If the tires aren't bald. You're doing something wrong.Originally posted by gadget73 View PostDepends how you drive it. I'm betting it won't last long with him though
Drive like an old fart like I do and you can rock a 4 cyl T5 behind a V8 without any trouble.

It probably is, but we'll only know in August bud. I'm not really concerned about who is faster in this case because I know mine will stop :p Anywho. It's not faster right now, except maybe down a very steep incline... I'm glad you're happy with it, and I hope to see you and your awesome coupe at Scottfest!Originally posted by Bobcat View PostComment

Well yesterday I put the chip in that had the basic tune, so that it wouldn't hunt for idle anymore. Thank fucking god, that was aweful. I drove it one day like that and I was getting used to it stalling and just dumping the clutch again to get it started, even backing out of my driveway.
It's got a trip minder now, fuel gauge works but is a little wonky. Had my girlfriend with me in the car yesterday and it was the first time driving it without it being a bitch. Well, beat the shit out of the car for two hours and only used a quarter tank of gas. I'd say that's much more efficient than the 80 miles to 18 gallons I got when beating the shit out of it with the carb on it.
Suppose this is still only the begining and the car has a long way to go.
Aero rear, poly bushings, boxed arms and 3.73s with trac loc - next.
PS. No traction, fucking sucks.__________________________________________________

Cool. Fuel injection FTW. Are you still needing an instrument voltage regulator? John told me yours was dinked. I'm about 99% sure you can replace that with a simple fixed voltage regulator and get rid of that 1960s make/break intermittant contact shit that the stock one uses. Probably would make the fuel gauge more responsive and accurate too.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

Idle circuit is shitty, causes the car to buck a lot. It's because of my lumpy cam more or less. If you did a straight manual swap, you wouldn't have that issue.Originally posted by 87gtVIC View Post
oh and
18x9 in the front
18x10.5 in the rear.
Need .5 spacers in the front and .25 spacers in the rear. As well as tires with higher sidewall. But, they do look damn good. But these rubbers will cost much more to replace.__________________________________________________

They came off of an 03 Terminator Cobra. I believe the offset was +22mm and +24mm or something. Similar to bullitt rims.Originally posted by mitymerc View Post
But they're just much larger than bullitts.__________________________________________________

I did. It's not perfected by any means. I changed a few parameters so it would idle decently. A proper tune for fuel is going to require a wideband o2 sensor. But for now the car is driveable as is. And apparently it's not as much of a gas hog as I originally thought it would be...
What needs to be understood, is that this is not just a simple manual swap. This is a 5.0 computer controlling a modified 351w.Comment
