tim si Posted September 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 Ive never been very good at guessing #s.I took it to a dyno on the old setup and never got a full pull because of a misfire problem.maybe next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOHO Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 How is the a/c and other functions since the swap? Cold....and everything works on this thing. Tim did a great job. If he gets his tuning down I think with this setup its going to be around 430 whp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim si Posted September 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 Ya thats prob.about right at 10 psi.It dynoed 379 at 3900 rpm then would misfire.Everything on the car works just as it did stock except cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Burgandy Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 as far as your engine harness and the rest of your wireharness what did you do? im trying to decide on a efi or carb'd 302. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOOSTED88tsi Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 go efi! carbs are for muscle cars! Sorry for the thread jack but your car is sick tim! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Burgandy Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 (edited) True but carb are soooooooooooooooooo simple and easier. No wiring and injectors and sensors to worry about if this or that is wrong and no electrical codes to play with if something is wrong. I'm no electrical genius Haha. So I'm trying to get as much info as I can before I pick a route and stick.with it. I haven't read through your entire thread so I'm not sure if you have covered this or not. If so I will find out soon and I almost also looking through older 5.0 swaps on this forum to see how they all workout so I will ne better knowledged when I get parts and start doing work.

tim si Posted September 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 Well you should probably go with what youre most comfortable with.Theres nothing wrong with a good carb.If you go efi,youd be better off going with an aftermarket harness from Ford Racing Performance and be done with it.Its been simplified with all the extra stuff taken out.I had to peel through my harness and eliminate all kinds of wires that i wasnt useing.I spent several weeks looking at wiring diagrams and stripping wires.You probably dont have to do it but it makes things alot nicer.I finally swapped to the FAST ecu and wiring but havent worked out all the bugs yet.

button Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 Good luck working out the bugs in the F.A.S.T. system.Did you buy it new or used? I've been involved in several "used" installs and ultimately, they go this route:http://www.diyautotune.com/catalog/package-deals-ford50-c-53_57.htmlDIY kit, Installer kit, or Plug'N'Play. your car has the hotness going on. I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim si Posted September 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 You're not the only one to tell me that.I bought mine new,not really any bugs.Just gotta get the tune cleaned up.Their product support sucks.In the end,im happy with it.I just need to clean everything up.But yes the Megasquirt would have done everything i needed..

sleeper tsi Posted April 8, 2012 Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 Tim. My 302 swap is nearing putting the engine and tranny in but i'm havn trouble tryin to decide what the best way to go with the drive shaft is:( i saw ur post about doin it a couple diff ways. What would be the best way to go about it i bout a new mustang tailshaft yolk and u joint but trying to figure out wether i should just hav it mated to the quest shaft or? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim si Posted April 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 Well its really going to depend on how much power you plan on making.theres nothing wrong with the factory shaft but it uses smaller u-joints.Im sure itll still have to be shortened.What kinda #s are you looking for?

sleeper tsi Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 (edited) I'm gunna drift it mostly but i will hit the track with my setup i'm thinkin it'll prolly only be mid 12's i hope. I'd idealy like to use the factory shaft and just change the u joint but it'll prolly hav to be modified.

tim si Posted April 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 if you plan to run 12s id build a new shaft.mine broke on the second pass with brand new u-joints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
