Who here has an EFI 351w variant in their Fox?
I have not lifted a finger on my 87 GT since I put the gas tank in it.
It runs, but it's a bit rough and smokes.
I am thinking of my options, when I finally do something with the engine, and I have 2 options.
I want to do something fairly simple, mild, and with budget in mind.
I have the stock 5.0 in the car that I could just pull out and 'refresh', and throw on some simple bolt-ons that I have laying around. Maybe even as far as a set of D0 351 heads I have ported out.
Or... I have a 97 5.8 roller out of an F350 that needs rebuilt.
This is a bit more expensive though.
I have to come up with an oil pan, distributor, intake, and specialty headers.
(Oh, and an A/C bracket because I want to keep the car a nice driver and relatively stock appearing.)
Might be worth it though.
What do you think?
I'd love to see examples of similar swaps.
Another concern, I'd have to swap to MAF without question with the 351.
With the 302, I could probably skirt the MAF issue for a while, but want to do it sooner or later.
