Front of the Engine

Cleaned all of the parts I bought this week for the front of the engine, and then test fit them.

Here is the right idler pulley in place:

The block nipple behind the water pump of the Teksid block does not fit the water pipe.  I need to figure out if I need to replace the nipple with one from an 03 Cobra block or if a water pipe from a 96-98 Cobra will work.  I also need to know what the pipe bolts to at the back of the engine.

I have no idea how these PCV hoses go together or how the PCV system works:

Crossover Pipe:

Here is the power steering reservoir bracket installed:

Here are a couple of pictures with the heads on:

Here are pictures with the valve covers on:

Here are two of the 03/04 Cobra intercooler pipes:

Received the 03 Cobra oil cooler to block adapter, 03 Cobra oil cooler and bolts that I ordered from the local Ford dealer to day.  I bought the adapter and oil cooler new so I would not have to worry about my oil system getting contaminated with metal shavings from another engine.  FYI, the oil cooler to block adapter is part number F8ZZ-6881-AA.  The gasket is F6AZ-6840-aa and the four bolts come as a package, part number N806156-S437.

Here is the oil cooler to block adapter test fit to the block:

FYI, the threaded hollow Allen shaft that holds the oil cooler to the adapter comes with the oil cooler, so you do not need to buy that if you buy a new oil cooler.  The 03 Cobra oil cooler is part number 2R3Z-6A642-AA.
