My old '83 Stang is getting rather decrepit lately as far as body, interior, and suspension go. I have a '86 Turbocoupe (2.3L turbo / T5) that has a blown head...
The K members are different IIRC. With a donor car no big deal, unless the donor car K members isn't in good shape. As far as the fuel pump goes I think they...
That pickup you need you can get from 'Breeze Automotive' http://www.breezeautomotive.com/details.php?prod_id=300 I'm pretty sure the fuel tanks are the same....

... Thanks Sean! Yeah I figured out I couldn't use the EFI pump from other's posts. Besides - it runs at higher pressures etc. I suppose I could grab a fuel...
I could be wrong on the K member. It has been years since I played with a TC. I had an 88 I was going to do a 408 swap into but ended up moving cross country...
Do a search on a Tbird v8 swap. Should be a ton of info out there. Had
a buddy that did this some years back and don't remember him having much

I'm trying to sell my heads on craigslist. I listed them as off an 86 as there was some confusion on whether my motor was an 85 or 86. A guy emailed me and...
The heads on an 86 will have closed chambers. They will be very easy to notice. If they are not then you should be good to go. The problem with the 86...
Easy. Look under the intake runner ports on the head and you should see the part number castings. 1985 heads have an E5AE number while 1986 heads have an E6AE...

I've got MAC shorty headers, which are warped & rusting. I'm thinking of replacing them, any recommendations? I'm thinking of going with BBK equal length...
... I've never heard anyone complain about the BBK. The one piece flange won't warp like the MAC's. If you compare how the pipes' curve it sure looks like the...
The only pair of Macs I ever had were JUNK. Nothing is truer than you get what you pay for when it comes to Mac products. I have BBK's now and was a bit...
... the ceramic coating. Will they flow any better than MAC? I also looked at the Pypes, which are stainless steel. But those are unequal length. * They are...
I'm with Chris on the equal lengths. VERY minor gains and not worth all
the other hassles that comes along w/ that choice. My vote would be for
the FRPP...

OK, some more detail. The motor has 9.9:1 compression, Crane Cam PN 449601 (.563/.542), GT40 heads, Performer RPM intake, Quik Fuel 650 vs carb, true duals...
Duration is always the better number to give for cam specs. Lift is much
less important. Can get a good idea from the ET #'s and everything else
though....
Sean that would be a trick flow stage 2 cam.(I am surprised no one on the list has brought up the closing of Crane). That said That HP seems very low to me....
So something like 224/232 range? Numbers look spot on to me. My GT40P, Xcelerator intake, 650dp, Comp XE274 flat tappet put 275 to the tires (albiet with...

OK, I googled the pn and the specs that I found were 224/232. I know that they sometimes changed the specs for a specific pn, and could have done so on this....
You're not bad off w/ the extra lift. Most of the flow numbers I've seen on
the iron '40s (of course I dealt w/ mostly P heads) doesn't show them losing
flow....
