1998 Mustang GT Coupe - It's here, so let the fun begin

Not much to update honestly. I drove it a little (maybe 1000 miles) and the battery started going dead while going down the road. While trying to troubleshoot that, the small coolant leak it had when I got it turned into a huge coolant leak. The intake is cracked, so I picked up all the stuff to do a full PI swap last week. I've been sick and the baby is rowdy (teething), so I haven't worked on it much yet. Once I get the PI swap done so that it won't spray coolant everywhere I'll start looking into the electrical problem again. Battery and alternator both check out OK. Battery terminals and all of the grounds look good. I'm afraid it might be the computer.
