ok so its been a long time since i posted here, i'm still working on my merc that i got a few years ago, money was tight, life sucked for a while but i havent given up on this, i can't find my old post about the maroon grand marquis i got but its an 86 merc, 42,XXX miles, underneath is clean, since its been sitting the body developed 3 dime size spots of rust, nothing major.
i finally got my engine down to the machine shop, getting bored to a 306, new freeze plugs, bearings, etc.. basically getting it ready to build,
i got the trans setup today, everything is from the same mustang, just about everything i need to put the 5 speed in, minus a few things like brake master cylinder and driveshaft parts but here's the pics:
already has a PRO 5.0 shifter installed, this thing is tight, feels really good
the pedal assembly has an upgraded quadrant on it
new clutch kit included with the trans
new flywheel included as well
also a new clutch cable was included, got everything for 500.00 total, not bad i'd say!

also i wanted to find out, will a stock pcm from a mustang work as plug and play in the grand marquis? since i'm swapping to a 5 speed i don't care about cruise, lol but i want the gauges to still work, as in speedo and odom. or do i need an ecm from a mk7 or thunderbird with a 5speed?

ecm will work just fine, but the deciding factor will be if your running maf or sd on your choice of ecm

thanks guys!
scott: i don't work there, they gave us a calendar because we buy a lot of tires from their warehouse.
i'll have to scout an ecm then, i called the machine shop today, he didn't even touch my block yet, my fault for saying take your time... i figured he would have done something with it in 2 weeks, its the same place we use for our head jobs and other machine work and he's usually really good and fast. oh well, just gives me time to build up some more fundage again, lol

2 lame excuses. He could sell a kidney to fund the project and put off starting the business until the swap is done. You need to get your priorities straight man.

lol, yea, i'm taking baby steps, lol. at least once i get the engine back i can get an oil pump and oil pan, not too expensive, then i can mount the block and start working on getting the trans mounted and functioning. the project will speed up a little more i hope... also i decided to go with a carb setup for ease of install and that awesome 4 barrel feel and sound!

the sound of the secondaries opening up is unique to a mechanical 4 barrel setup from the video's i've seen and heard of 4 barrels anyway
