Collecting similar bits for my 64 as well.
( Crown Vic front, MarkVIII rear, 4.6 32V ) Just planning on a static drop, no air.
Will be pushing the Crown Vic front 1.5" forward so I plan on building my own engine mounts to keep the engine as close to the firewall as possible.
Can you post some photos of firewall to engine clearance?
From the looks of the intake you are using a 97/98 engine?
Ron Francis is the only one I've found that makes a stand alone harness for the 4.6 32V AND can reflash the ECM to delete the PATS and misc. emission codes.

drivers side, the IMRC controller is 1/2 inch from the firewall
passenger side
mount
I built my mounts on the mustang II crossmember crown vic style and used crown vic motor mounts. I also moved my axle centerline forward 1 inch. If you bolt it direct to the crown vic crossmember to me the motor sits low in the engine bay so I raised my motor and trans till the trans was just clearing the trans tunnel and built my motor mounts there. mine is a 97 motor but using a 98 cobra intake. I am using the complete Mark VIII harness, getting the most out of my donor car. I will be using the ignition switch, instrument cluster, shifter, radiator, condenser and fans with all the factory wiring and controls. should be fun

I think the truck is coming along very well.
The only thing that might make the modern gauges flow better with the old truck is change the rectangle opening.
If you curve the top two corners and maybe add a raised lip around the gauge opening, you would be golden.
Overall you are doing great.

This is nice...but it woulda been a hell of a lot easier and way cheaper to just use an '03 or later Crown Vic front crossmember and chassis. They're nearly a bolt-on and you can pick them up complete all day long for $300-$400. They already have the mod motor mounts and the whole nine yards.
Very neat project.

I have one but did not use it because of the width and extreme negative camber when lowered, they are great for non air ride trucks but you have wheel clearance problems with that width and turning when lowered. I will save it for another truck.
