I read a lot on here, don't post much. I'm not sure if this should go into the readers rides section or not, just thought I'd throw up some of the things I'm working on this month with my 88 Grand Marquis.
Heads: I have a set of E7 heads at the machine shop right now getting checked and surfaced and I've ordered a set of roller rockers to install when I get them back.
Cam: This is the cam grind I plan on going with. It is the HO firing order. http://www.lunatipower.com/Product.aspx?id=1655&gid=254 There is shop here in Tacoma, WA. "Delta Cams" that will grind to what ever specs, for the roller lifter cams its $95.
Exhaust: My current stock exhausts muffler is all but rotted completely out. From what I've read, Mustang shorty headers and H pipe will work so I've ordered these 2.5" components, headers: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/fms-m-9430-p50 and H-Pipe: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/bbk-1507. I just have to decide on mufflers and if I want to do turn downs in front of the rear tires or jump over the axle and back.
On top of these I will get a Mark VII ECU to keep my cruise control and I have a set of 19# injectors to finish off the HO route (sans throttle body), although I was thinking about heading back to the junkyard to see about 24# injectors but I don't know if they are necessary or not.
during the head and cam install I will also delete my smog pump, and try and find some electric fans to delete the metal fan and clutch.
Any tips, opinions, heads ups or this will not works are welcome and appreciated!
