I have had a 302 (from '98 Mountaineer) built (Performance Specialties in Fultondale, AL) to put in my "mini trophy truck" build. It is full of parts from Lunati and dyno'ed 380hp. It's no record setter, but should be plenty of power for a fun daily driver.



Here's a shot of the truck:




The engine is mounted and mated to a T5. Radiator is mounted along with the headers. I also have, what I believe, is most of the parts to make it run, but I'm a web designer, not a engine mechanic. I need someone who is knowledgeable with EFI to make it run. I have an A9P computer, which I believe is not the best option (versus A9L), but I've read that it shouldn't matter once it has been tuned.

The only major component missing is a wiring harness. I'll probably go with Painless or something similar, but I wanted to make sure that's what I needed before purchasing it.

Obviously, this is a paying gig. If you know anyone in the area, please let me know.


thanks,
-brit

I am no super smart wiring expert, but painless does make a nice harness for just this setup. I actually live in fultondale, al. Oh and you have the tb about 90 degrees out of rotation to the right. The throttle linkage should be on the bottom and the the throttle cable mounts on the egr spacer should also point downwards. If you cant find anybody locally to help you out, shoot me a pm and I am sure I wont have a problem getting your truck up and going.
