Been giving some thought of taking it to a shop that lifts and lowers trucks to see what it'd cost.

just a quick update! got everything back together decided to send the altenator to a rebuild shop to have it torn down and having the housing powder coated later this week. Also ordered a 36" universal stainless steel upper radiator hose kit and waiting still for the tb to return from polishing drained and flushed coolant and changed oil so as soon as these last few parts come in she will be rollin again! Seeing every thing finally come back together deff made this all worth while. It looks awsome! also finally decided to do this under the hood with the older ford motorsports logo

No need to be sorry. You're building something to be proud of, and thank you.

quick update Almost got her back together(a 2 weekend job has turned into almost 6 weeks and about went over my budget by 4x) Can't get ahold of the guy thats polishing my Stock tb and since the casting cracked on my bbk unit cause it was dropped......whoops.. I was forced to just purchase a new bbk unit after i just bought another stock unit off a member on here! LMAO! SO now i will have 4 throttle bodys (1 bbk unit no good) But soon i will have 2 for sale if any one needs one and one will be show polished. Should be up and running this week! and blower is going on once i get my custom tune in!

Thanks man! Was going to start the install this weekend onthe blower but thinking i need to work all the small bugs out with this before i install. Thinking with in the next month I will have it put in. Just porting the intake matching it to the larger TB made a huge difference when i started it last night. I talked to bill at PHP yesterday and he's in process of writing my custom tune Im thinking this lil 4.6 is gonna move those 35's pretty good with the blower.
