Besides a little bit a wiring left, she's almost ready for a first test run.

Apologies that the photos aren't in order, i uploaded them from my phone

Almost like Ford designed it. Lol

There isn't a lot of room under the hoods on the tenth gens with the intended motors so i know it had to be close.

I hope you have a build thread because i have tons of questions that i would hate to make you answer twice.

Well i have to ask how are you going to wire up everything? Did you get any work done on the 5.8 before dropping it in?

I have basically stripped all the wiring out of a wreck 95 f150 so it will more or less be a plug and play set up, besides doing a gauge cluster retro fit or build one. The motor is stock besides the egr and smog pump delete. My plan for that is to finish the truck and make sure everything works as it should then build up another 5.8 for a quick swap later on.

Sounds like a pretty good plan. I'm looking forward to seeing how you like it.
