    Paul, you can do your carb swap the same way Im doing mine.

    It will cost less than 400 bucks, and isnt very much labor.

    Also, you wont have to drop teh tank with my method!

        LTD....

        I'm going to have to drop the tank on mine, and remove the electric pump, and go with a mechanical fuel pump.. My car has two fuel pumps, one in the tank, one under the car, (where the second muffler goes..)

        Just a thought....
        I wonder if just the electic pump in the tank could be used.. with a fuel regulator on it... (I wonder what kind of pressure it puts out, by itself?)
        Maybe I can just remove the under car one, and use the one in the tank, so I won't have to swap out the pick up in the tank....

          If it has two pumps, you could probably follow all the mustang carb swap articles...same fox-chassis and everything...

              The in-tank pump is a low pressure unit, which feeds the high pressure unit outside of the tank. I don't know why Ford did this, it doesn't make much sense to me.

              I have no idea what kind of pressure the in take pump produces. You could probably hook a fuel pressure gauge up to the in tank pump and see what it produces, but this would probably be a pain in the ass.

                Justin, STfU.

                Yours works.

                Also, my setup will be fine, you are just in denial

                Tom, Ill figure something out when we get to it. Im good like that. I also found a small bracket that corrects the AOD TV geometry problem, without the lokar kit!

                Cost? Around 20 bucks. you can get em for an edelbrock or holley!!!

                  Mine works because we used an edelbrock with lokar kit and dropped the tank to remove the stock pump

                              Fuel pump....

                              lincolnmania,
                              I'm talking about my "Baby" LTD... the fox chassis one!!!

                              1. Check to see if you have 2 fuel pumps, one in the tank then one on the rear frame close to the tank. Use only the one in the tank and bypass the one on the frame rail.


                              2, As an alternative you can also use a mechanical fuel pump or an electric aftermarket pump by adding a sump to your fuel tank. To sump the tank go to the auto parts store and buy some 3/8 steel brake line that is about 12 inches long. Take down your fuel tank and remove the stock in-tank fuel pump. Leave the rubber tube that hangs down in place, measure the length from the rubber thing to the bottom of the pickup where the stock filter used to be. Then cut the tube just a bit longer and slide it into the rubber hose and use a clamp on it. Mount your new fuel pump AFTER the stock fuel filter. Now you have a home-made pickup that'll handle 400hp.
                              Number one is excactly what I was thinking...The one in the tank is new, the previous owner had it replaced right before I bought it... He was having problems with the CFI (Imagine that!).. and the in tank pump was out...
                              So I will remove the one under the car, and just use the tank one.... I wanted to get rid if the undercar one anyway, so I can run two mufflers on my exhaust system... intsead of the dual in dual out muffler I was going to use...



                              Tom....
