Roush Any interest in a 96-99 S-351 electronics update

[S351R"Animal"]

Anyone in the market for the complete electronics conversion used on the 96-99 S-351. I have the computer, wiring, sensors,and other parts necessary. It won't be cheap but, not nearly as expensive as it was from Saleen. I have enough parts for two systems.

nice

I don't think I could afford it now, but yeah very interesting none the less. I have a 5.0 right now and want to eventually throw in a 351. But yeah very nice. Would a stock computer that is re-flashed work as well? Just curious. I am sure this set up would be very valuable to someone.

The setup he's offerering is for a 96 and up car.
Putting a pushrod engine in a modular car and keeping it emissions legal is what the parts he's selling are for.
Since you have a 5.0, you likely have a 94/95 car, which you can modify like any other 5.0 mustang.

If you install a healthy 351w you wil need to have your stock computer reflashed.

OH

Well I thought any 351 motor is a pushrod no matter what year the stang. If a 98 is a 351, it is a pushrod and not a modular. I guess the next question is whether or not the 96-98's got a different computer than their modular computers. My guess is that they would, but what do I know maybe you can reflash a 96 computer to handle a pushrod set up. So pushrod and modular computers are interchangeable with reflashes?

96-99 computers have to be OBD II compatible. Problem is the modular computers don't use a distributor while a pushrod motor does. You have to have a special computer to make this pushrod combo work in any car that has to be OBD II. Its not a reflash like what a 94-95 car would need to run a 351w. Thats a pushrod to pushrod swap. When you go from a distributorles to a distributor swap things get tricky. There is a option where you can take a 302 and swap to a distibutorless system (aka..96-99 Explorer). With some engineering you could possible make a modular system work on a pushrod motor but, the average or even experienced tuner would have a very tough time doing so. The conversion is expensive because it takes alot of work to build the system (and get it right). The parts are also pretty scarce.

computer

My guess would be that the 96-98 351's don't use the stock modular computer and wiring harness. That would be my guess. They probably swapped them.

They use a harness from another application that has been modified pretty heavily.
