It is frustrating to have these setbacks, i am waiting for the parts to be machined and dont think that i need any additional parts other than a few things for the oil catch can system.
Best of luck w your V8 convertion o toyed wit putting one of the new mustang V6 motors and 6 speed transmission but did not want to be the first, really like that motor.
Good luck to you

Yeah, the V6 would be fun, great drivetrain. I just happened to have a 5.0/T5 laying around.

Best of luck with yours
