Hello--
I need some advice on a soon-to-be project. I have an '86 TC, 147k miles on the clock. Someone at my work told me he has a freshly machined 351w that he is willing to give to me (not sure if its a roller or flat tappet). I haven't seen it yet, nor do I know what all its coming with it. Regardless, I was wondering if this has done before by someone on this forum. I have never worked with a 351w, nor do I know what combo of parts I should use. I would like to keep my EFI, but some modification will need to be done from what I could find. I need to convert to MAF, and get an HO computer as well. So, my questions so far are:
1. I'm not very familiar with the "learnability" of these computers. I was wondering if the DY3 computer from a MkVII HO would work with this (as oppose to an A9L/A9P).
2. Intakes. I plan on using a truck lower, and stick with the HO upper (for now), along with an intake adapter. Does this seem like an o.k. combo for now?
3. Cam. Not even sure where to start. I'm not looking for a race car, but if I put my foot down, I'd like it to get up and go. Any suggestions?
Any and all suggestions are welcome!
