    EEC pin #30 question....

    that was informative but too specific for me.....:( this is an automatic computer (L1C) being used on a manual transmission truck. i dont need a clutch pedal switch in it. i just want to hit the key regardless of if i have the clutch pedal pressed in or not, and have it start. so, do i leave...

    Best O.E. 5.0 swap heads, headers & x pipe ????

    i agree with v8only....the gt40 variants of the explorer engines are becoming more and more common in the junkyards. it doesnt take a genius to realize that its a better flowing unit. while youre at it, get the heads too. i have gt40's on mine, never run the P's yet, but i dont think theres...

    EEC pin #30 question....

    one last question on wiring the 91 cougar 5.0 HO engine into my ranger.....pin 30 from the EEC goes to the ignition switch/nuetral safety switch. my problem is that this is not an automatic I am putting this into, so.....i am lost on what to do with this, as i also dont have a clutch safety...

    E7TE Ported or GT40 OR GT40P

    my carbed gt40 explorer motor with nothing more than a TFS stage 1 roller cam and new valve springs is pretty nasty. gt40 explorer motors are getting pretty common in junkyards so you can look around and find a set for not much more than a set of E7's, so go for it.

    auto/manual eec-iv interchange ?

    I cant remember which way it works.....can you use an automatic-intended eec-iv computer on a stick shift application or not? I thought i better check before wiring the L1C 91 cougar HO 5.0 automatic computer into my HO 5.0 stick shift ranger. If it will work, do I need to wire in anything more...

    egr question

    its an 87 ranger and was a factory 2.3 efi 2wd auto. i built it as a 5.0 t-18 4 speed 4wd. it was factory efi, but i removed all the factory underhood harness when i learned the 5.0 86 efi intake wouldnt fit and ran a duraspark setup and a 4bbl. i rarely drive the truck anyway and its...

    egr question

    thanks 347. any other inputs from others who may have deleted the egr? the reason for me injecting the truck is fuel mileage primarily. its an 86 injected engine anyway, i just put a 4 barrel on it when i built it years ago because the 86 EFI intake wouldnt clear the heater box, but the 91...

    egr question

    i am wiring a 91 cougar HO motor (looks identical to the 94-95 mustang intake)into my ranger 4x4 and am wondering about the EGR. some guys use them when doing swaps, others dont. what are the pro's and con's of both ways? other than notching my heater box yet again for clearing something else...

    CATS OR NO CATS

    i ran an off-road one for a while. the car sees maybe 500 miles a year. my conscience got me and i just put some catco universal 2.5" converters from summitt ($54 each, rated for up to 5.9 liter engines) on my h-pipe. the car feels NO different to me and is still loud as hell. only difference is...

    Intake from a 91 F-150 5.0

    the truck intake IS gonna be slightly better for torque. but i imagine the power difference you noticed was more in gearing than anything else. your t-bird i likely a 3.08 or so on the gears and the truck is likely 3.55 or so. you want similar performance, try a gear swap first. if you still...

    To anyone who has 3.73s

    if your gears have a slight whine, its because they werent set up 100% correct, not because they werent ford motorsport gears. they all set up the same. just because you took out an oem set and put an FRPP set in doesnt necessarily make it a drop in, they all have to have the shims checked...

    Tranny Q's and other help please

    dont waste the money on a t5 rebuild. sell it to someone as a rebuildable core for $100, and put the $1200+ you were gonna spend on the rebuild towards buying a new tremec. i shopped around and got my TKO new a few years ago for $1400. others were listing them as high as $1800. I see they are...

    Brake Problems

    the bleeder should, obviously, be at the highest point in the calipers cylinder. i just did an 87 upgrade to my 86 for better brakes, and there was not a way to put the caliper on the wrong side, the hose would not allow it. you likely still have air trapped somewhere. this happened to me years...

    bushing kits for rearend....

    heat them with a torch. get the inner sleeve hot until it starts smoking good, then push it out. then heat the outer shell til it starts smoking, then push it out. super easy that way. wear rubber gloves, the rubber gets super gooey. dont take the outer shells out if you are planning on using...
