Yes, I know this... it was just easier to explain the other way.

Regardless, the Mustang ECM wont be calibrated for the 80mm MAF or the 24lb injector, so it doesnt really matter. you need it tuned anyway.

I'd imagine that with a 351W the clearance under the headers would be even more, which would make running the exhaust out of the turbos easier. Depending on single or twin, relocating the alt to the smog pump location would be beneficial-which I recently found requires modding the AC bracket to get the 3g out far enough to line up with the rest of the accessories.

Met a friend of a friend today who does turbo 5.0 Fox's, he's got like 3 of them. He also works for Ford's SVTeam. This is going to happen

89LincolnTWNcar · 10-01-2009, 11:36 PM

Here a video of Anabelle doing 0-80mph. Had to turn to get onto the curved on-ramp so videos not so great...but you can hear the engine roar. If you go roughly by the video, I floor it right about 7seconds in and get to 60 at about 14 seconds so maybe 0-60 in about 7 seconds? IDK for sure.

Well, the thing DEFINITELY has some snap to it now!

1987cp · 10-07-2009, 10:27 PM

Looks impressive, anyway. What's the current combo on that car?

89LincolnTWNcar · 10-07-2009, 11:20 PM

Right now the recipe is pretty simple:
Stock Lincoln 5.0 block, crank, connecting rods, bored to 306
Speed Pro hyper pistons
ARP rod bolts
GT40 3 bar heads with 1.7 roller rockers and 3 angle valve job and dual valve springs <- this combo wakes it up after 4000rpms
GT40 Lower Intake
Exploder Upper intake
67mm lightning EGR spacer, 65mm TB
running stock HO cam advance 4* with 19lb injectors and Mark VII ECU with speed density, 10* of timing - 87 octane
AC and Smog pump deleted
Heater core bypassed
Warm air intake
Taurus electric fan
Rebuilt stock AOD with shift kit and B&M 2000 stall
stock 3.27 open rear end
17" wheels

89LincolnTWNcar · 10-10-2009, 12:52 AM

Just got done with some reliability mods to make the twins happier... Taurus fan, 195* superstat, dual transmission coolers (one in rad, one external) Only stuff I SHOULD do before I add all that power is the BB and rear axle with discs, for safety reasons.

ironstealth · 10-30-2009, 08:45 PM

Update? how are things coming along?

89LincolnTWNcar · 11-04-2009, 10:55 AM

Ahh, update. Still amassing parts for the Big Brake upgrade and and mass air conversion. So far I have spindles, calipers & brackets, pads, rotors, and a 80mm maf. Now I just need the A9l or a9p or a9m computer from a mustang, some 92-94 upper control arms, and a good set of upper and lower balljoints and ES bushings.

dragginwaggin · 12-10-2009, 10:34 AM

just use some simple common sence t3 flanged turbos are like camaros and mustangs a dime a dz. ide probaly find 2 t3 flanged turbos off some thing in the 2.0-2.3l range. the most common cars ive seen in junkyards are dsm's(eclipse,lazer,talions,exc) 2.3l ford turbo chickens and mustangs,saabs have a hi and lo boost t3 turbo,or for something like 150 you can get a hybrid t3/t4 chinese turbo on ebay.(i know chinese parts suck but thats what thay used on project f-bomb and that maid 890hp on 87octane@406cid.
persionaly ide probaly go with the saab turbos there probaly less likely to be driven by some kid and beaten to death.

89LincolnTWNcar · 12-15-2009, 02:25 AM

update: mega junkyard score, somebody Cash4Clunker'd 2 foxes, a 90' and a 92' both with A9L computers. Yard here charges 43.99 for computers so I grabbed both and sold one on ebay for $120 and made my money back and got mine for free. Now all I need is the harness and the MAF conversion is on!

**87gtVIC** · 12-15-2009, 05:03 AM

Nice score.

**gadget73** · 12-15-2009, 06:13 PM

awesome.

89LincolnTWNcar · 02-06-2010, 11:22 PM

Just ordered the Mass-Air conversion harness off of ebay. I will start as soon as it gets here. Maybe I will do a detailed how-to with pictures for the MAF conversion on a box Town Car.

1980c10 · 02-15-2010, 09:18 PM

updates? mass air on?

89LincolnTWNcar · 02-17-2010, 10:11 PM

Not yet, I decided to wait until after I go to New York over spring break in mid-march.

89LincolnTWNcar · 05-07-2010, 11:34 PM

Anabelle has been my daily driver for a while, so not much headway has been made as of yet. I do have all the parts for the MAF conversion and it should be going down here soon. I just gotta get one of my other projects rolling so I can take her down for a while.

jayh · 05-10-2010, 12:28 AM

the junk in my sig is SD, but you are better off going maf

are you gonna run an fmu or bigger injectors?

seems like 42's and a lightning 90mm maf would the way to go, but being blow through; you'll definately need a serious tune, mail order probably wont cut it
