buy still. I almost am not looking forward to Englishtown this weekend and hanging out with my friends and cousin. I would rather work on the car.

I have a genuine concern/want for this actually. The sump in the oil pan I have is only around 4 quarts or something, unless I overfill all the time I could starve the engine quite quick in a turn. Ironically the Accusump alone was more than I paid for this engine  but the intent is also to protect what ever next engine I put in the car. Most likely a new crate engine.
Plus I really wanted it

I got the wiring harness about 95% completed today. I have two wires to lengthen, for the alternator, not sure why the truck harness had two and the car harness only had one wire. Then I have to wire in the relay for the fuel pump and fuses for the other ignition power and run wires for the ALDL. I also need a ECM mount too, since I didn't get that with the harness.
Need a fuel pressure regulator and then I can basically try to fire the engine up. Since I changed the cam sensor and I had no crank sensor I will need to do a re-learn, but I am not sure how to do that yet. Anyone know? If not I have a factory shop manual for a 99 F-car, that should tell me.

I am pretty sure some trucks could be ordered with dual alternators...

No, That's not it. One wire says turn on, as the car harness has, the other is labeled "Generator field duty cycle". I am wondering if that is a function of the ECM or the alternator. I'd rather only have the one wire
