Why not use something like this. Make the whole thing much simpler and more accessible.

That looks like an Explorer 5.0L adapter. I might have one laying around and can take some measurements if it'll help you out.




Edit: According to google, the Ford Motorsport piece is the Explorer piece.

Didnt one also come on a van that you could snag at the junkyard.

Good to know, I can track something down as long as it fits.

I think the hoses would hit the pipes before I could bend them away. I could run some 90's coming out of the block adapter though. Something to consider.

The manifolds hug the block very closely so I need something narrow.

Its been so long but before theturboforums changed their name it might have been on a sticky i. The junkyark portion with a part #

I just came across a post from you on Vintage Mustangs while searching for reviews on SpeedHut gauges.
Still like them? I am thinking about ordering a set to put in my 69.

Here is the one off the Explorer. Sorry if the pics are big.

Alright now y'all, don't hate on me too much but after adding up all the parts I still need for this car it's a bit overwellming. I can very easily swap it all back to a carb set up just to get it running and driving. Am I popping shoot too soon? I'm running out of the wife's patients and every part I need seems to be $200.

Needs:

-8AN fittings
-8AN line
AN adapters
BOV
driveshaft
3.73's swapped to 3.27's
build exhaust system
TB cable
hoses, fittings and adapters
sump the tank (have sump)
plumb intercooler
sensors
header wrap
wire it
electric fans

And then:
body work
paint
rear seat narrowed
brake lines and rebuild rear brakes

That is the down fall but In the end efi benifits are worth it. I also hate carbs with a passion.

Keep in mind what efi you are going to run. Mine will have built in boost control, fan control, two steps, dataloggers etc.

If you add all that to a carb set up price really starts to equal out.

There is header wrap in the classifieds.

Well, I would just go back NA. I have everything to go back but an intake. I'd just stuff the long tubes back on it, fix the shit I cut off and roll. It would be a much shorter project.

That is my ad for the wrap.
I can save you some money there!

Well shit, someone buy my longtubes and take the temptation away!

Shorter project, yes, but what you REALLY desire, I dont think you desire to be roiling around NA. This just means you won't be happy and would have wished you would have kept on going. Just tough it out and do some side work for some extra income. Or get it running NA until you get all your turbo and efi parts ten tear the car apart and boost it.

I mean, you have the intercooler cutout in your bumper.

Just take your time and do what u really want to do or you will end up doing it twice costing more. If you get discouraged just throw a cover on it and wait it out till you get the itch to work on it again
