Ok first off this isnt a mustang sorry! the guys on the t-bird forum are mad because i want to ditch the SC 3.8 but after blowing it up for the 2nd time and fighting never ending tuning/drivability issues im done with the motor and going carb v8! I found a good deal on a low mile 5.0 out of a 92 crown vic and am wanting to convert to carb car wieghs 4000lbs and has a AOD and 3.27 gears I would like somthing at least 250hp+ What all is involved in converting to a carb? obviosly i need a Intake manifold i was thinking of this
GT-40 heads
Edelbrock performer intake
edelbrock 600cfm carb
? cam
headers
vac advance distributor
duraspark ignition???
exhaust on the car will be re-used it consists of 2.5" downtubes to a Y 3.5" mid pipe past the tank to another Y and 2 2.5" tailpipes running into dynomax super turbos so im sure it will flow descent.
No smog here and its not a DD just sick of no reliability with the SC'd 3.8 and refuse to build ANOTHER one jesus i have a small fortune in it only made 275hp at the wheels and constantly had to tinker with it. crap drivability and idle! anyway any help with this would be appreceated.
