New JBL Cobra Daytona Coupe Street Version Build

[Clois Harlan]

You can see above my Master Cylinders I have installed my fuel regulator, all my radiator hoses have been installed as well as all my AC lines have been routed and my AC Dryer has been located (none of my AC hoses have been crimped yet but for now they are where they belong)

[Clois Harlan]

My gauges have all been located and the wires have been grouped accordingly. All I need to do now before I start the engine is re-install all my dash components, wire in my battery and the shut off switch and steering column. Then later this week or weekend I will go to O'Reilys' and rent one of their engine priming tools (I understand there is a $180 deposit) that you remove your oil sending unit and screw in the primer canister attach an air hose and inject about a quart of oil into your engine). I am told this is the only way to prime a Coyote before first start up plus it is suggested by Ford in their start up proceedures and it keeps your warrenty in tact.

So on to the final stages of the mechanical portion of this build :

For anyone interested in what fluids I have installed here you go:

1. 8 Quarts of Ford Motorcraft Blended synthetic 5W20

2. 3 plust gallons of Orange Peek Antifreeze Full strength mixed 50/50 with distilled water

3. 2.7 QTS of Amsoil MTG Transmission Fluid (I am running a 6 speed Ford M82 Transmission with modified center mounted shifter).

4: Proeston DOT 3 brake fluid in My Clutch

5. Wilwood 600 degree brake fluid for my brakes.

Hopefully the initial start will happen within the next week or so (depending on work schedule and honey do request.
