    If you bought a MAF for a crown vic it'll be tiny and also meant to run 14# injectors. If running an a9p, you'll want a stock or aftermarket MAF for a fox mustang meant to run 19# injectors, which is what should be on the Exploder/Mountaineer engine.

        Thanks for the info. That is what I bought. So the MAF sensor from the 97 Mountaineer will work? And use the Mountaineer injectors?

          problem with making the arms very stiff is the rear suspension is more likely to bind up. The arms aren't parallel, and it needs some slop and flex in order for it to all work right. Make everything rigid and the rear can bind in travel or it might just rip the mounts off the frame. Honestly if you want to keep the rear under the car, fab a panard rod for it. Or see if you can retrofit the Watts link from a later one. Either will keep the axle where it belongs.

          You want the MAF that goes with the ECM you are running, or you want some means of tuning the ECM to the MAF. You can run any mix of parts you like so long as the ECM is programmed to the MAF transfer curve. The MAF has not a thing to do with the injectors though. Thats a common bit of BS from the Mustang world. The ECM has a set of parameters that match up to an injector, and the ECM has a set of parameters that match up to a MAF. The "calibrated" MAF sensors you might hear about feed a modified signal to the ECM to trick it into running a different size injector. Basically it lies about the amount of air going in, so the ECM sends the right signal to the larger injectors so they work anyway. Its a bad way of making stuff work together.

          anyway, the A9* is tuned for whatever injectors were in the 80s Mustangs, but they will work with any 19# without much fuss. Mountaineer injectors should be fine so long as they plug in. The tripminder (if you have one) may be somewhat wrong though.

          What cam are you running? The stock Mountaineer valve springs are pretty useless for anything besides that stock cam. The truck cam pulls nice but its done with by about 4500 rpm. An HO cam or really anything else will have more lift and run more rpm than the springs are going to control. There is a Trick Flow part number somewhere on here that is the usual suggested item.

          you'll need a Lightning EGR spacer in order to mate the throttle cables up properly. The Mountaineer throttle body needs the lever swapped from your stock throttle body as well.

          need the oil filter adapter. The oil cooler doesn't fit, and without the cooler you've got nowhere to screw the filter. Part number is on here somewhere, but its the same part used on basically every Ford V8 from the early 60s through the mid 90s. Basically it looks like a pipe nipple.

          Oil pan and timing cover come from the existing engine or are replacements for it. Same as 80s Mustang parts. water pump is for the Grand Marq.
