Nothing as of yet, I have finished EVERYTHING on the truck, unfortunately the GT500 engine harness was busted and I am searching for a new Harness over here and I am having a hard time finding one.

Not sure if this harness will fit my engine since I have a 2007 engine and this harness is for a 2010-2012

I know the difference on them is the Knock sensors as the 07-08 came without them.

True, I already ordered that harness right after I posted will add the knock sensor and if things went bad I could just switch the sensors off throught the SCT advantage.

Thats an option too. Not gonna hurt anything to have an extra sensor in there monitoring things.

Hey guys,

Been a long time since my last post and I just wanted to let you now that I have been away for around a month and the progress is VERY slow but going there..

Harness arrived, Hooked up and guess what ?

She's alive.

Currently the steps left are

*)cleaning up the wiring mess and making it pretty
*)hooking up custom radiator hoses and using old Mustang reservoirs tanks ( temporary as the budget is almost low and Might custom build my own reservoirs in the future )
*)Hooking up AC lines and getting rid of the Heater as we really don't need it over here.
*) Rpm is hooked and working well but I Need to hook up the speedo on my TR6060.. any help is appreciated.
*)installing the driveshaft and custom making shaft loops


Once all that is done, I will be driving it for a while to shake out the issues if there were any. I will also have a Lightning front bumper lower the truck and swap the ugly wheels out.

Yes sir that is an exhaust leak which is because there were no gaskets on the manifolds due to them not being available in stock at that time.
