Hey All,
Is there a moderately easy way to add/upgrade my late model Explorer 5.0 in my 68 coupe to fuel injection? It is 1999-2000 Ford MotorSports crate motor that was originally for an Explorer. I bought it brand new in 2000 and it sat on a stand for 10 years until I installed it in 2010. It currently has:
Complete Explorer style short block with Hyperuetectic pistons
GT40"P" heads
B303 cam
1.7:1 ratio roller rockers, I also have a set of 1.6:1 on hand
Edelbrock Performer RPM intake
QuickFuel 580HR vacuum secondary carb
Tri-Y headers
T5
3.80:1 TracLoc rear
Full throttle operation is absolutely fantastic, but daily driver use/operation is much less than stellar, especially on hot (117+ degree) days in stop & go traffic with AC on. I've been led to believe that while these "P" heads flow great for full throttle carbureted use, they simply don't lend themselves well to carbed daily driving. Fuel mileage also really sucks! Does anyone know of a reasonably simple and easy way to utilize early nineties' Mustang fuel injection without spending big $$$ and having big headaches? I posted similar questions in the Classic forum, but I know that some of the guys here are have more expertise and experience in this field.
TIA,
gene
