Well, I found an old town car with an EFI 5.0 in it that looks to be in pretty good shape still. I'll probably talk with the owner of the junk yard about selling it to me, and see where it goes from there.

Well, I talked to the owner today, and he told me $350 and I can have all of it. He said he'll even tow it over to my house at no extra charge. No tranny in it though. My friend and I will see if we can get the motor running before I decide to buy it.Comment

I plan on an engine swap with the Town Car if not just the intake and such, maybe I'll be able to get some other nice things to fit the car too, like that awesome thermometer mirror. I'm just wondering where to stick both cars if I go through with it. There was only one Explorer and it had a V6 in it, and none of the Mustangs or Capris there had the EFI.Originally posted by Leo View Post
Yup, everything that's on it.Originally posted by hemihotrod402 View PostComment

If there is no transmission at all in the car, you're not going to be able to test fire it. The starter bolts to the transmission.
For what its worth, I'd be looking for a Mark VII to swap the motor from. HO powered, so you get another 70 hp instead of an extra 5. Ratty Marks with dead suspension are usually easy to find. Everyone gets scared of the air suspension, or the wierdo brake system and lets them go for cheap.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

That sucks... my friend figured that out soon after I read this too. But he's moved now, so I have nothing to pull any engines anyway, or a place to store a car. I figure I'll keep the CFI for now, and work on other things.Originally posted by gadget73 View PostComment
