No need to take a picture ... I will have it installed minutes after getting home ... the description makes perfect sense. Thanks for the offer though.

It's one thing after another with this car ... must keep a level head ...
Discovered why the battery was dead/dieing ... the 175am "Mega Fuse" on the fuseblock between the starter and alternator was blown. To make matters worse, I tried to remove the "post" nuts to get at the fuse and the black casing holding the block together cracked ... thanks Ford!
On a good note though, the headers fit damn well and the oil return line has plenty of clearance. Oh yeah, I will also post pictures tonight of what the oil level in the pan looks like with less than 5 full quarts in it (about 4.75-4.9 quarts). It only leaves roughly 1/4" to the top of the pan. Add in the 1/8" gasket and another quart, and I'm very glad I decided to tap the block

How much was the fuse? This looks identicle, but the 32volt (I think is just the MAX it can handle) is throwing me off: http://shop.sailnet.com/product_info.php/products_id/2545

It's just a 75A megafuse. Pretty cheap.

Just ordered the Fuse through Bill Jenkins along with the post style coolant sensor in the crossover pipe. Fuse was like $4.

OK, here are the pictures of the oil pan off the engine, leveled and then filled with just less than 5 quarts of oil (roughly 4.75-4.9qts.)
How this translates to oil level on the dipstick
Now for a teaser:

After mockup, the entire setup is going to be broken down and sent to the fabricator for welding. During that time, I will be installing the stock setup and will breakin the car/clutch N/A. When they get back from the fabricator, they are off to JetHot
