Looks good! Your battery mounting looks like it will work out well for your system. What air filter did you pick btw?

yepp got the battery stuff finished and im doing the headlight relay mod and a headlight flasher. they will be done soon. im going to be moving soon the offer was accepted now its waiting till every thing goes through once i move ill have a 20x40 garage to use or maybe its even bigger its at least double a 20x20 my buddy has lol
then there will be much more progress which will include 3g mod, front lift springs since noone wanted them and i dont feel like making fender flares now, some custom floor work, finish the turbo with an ic and water setup, coolant filter, single 5 inch stack with a flapper, new floor rubber roof contact cement and insulation sandwich, new rear bumper. then as i get the parts its getting a disc rear, 60 or hp44 front, 205 t case, hydroboost, an od unit if i find one cheap, and some other stuff to modd other stuff further lol like maybe a better pump for the turbo depends how it does first.
so shell get a lot of garage time but after that shell be back to dd duty as the contour is getting a 4.6 and rwd conversion cause i want a muscle car, hate not having power, and dont like the contour yet dont want to sell it or anything. so keep reminding me i should be settled in within a month.

anybody notice this in the first video as one of the comments?

Its an 86 442 with a 7.3L Ford International Diesel. Close to 600hp at the wheels in a completely gutted 86 Olds. It only weighs 1927 lbs with me in it and its mostly engine weight. Talk about an attention getter at the red lights
.
hmm 7.3 dindt come out until 87 wasnt a 442 but a 444 and realy claming 600hp just driving around?
atleast they got the internationl diesel in there:D

He means that he put a PSD in it. It wasn't done in the 80's. Wish he had some vids.
