Taylor Cable 8.2mm ThunderVolt wires ordered (in blue of course!), along with Bosch Double Iridium plugs, transmission oil filter kit, engine mounts and transmission mounts. Just need valve cover gaskets, oil pan gasket, high torque starter, motor oil/filter, ATF, and she’s good!

I'd also change any sensors that are easy to get to while the motor is out.

I’ll look and see which ones those may be. We may run into an issue with running the fuel lines, because the way they terminate into the engine is different on the 454 than 350

the pedal out of a hydroboost truck you may have to get from a junkyard out of a 2500/3500 truck or van.

Which model years should I be looking for? Looking at the RV pedal, I don’t think it’s going to work.

Gonna have a little fun with the valve covers! Maybe some other things in the engine bay. Don’t mind all the cat food haha. Went to buy one bag, found that some dog in the store pissed all over then, so they offered us $7 off plus an additional 25% off. They’re set for a while haha

Exhaust is off, driveshafts out, transmission is out, most of the engine is unbolted. Almost ready to pull!
