05+ swap coming along nicely!
After sitting for three years I decided to give her a quick buff too.
Cleans up nice for original 261k mi paint!
Still and always so much to do before it’s back on the road...
Maybe later this year.
Big thanks to @7.3powerstroke00 for all the work he is doing.
If you’re near Brownwood, TX. Jakes the man to go see at Strokin’ Diesel.

Man that’s looking good! I’m a sucker for black, and those are by far my favorite factory wheel.

Thank you!
These wheels were definitely my first pick as well.
Found them on FB marketplace for $200 and had the coating removed and wheels polished for another $100.
I couldn’t pass it up.

Now just to put this back together and stuff it in

What’s up with your ccv ?

There isn’t one yet.
Trying to find a big enough weld in bung or something of the sort

Are you running one? If so how do you like yours? Does it leave oil drips or anything on the valve cover?

 

[gnxtc2]

No not running one. Still using the stock breather.

I could tell you that I was running a Precision 76 (GT-42) ball bearing, billet wheel turbo on my race car. Went 8.19 @ 165 (1/4 mile) and 5.17 @ 138 (1/8 mile) weighing at 3250 if that means anything to you.

I saw this on face space. Not sure if it’ll fit with the t4, but it looked interesting.

I wish I had some room, but with the 5” intake coming over the valve cover there is no space on that side.
I just may try the route that gnxtc put up.

 

[Garbage_Mechanic]

I didn’t like the fight between the ccv filter box on top the valve cover and the intake tube, so I put the valve covers on backwards and fabbed an oil filler through the HPOP gear cover like an old 6.9.
Experience tells me not to give up the baffling and oil carryover control built into the stock set up.
