I realize that this is not a very easy to do swap, but I would like the input of anyone experienced with this sort of thing.
I want to do it. A friend of mine has a carbed 351w in a 1999 V6 shell, so I know it's possible (was a running, driving V6).
I want to do a Fuel Injected Swap. I realize that there are going to be a lot of differences in electronics and fuel systems. I can get a full 1989 Wiring harness and an A9L ecu. Swap Headers. So, I think I have everything I will need there. I also understand that the power windows, locks, and seats will still work without the EECV ECU.
I will need the K-member out of a 5.0 car, the motor mounts out of one as well. I have a Kaenen 4" Cowl hood, so that is taken care of. I will also need a clutch cable, and a throttle cable. I think I have everything or know of everything I need to make the front end part work. From the ECU to the A/C.
Now, I know I will also need a T-5 style transmission, I have a Bell Housing from a 5.0 already, so I only need the gearbox there. I assume a driveshaft from a 1994-1995 GT will suffice also.
My biggest issue is fuel system. How will I make that work? Can I use my stock fuel pump? Do I need to get a system from a 1994-1995 and swap the entire thing out? I am completely lost there? I appreciate any experienced, or knowledgeable input, as I have searched for a few weeks and really not found any satisfactory answers.
If anyone knows of anything on the front end that I may have missed, please let me know. I really want to make this happen early spring, as I can get most major parts on notice.
As of now, the engine is a 351w out of a 1994 F150, with all accessories. Firing order should be the same as a 5.0 from a 1988-1995 Mustang.
Thanks for any help anyone can provide, and I know this is going to be difficult, I need support, not criticism.
