In a lot of cases a shroud setup will work better, however there isn't always room for an effective shroud so I opted for a very high flow fan in this case to compensate. It's also fair to point out that the factory did not use a shroud in this application either.

@tecmotiondyno there guy on TH-cam has already done it and was able to fit one in

You might get it to run with almost any Mustang 5.0 engine harness, but you will have issues with the ancillary connections no matter what - there are no 5.0 EFI harnesses which will connect right up to your dash harness. I have a friend with a similar 4-eye that is running but he didn’t do the work and I have not looked closely at what done. Obviously it CAN be done though.

Those features like air suspension and ABS are great when they work, and a pain in the butt when they don’t. That Teves ABS system is more or less unheard of today too, so finding parts or someone to work on it is no fun, but you can convert to a vacuum booster to keep it on the road. In spite of these things, I do like cruising in mine!

I was about to reply to your comment before you edited it. In 1984 and 1985 Lincoln offered the BMW Diesel in the Mark VII, but by 1986 they were all Ford 5.0 V8's.

@@tecmotiondyno I didnot have a diesel so I corrected it.👌

The rear brake calipers are basically unobtainium. The rest of that stuff can be bought from a supplier like Rockauto. There are apparently some options for switching up the rear brakes with parts from a Taurus, and of course anything is possible when you get into the aftermarket and customization. I'd say you paid more or less parts car price for it though, so I don't think you got a bad deal.

Me either! Thanks for watching.

If you are saying that you took apart an 8.8 and there was no pinion shim installed, then it was almost certainly assembled wrong. It would be pure speculation as to why this mistake was made, but I have seen situations where someone used the newer pinion bearings and didn’t replace the races which were for the older style bearing, and since they don’t mesh properly it screws up the depth. I would say that your rear end will need a scratch setup including a careful measurement of the pinion depth which I did not cover in this video. The “reuse the old pinion shim” technique only works if you started with a correctly assembled gear set. There is a special pinion depth checking tool for the ford gear sets which is available.

I really enjoy mine though it has its moments of frustration for sure. I have a few technical videos on here specific to the Mark that might help you, and lots of Foxbody stuff, much of which crosses over. Thanks for watching!

Great story! Thanks for sharing it. It sure feels a lot more contemporary than driving a Fox Mustang because of all the advanced features that are common today, but especially with a heads/cam/intake build like mine it has that raw 80’s Foxbody Mustang sound and feel. It’s a great nostalgia cruiser in my view!

Yes, I have a bunch of blanks but have been swamped with summer stuff. I am hoping to have a little time this week to finish the blanks I have. It’s a bit of a slow process because I actually bench install every one of them on a distributor and check them to be sure you are getting a quality part. I did get smoke gray vent pods back in stock a week or so ago finally! If you need more than one, message me on Facebook or Instagram (@tecmotiondyno) and I will finish some on an emergency basis.

@@tecmotiondyno thank you for the reply. I want an adapter very badly. I appreciate your quality control efforts and making sure they are perfect for sale. If I may ask, what is a vent pod?

@s2_eleven551 - I just finished boxing the second last finished one, and there is indeed one left which you could order. Additionally it looks like I have at least 10 blanks printed, and I am hoping to have time to get to them later this week because I know I am getting low. A vent pod is a part that allows you to install a gauge in an AC vent by replacing the original vent with a vent gauge pod. I make a line of them covering Mustang from 1987-2014 and 90-92 Mark VII. I also make a system that allows you to mount a Holley 3.5" touch screen anywhere you can put a 2 1/16" gauge, which pairs very nicely with the vent pods when you use a Terminator X in a Foxbody for example. Here are some videos on the subject: Vent Pods: th-cam.com/video/oLYdgQr4T2A/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Kpw6_9Z7wPEGLc9Y Holley Screen Mount: th-cam.com/video/65CF1vG0bPY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=EUW4XnM51xK7S3Dl

I hope your gear change works out how you hoped. A gear swap in a Foxbody is one of the best value for money upgrades that you can do.

Anything is possible - it’s about the same underhood space as a Foxbody and I have seen guys get a 460 in them.

I would say that the better part of them were SEFI including all the Mustang engines, but you are right, some of them are bank fire. I am not 100% sure how this test works on a bank fire version, but it could use a spark cut.

@@tecmotiondyno FWIW in my understanding, the earlier versions of efi were speed density because maf sensor technology was in it's infancy. My '95, '94, '90 Fords use speed density but california (CARB) versions were for '95 used maf. I'm not sure exactly which engines or when Ford first introduced maf, but those were all sequential injection as far as I know and speed density (MAP only) were all bank fire injection. In the case of '95 maf, ignition wasn't DIS, as far as I know. Thus I'm pretty sure if the ignition is dis, this will also be sequential injection. Then we have all the different versions of ecm's, parts availability (discontinued parts?), on and on... ;)

Pretty well all of the speed density cars were SEFI - Mustang, T-Bird, Cougar, Mark VII, Crown Vic, Grand Marquis, etc. These will go back as early as 1986 in some cases. MAF was first introduced in the Mustang in California in 1988 and nationwide in 1989. The speed density trucks and vans were mostly bank-fire. MAF equipped trucks like some 93 E-Series vans were SEFI.

@@tecmotiondyno 1990 2.9 V6 Bronco II federal emissions? 1995 Bronco 5.8 Federal emissions? 1994 F250 460 Federal emissions? See electrical schematic, 8 injector channels or bank fire?

