Setup sounds ok? 306 from carb to fuelie
Hello everyone. I have a 1986 Mustang lx trunk i bought last summer as a street car/drag racer. The MOTOR is a 302 done to a 306, E7 heads done 202 and 160, E303 camshaft, crane scorpion 1.6 roller rockers, ARP stud/bolt kit, MSD 6al ignition with adj rev limiter. It has a Weiand Double plane intake and a edelbrock 750 carb on it. It has 3.73 gears in the back and its 5 spd with a ford stage 2 clutch and a good quadrant.
I have removed the intake to begin my fuel injection swap and strated ordering some parts. My engine is an older 302, because the fuel pump is still attached to the block, even though it has an electric pump as well.
To make the swap happen I have:
Stock 5.0L H.O GT upper/lower intake setup, incl harness and computer
Now I have ordered:
1.Fuel injector rails/line/fitting/regulator kit
2.24lb injectors - computer is calibrated for 19lb???
3.70mm MAF sensor - supposed to make it work with big injectors, from stock 55mm
4.70mm throttle body polished
5.aluminum rad 3xcore and electric fans
6.manual steering rack
7.rear upper/lower control arms, urethane greasable bushings
8.frame connectors
My two questions are Is this setup going to work to even start the car? I know computer calibration and injector pulse/resistance are probably going to dislike it. Some say that with a bigger MAF, the more air, the maf metering how much fuel should flow in. If it allows more air, it'll add more gas.
The other question is I am aiming for 12s in the quarter mile. You guys think I can make this thing see 12s? Carbureted it ran 13.02s, and I started letting off because the steering was trying to throw me into the wall.
Any input is appreciated. The vehicle has not seen a dyno since I have owned it. All the chassis parts I'm putting on are because of wheel hop and body twist.If you wanna go fast, go ahead, it's your expensive gas you are wasting
Sorry for your loss of friend Mike McGee, Shine. Great trans men are few and far between, it seems. Sadly, Mike Frade was only 66 and had been talking about retirement for ten years that I know...
