    94 f-150 truck motor into 86 Vic Parts suggestion.

    Okay, so I have a box of critical parts coming for this pseudo HO swap. The EEC ho upper and mustang tb modified to work with a panther.

    However I am normally an aircooled vw guy. So looking at parts online is causing me to scratch my head.

    Things I think I should replace on the new motor (94 with 100k miles) are the timing chain and gaskets, but where do I start? Any links or recommendation would be nice. I have no issues paying for something nice if it will last a long time.

    I will be keeping the original exhaust intact and using many of the 86's original parts only the fuel injectors from the truck will be used and maybe some of the better condition accessories like the AC compressor.

    Make sure your throttle body is modified to your 86. 86 is special.

    Gonna need a bored out stock egr spacer our lightning spacer if you dont have one already so you can mount up your throttle linkages.

      I've read about that just recently it's the TV cable thing right? i doubt the to was modified for an 86.... God damnit I knew I should have just swapped the cam between the two engines and moved on with life.

        Yes. The TV cable thing.

          Son of a gun!!! There was at least one 86-specific TB on the shelf, maybe even two! And there was an unfucked-with HO TB that could have easily received the lever off one of them '86 lopo TBs... I didn't even realize this car was an '86, or I would have provided a more proper part...

          On the other hand the 86 cable setup is to me less than ideal, certainly not as user-friendly as the later design. And if (or when, if you don't know how it adjusts) the cable breaks, you're up some creek. Hitting a junkyard for a more commonly-used TV cable may not be a bad idea at this point. Which may sound odd coming from a person with a pretty much 50% custom-fabbed vehicle, but that's just it, if you later need a replacement part just about anything will do, and you won't have to worry about where the hell you'll find that 1-year-only part...

            ^^^ Whenever you can get away from a one-year part, do it. For a while I had a knack for landing one-year cars and hated myself for it.

              This is why I try to stay away from the first year of whatever it is, most importantly when it boils down to new engines or transmissions.

                Great, now I need to source a regular cable and install it... boneyards around me have NO panthers of any vintage. The only one which would have some are two hours away.

                I was really hoping I wouldn't have to fuck with that cable, but damnit...

                    I wonder if its not possible to convert a late throttle body to an 86 one by bolting in a stud.

                    looks a lot like the 86 TV cable stud. Add in a bushing of some fashion to adapt the hole in the throttle body to the stud size and you might just have it. Hardware stores usually have an assortment of bits and bobs that might be just what you need. I'd go wth something metal though.


                    It would want some measurements of the actual Ford stud first to see if its even possible. Failing that something could definitely be custom made to do the job.

                      Washer on one side, washer on the other side, fat rubber o-ring between them to more or less center the bolt into the TB lever hole. When the nut is tightened the washers will deform ever so slightly and that together with the clamping force will lock the stud into place on the lever. Done!

                        yeah, I was thinking something more along the lines of a piece of metal as the bushing but that would probably do it. Of course me being me I was actually thinking of a custom-machined adapter dingus. I could probably come up with the dimensions, I have an 86 throttle body on my car, and an HO throttle lever around here someplace for hole sizing. It wouldn't need to be an amazingly stout piece of anything, and I have some little stub bits of 1018 cold rolled that would probably yield such a contraption. The bigger problem is that I have no desire to take the throttle body off the car and I don't know that i can get in there for measurements without it.\

                              just got to thinking that someone must make that part. People own 86 Mustangs. I could make one myself but it would take longer than $13 worth of time. If I needed one for me, I could have it done long before the postman could get it to me though.