I don't have the 94 460 schematic or the 95 Bronco schematic handy. The 90 V6 Bronco is a MAP controlled vehicle and is batch fire. In most cases I think the MAF vehicles were SEFI and the cars were SEFI regardless of whether they were MAF or MAP, as I said.

Sounds like a great project. My first Mustang was actually a 67 fastback with a 289 and a top loader. There are three point seat belt retrofits out there - the car in this video got one actually. That’s probably the easiest and most effective thing you can do to improve safety for your son when he is driving it.

@@tecmotiondyno thank you, i will have to look into that…..i had a ‘65 fastback in highschool with a built 302 and top loader as well…..man i miss that car, if only i had stayed in school and went to class my father never would have took it from me and sold it!!!

I sometimes do. The car in this video was a project for a customer.

Thanks for the idea. I work on quite a few of those cars still and have owned several so I will look into it. And I agree - for a while no one showed up with one, but they are starting to show up again because the guys they appeal to have reached a certain age where they are building their high school dream car.

They are a fun car but increasingly hard to keep on the road. I do enjoy mine though.

You should probably ask these questions on the Lincoln Mark VII Club Facebook group. Your brake problem is likely either with the Teves unit itself or the accumulator ball.

I'm not a big fan of estimates myself, and I know what it takes to actually run a mid 9 second pass. It's a pretty incredible build, but an estimated track time is just a really just a guess, and usually an optimistic one.

@@elzorro7of9 GREAT story! Thanks for sharing!

I'm glad it helped!

It is a pretty crazy ride!

You will need a dash harness and engine harness that matches. Without looking at it, I would guess that it already has a 90 dash harness and you will have to get a 90 engine harness. 1990 is a unique setup though I personally saw a car the other day which is supposed to be a 1990 and had the late style dash connector, so there are some weird setups out there. Outside of this one questionable exception, every 1990 I have seen including my own late production 1990 coupe has the two engine to dash connectors and the airbag support. The 1995 harness is really different and probably not that easy to adapt to the 1990 dash harness. Good luck with it.

Thanks for highlighting the differences in pronunciation and usage of language throughout the English speaking world. Just be thankful that I didn’t refer to your hoodie as a “bunnyhug”!

@@tecmotiondyno ZERO THREE

I’ve known Joe a long time. I’ve done basically nothing on his project but it’s a really incredible build that I think deserves to be seen outside the Calgary area. This interview was very impromptu - I had a rare opportunity at a car show where they weren’t playing music and I figured I was going to get 60 seconds on the car for a short but it turned into a little more of a profile. Anyway, I’m glad you enjoyed it.

I’ve known a few guys with them - half the time at shows people would ask if it was a cop car! 😂

@@tecmotiondyno We used to call it the LEO effect. People would hit their brakes and slow down whenever they saw my Marauder coming by. Lots of them thought that I was driving an unmarked State Police cruiser....until they saw the polished 18" alloy rims and shiny exhaust pipes! 😁

I don’t even think this is a regional term - it’s derived from the curving wall like shape of the block in this area which resembles the Great Wall of China.

Yes, except for the cam with is a TFS stage 2

It’s an over the top car for sure, and not the kind of thing most people have seen. I really have nothing to do with the project but I know Joe and I get a kick out of his build. Hopefully you guys do too.

@@tecmotiondyno i love builds like this, they are unique thanks for the upload

Mine is an ST1200 and I think there is a case diameter difference, but I only really had to cut holes for the shift towers, and I might have trimmed a bit for the shifters. The input shaft seemed like a bigger issue to get right for whatever reason.

Use a fuse that can handle the continuous draw of the fan. It can be anywhere in a relatively short power circuit like this but ideally it will be fairly close to the battery or power lug. The fuse won’t normally blow as a result of the startup amperage.

I used 1/4-20 x 3/4” long button heads.

@@tecmotiondyno thanks a lot for your support... Cheers

Try the 6:30 mark where the grounding of the system is clearly shown and explained.

@@stevenking6442 yeah, that’s what it is really for - home garages. It’s a long story how I ended up with it in my shop, but it has given good service and works well with light units like cars. Someone else had asked me about it so I filmed a little video on it: Low Profile Portable Two Post Automotive Lift Features and Review th-cam.com/video/7jPyQMASt58/w-d-xo.html

I always liked the cougar myself too.

The car turned out really nice in the end!

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching.

You can attach it the same way I did here. If you don't want to pull the upper intake and you still have the factory lift points, you can use those, but the engine will twist as you adjust the load leveler. An example of installing an engine/transmission assembly with the factory lift points is here: th-cam.com/video/Y8w5WoQsM8c/w-d-xo.htmlsi=-VmhOvYcDsHPPwq5

@@tecmotiondyno Okay. She is stocked from the factory, so I will use the factory lift points. Are those stock headers on your engine? If so, I should be able to deinstall and install my engine like you did, right? Maybe a little easier since only the bell housing will be attached?

@@Mustang8846 yeah, I think both these videos depict stock header cars. You won’t have to remove the stock headers to get it in or out, but if you switch to aftermarket headers you will start to get into special procedures around the headers.

@@tecmotiondyno This is great news! She is stocked and will remain stocked. I will only make mods that are absolutely necessary. So far that is the R12 to R134a conversion and the Alternator upgrade.
