ExplodingGopher said:Oh and for the entire swap including every last part. My Summit Racing bill adds up to $3983.34, thats with tax. Also about $700 worth of ford racing parts but i work in a mustang shop so parts for me are at dealer cost. I just can't wait to get started on the more fun stuff, just gotta find a machine shop to get my crank balanced now for the SIR rods and KB pistons, damn it lol.

I had more problems with the ignition on my first efi to carb swap.
So the soltion is MSD everything.
It will make your life alot more simple.
Another thing is to just junk the gas tank and go fuel cell.
If it's a LX you can leave the tank to keep it from looking weired from behind.
I'm using a holley red pump with internal regulator.
trying to think of what else I ran across in the swap but nothing it coming to mind other than the above posted items.
oh yeah and be ready everytime you pop the hood for other mustang owners to explain how u did it and why.
I've killed quite a few FI cars and even caused a few of the owners to go carbed after seeing how well it preformed.
All the garbage about leave it as it is is just total BS were hot rod guys and this is what we do.
If we left everything the way it was there would be alot more guys on here with 4 cyl cars.
I have a older 86 notch in my shop now thats had all sorts of work done to it.
IE
87^ 1/4 glass
83 capri fenders
ect ect
I left the 4 eye bumper but still caught a cussing from a couple people.
My answer to them is. "Hand me your master card and we will do it just like you want." When my master card covers it it's how I want it.
Needless to say I caught hell over the 86 notch but I don't care. It was trashed when I got it and I alreay had these parts around.
I stoped this notchbacks trip to the crusher 10 mins before they hauled it off.
So had it not been for me the car would have already been a dog food can.
Do what makes YOU happy and have fun doing it. It's your car and your back that earned the money to do it.

They just look better also
