The completed false floor build now that I got the new Mosconi stickers in so the amp badges face the right way. 302A3347-5200-4C61-9786-C1513A69B555.jpeg

The Police Interceptor version has IIRC a 260 amp alternator stock.

I assume he means look into getting an alternator from a 2020 Explorer Police Interceptor Unit (PIU). This alternator may have a higher electrical output to run all the accessory crap that a PIU has.

I was focused on the audio and forgot I had this Racing Brake 15” rear rotor upgrade sitting on a shelf for the last 2 months. So those are installed now. lol A6AB571B-CDED-412E-8520-426301D1B4E7.jpeg

Also got in my matching distro blocks. These were backordered when I did the audio so I used what I could get at the time. 24967F92-9FA9-4C93-9CFF-36CEFACAB610.jpeg

Very little difference with a regular tire. Run flats are always firmer but I don’t have a spare so I made the change.

ECM cover prototype #1 test fit. Gonna change a few measurements tomorrow and make #2.
No screws or bolts, attaches using the oem push pins for the wiring harness on both sides.
I drew this up months ago and forgot about it until I stumbled across the file on my laptop today. Needs a few adjustments…should have the final version done tomorrow at lunch. B63AEB99-8279-468D-8A8D-5EB07E4D8078.jpeg 82DB1BF3-EB24-48A0-99A5-4A5A762818B8.jpeg

Heat buildup a risk? How about stamping some louvers on it?

Not at all. There’s still plenty of room under it for the extremely minimal airflow under the hood as it is. My IR gun shows everything metal under the hood at the same temp after an hour or so of driving…it’s not like it’s cooler than the things around it.

Good to know, just a little heat paranoia going on here.cheers

Just joined and within 10 minutes looking for builds I stumbled onto yours. Thing looks dope. And thank you for removing those god awful looking front brakes. Do you have pics of the updated rear brakes?

Made the final mock-up ECM cover…I’ll paint it someday along with a few other fabricated pieces under the hood. 7664A845-2988-406F-8590-91EA8A5B581E.jpeg 38268F17-4156-4395-9335-F82CA677710C.jpeg

The front links took too much extra work for me to recommend a PN...it wasn’t a straight bolt on. The rear PN is this one View attachment 2157 .
Glad I saw this before I get the Steeda bar installed. Thanks !!
