Thanks wyt! And I'm glad to hear that. Hopefully all goes well with no surprises.
Congrats man. Do all the maintenance you can with the lump out, so easy when it's just sitting there! May I also recommend checking the condition of the threads where the intermediate shaft bolts on, they love to strip.

Unless you have a reason to touch the intermediate shaft I'd leave it alone. If you do find the threads stripped no probs. 7/16th is the next size up and it's a 20 min fix to drill and tap.

I know you believe that you understand what you think I said but I'm sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

This is really good, but I never seen a ZE from a FORD.,,,,, mayb it was preswapped b4???? Looks like a millenia ZE with EGR system. I hope it was preswapped for a FORD
