I failed to mention earlier that Landshark was an integral part of the install crew. My humble apologies for my omission.
Here are some pics as promised!

I also found I made a grave error with the placement of the drivers side O2 sensor. It sits above the front drive shaft about 3/8" which means it would be taken out on the first bump. The remedy is to pull the header, cut out the O2 bung and patch it then re-drill and re-weld it back in. It appears it will cost me another day I don't have.

Why long tube headers instead of shorties?

use a pipe plug on the exhaust pipe, cut a new hole and don't pull the pipe... thats what they did on my exhaust.. not leaks so I would assume it would be ok?

Was going to say the same thing as Landshark - saves time, money, headache, and back on track.

Looking good! Especially the dude wearing the V8 hat.
I also looked at the serp set-up and thought something didnt look right compared to mine but since "It's just your truck" I let it go. Here's the common pic I use minus the AC.

Looking great! You're making good progress.
Why do ya have to re-wire the OBD2 port? Did you need to cut it or de-pin it it to get it through the firewall?

Poor choice of words on my part. I just need to hook up the wires under the dash. Everything is/was very easy to install. Your wire lengths are perfect!

The exhaust shop I'm using is pretty close to the breakfast. I may show up if all goes well. Fingers are crossed!

Got the new engine fired up tonight. I need to work out some bugs. My JY fuel pump is barely putting out enough pressure to keep it at idle. When it does have enough fuel pressure it sounds great! I have to clean up the wiring and get the exhaust but it is getting there.
A special thanks to both EFI Guy and Viperwolf1 for their tech support!

WOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! My Bronco sense was tingling just about that time. But it was just gas. I've got another JY pump if you want to give it a go. I hope it's not a bad filter or the crap I put in the fuel lines.
