Help me figure out what these mods supported.

I just bought a used, '88 5.0 conversion (former 4cyl). I'm picking up the car tomorrow.

Here's the mod list, as advertised....

1988 ford mustang convertible.5.0 engine GT-40 intake 24lbs injectors 1.72 cobra roller rockers.Cold Air Intake 73mm mass air-flow sensor.65mm throttle body.Ford motorsport stainless shorty headers.High-flow catalytic converters, adjustable fuel pressure regulator.Underdrive pulleys.5 speed borg warner transmission ford motorsport clutch. 4.10:1 gears with aburn carrier.

It also has a manual fuel cut-off switch under the dash.

The fuel items have me thinking this thing may have had a supercharger at some point in time. What do you guys think?

My guess is that the previous owner was buying better (bigger) parts for mods that he planned on doing in the future and then either lost interest or money.

The 24lb injectors aren't big enough for a good blower and my guess is he planned on running bigger heads on the car when money permitted him to do so.

An adjustable pressure regulator is standard stuff to buy, especially when putting a little bit larger injectors in.

The "manual fuel cutoff switch" is so someone can't steal the car without knowing where the switch is located.

Plus there is no indication that the car received a larger fuel pump to accomodate the higher fuel demands of a charger.
I don't think this car ever had a blower and if it runs and drives real nice, what difference does it make.

Good Luck

I was just wondering. Thanks!
And yes indeed, I'm glad it came with bolt-ons, it saved me a good deal of money- I can just jump to heads and cam now.

With 4.10's in the back my crystal ball says it definitely didn't support a blower.......

Thanks again.
BTW, what cc Chamber are you using on those Twisted Wedge heads for your blower application?
