So here's my updated:
Engine has been painted, I think it looks great though I didn't take it apart! Starting to reassemble it now and hopefully will get the tranny mounted to the engine today. I removed the ABS module, MC, and lines, and got the Non ABS MC and lines in yesterday. The clutch MC and petal are in there and In swapped over the manual brake petal too. Painted the engine bay black and probably did a few other things lol
Pics:
Under glow on the crash bar^
Before Paint:
After Paint: (colors: Black & Old Ford Blue)
Engine Bay & Etc (before)
After:
The old ABS stuff:

when you torque down the pressure plate, is it suppose to sit flush on the flywheel? i really need to know!
anyway, disregard the last post.
Well I got the engine all tied up, got the tranny on, and put all the wiring together. then did the vac lines as well. Then Dustin & Steph came over and we dropped the engine in. The hardest part was getting the rear mount in (at first). I had the Kirk Inserts on both the front and rear mounts, but we could just not get the rear one in with the inserts on. Dustin took them off, went under the bay, not even 30 seconds later the mount was in. Then, the rear bolt was a pain in the a$$ to get in as well. There wasn't much else after that, just hooked up all the lines and wires in the bay, and by that time it was already 11:30pm. I still have a lot more to finish up on the engine, but I'll have to leave it for Sunday since it's going to be raining tomorrow.
To Dustin & Steph, I thank you so much for helping me out with the whole engine install, I would not have been able to do it without you guys!

Yesterday, though it was Easter, I got a lot done with the help of my dad! We started off by looking over the engine and making sure everything was properly connected, and tightened a few things up. After that, we got both of the axles on which was pretty easy. The PS side hub was wiggly before the axle was on, but now that it's on a tight, it's perfectly fine. I'm still going to put my old hub back on once I get the axle off of it. After that, I connected the bracket for the exhaust near the rear mount and put the heat shield on. In the process of that, I painted my strut bar to match the engine and I think it will all look good once my car is all black again. I began to run the wires for the foglights and underglow bar in the front end. The interior is getting assmbled today and same as the exterior. The hardest thing I'm going to have to do is replace the ebrake cables and get the ebrakes adjusted right because I hate trying to do it.

good news, the engine started.
bad news, it smokes by the exhaust manifold (could just be the paint though) and it has a creaking noise coming from the back side of it...
edit: smoke is the fresh paint on it and the creaking sound was the power steering because I forgot to add more fluid after I started the car

here's the night time update:
so far, the car runs. there is a coolant leak from one of the lines off the waterneck piece or whatever it is.
second, my buddy drove the car down and up my driveway and said that the gas petal become limp after pushing down so far.
thirdly, none of my rear lights nor my side markers light up. the head lights and driving lights in the turns do, but nothing else. my rear flashers dont even work, probably a simple wiring problem though.
lastly, I'm just getting sick of problems.
oh yeah, and the rpms and speedo dont work.

first thing with electricity, check power and ground for all the cicuits. next check your protection(fuses), and then work your way to the rest of it. i hope you get it all to work out gl.

I'm at school right now, but I think I might have taken some of the fuses out of the fusebox that's in there now lol
when my car was still an auto, I needed some fuses for my fusebox and I believe I took them off the fusebox that was in the parts car, and that is now in my car now haha

well it wasn't the fuses, there was an interior wiring plug going to the rear that was hidden behind the main wiring panel on the driver's side, and guess what it was for, the rear lights! and the tach didn't work because the fuse was blown for it lmao
I fixed the coolant leak, just have to put a screw clamp on one hose (for safety) and that'll be that. The lower rad hose start leaking today so I bought a new one and some clamps and it is fine now. Just have to assemble the interior and get the harness bar and seats in tomorrow, finish up some wiring, and that should be it for now
and i went for a nice long drive today, and i love driving stick shift! oh yeah, and a big bird to everyone who said the stage 2 was "too much" for a stock engine and a beginner! Drove it fine and didn't stall once.

well i got an oil change and i guess my engine is leaking oil prettyy bad near the timing belt. Any one have a guess as to what it could be? I'm thinking the oil pump.. 
i had the same problem whit my 5sfe
i changed my cover valve,
pull out the timing belt
change the seal behind timing belt
and the leak was the same
might be the seal of oil pump
if u clean the leak, and start ur car, u will see where the leak comes from, u need to took out the plastic inmside the front wheel passenger to see the oil pan and u will see the leak come from back there
Oil pump seal, they become loose in the housing and leak around the outside of the seal. Fit the new seal with Loctite or similar, requires removing timg belt cover and loosening the timing belt.

Yuppp, that's the exact spot it's coming from. I'll do it after I get out of school (in a month).
How much does it cost for a seal (or new oil pump)?

Actually, I'm not leaking any oil (maybe just a tad, but barely anything). After I went out today and came back, my dad showed me some fluid that was leaking on the ground. At first he thought it was oil, and so did I, but after I put some on my finger and took some power steering fluid out of the bottle, I found out what the leak was. Power Steering fluid. I'm glad it's not oil lmao that would be horrrrriibbbbllleeeee! I think I just need a new crush washer on the pump. No biggy though.
All old cars have oil leaks, just a matter of topping up more often, that leak in the pictures looks awfully familiar haha.
yeahh i know haha it stinks, but you have to deal with it. Only for 4 years though cause she's getting taken off the road after college
well, I have to say goodbye to my car for now, but she will be in the good hands of Manny (Pressure2) and his fellow employees at Maaco! WOO!
Nice. 
Lucky man.

ehh, not so much. I can't afford a $1400 paint job right now, especially not before college.

Does that mean the paint job didn't happen
