Adjustable fuel pressure regulator?

[freakintiger]

Just got a '93 2.3 N/A conv. about a month ago. Starting to mod it. Got my MSD wires, looking for a Ranger header, MSD coil packs next paycheck, gonna make Jmans CAI I saw linked on one of your threads(thanks guys!) and Accel 17lb/hr injectors, and gotta get a Ranger roller cam setup. But what about fuel pressure regs, my 2 previous Crown Vics had a similiar looking unit to what is on my car, so will a 5.0 FPR work, like an Aeromotive or BBK? Also does the aftermarket offer a good roller cam set for the 2.3 N/A? Thanks for the great info, I've been scanning it after work for the past few days!

kirban, bbk, or aeromotive...

Thanks kaOtyk, are there any other 5.0 items that crossover to the 2.3l ?(ignore my other thread I had a problem with Internet Explorer thought first didnt go thru)

as far as performance goes... I would port the head like crazy before I stick a cam in it. theres loads of power to be had in the D-port head... and it wouldnt hurt to have it milled to raise the compression up as well... figure some larger valves and a valve job, mill the head, a roller cam such as a ranger (stock grind) lunati, racerwalsh, or esslinger cam, fresh springs and valve seals, and then you should be good to go top end wise to a turbo or maybe even a safe 50-75 shot on there...

I've read a book on portwork published in england in the 70s dealing with iron head MGBs etc, do you know of any newer books on the subject? Always wanted to wield a die grinder. Would a beefed up head/valvetrain hang with a 140,000 mile bottom end, I have always figured inline motors are stronger (ford L6!)...

I would hold off on the regulator and the coils if your Ford ones are working.
The dual spark DIS is a wonderful system as it is, just add good plugs and wires.

As ka0tyk mentioned, get some air flow happening, with a cam too if you like.
These Fords run pig rich after 3 grand anyway.
Power is leaner, not richer
