Engine swap!

[79'293stang]

I finished this over a week ago but heres a nice photo progress thread on my engine swap. Overall it took me about 5 days to complete. Old engine was a stock 94 Mustang H.O. 5.0. New engine sports 3 bar GT40 heads, GT40 lower intake, Ford Motorsports SVO upper intake, FMS F cam installed straight up, Summit shorty headers, offroad H pipe, SLP catback, and I deleted the EGR and smog equipment. Sorry about the video at the end, I need to edit it but my software is not working.

Just starting, stock engine.

Awesome man! Pretty quick swap too. I think mine will have taken about the same amount of total time, but I had an extra set of hands helping me out. I can only hope mine starts up like yours

Thanks. The wifey had me on a fairly strict budget on this build so there were a few parts I wish could have been better, such as my headers, and a better cam but I am pleased with the results. Everything used on this build I have collected slowly over the last year basically just buying stuff on the cheap off of guys who didnt need whatever particular part or got in over their head on a build. Downfall of having a kid, going to school, work and saving for a house all at the same time.

Nice job on the swap! Not a huge fan of the SLP exhaust if I'm being honest but to each his own. Sounds healthy though and I'm sure it will scream when you get on it!

 

[79'293stang]

I liked the SLP exhaust with the stock H pipe, but with the offroad H pipe and the new engine it has been driving me crazy. A different set of mufflers may be in the near future.

that cam will hold up to any combo you throw at it. f-cam is not a bad choice

Great job!

And trust me, I know this exactly! I got two kids and work. Money has it's priorities. The car gets second place

What did you do for EGR and AIR pump delete?
How about the vacuum solenoids under the passenger fender?

Did you just use a resistor and short belt, or did you do reprogramming and idler pulley?

 

[79'293stang]

I ran a short belt and plugged the vacuum lines into each other for the smog equipment. For the EGR I went with a method that I have used successfully in the past which was to use a pennies to block the passageway from the header and on the egr valve, then plugged everything in like normal. No CEL.
