this might be a dumb question but will this combination work well together? sorry for the newbe question. if it will about how much of a gain will i be lookin at after a dyno tune? and would i need any other parts to finish the swap or is everything there that i would need?

Don't worry. My e-dyno is 100% accurate and it tells me that your car is putting down exactly 0hp and 0lb/ft of tq right now. But that's rear wheel figures, so figure about 15-20% higher than that at the flywheel

+1 on the broken link

What was the part that you tried to give us a link to at Modular Powerhouse ? I seen the kit you referenced in the above link at Parkway Ford in Ga. was for the PI headswap.

Since you have the Accufab Plenum/tb combo, you can keep that, and re-use it with the PI intake. Just sell the new PI upper intake elbow and OEM throttle body that comes with the PI headswap kit to get some of your money back. Just a suggestion.

The PI upper intake elbow and OEM throttle body doesn't come with the headswap kit. You reuse what you have.

I'd guess the broken link would be cams.

Headswap alone will make your car a different machine. Cams will help even more. If you don't have gears, you must get them (even before cams).

Thanks for the correction. I didn't notice if the kit came with the upper intake and throttle body or not.

If the other link is to a set of cams, then it would probably be a good idea to let us know what cams they are.

Something to take into consideration is if you purchase the headswap kit, you might want to send the heads off to a machine shop to get some oversized valves with a matching valve job put into the heads, along with a set of competition valve springs, as the OEM valve springs will not hold up to the abuse that aftermarket cams will put on them. Port matching the cylinder head ports might not be a bad idea either.

As others have said, can't open the first link but the parkway kit is very good, great people to deal with and it comes complete including sparkplugs. All you need to do is tap the aluminum crossover for the second temp sensor.

or use a T fitting

T-fitting Tom

DO you have to get a new dip stick tube or can you reuse the original.

Gearbanger 101 · Dec 30, 2005

Only if your NPI engine is a Windsor. If it's a Romeo, the existing tube should be fine, as far as I remember.

The T-fitting will work as long as your car isn't very fast. Once you start getting down into the high 14's in the 1/4, the T-fitting will no longer work as the acceleration creates water bubbles in the T and your car will stop. Some of the slower Stangs however will run for years with no problems

That's why Tom never complained about it.

Oh ya that's right, I forgot Tom used the T-fitting
