Supercharged 3.8l V6 swap! Reply #30 – December 22, 2010, 04:03:58 PM A side note on what you said:If you use the OE headers from a 96/97 bird they will not fit a fox car. --Spoken (typed) from experience.I think the OE headers on a split port mustang are the same and they will not fit either. I say I think because they are definitely the same I'm just not sure exactly which year mustang they are on. There are ones from certain years that will fit. I still have to figure out which ones those are.... Quote Selected

Reply #32 – December 23, 2010, 12:19:04 AM lol.. you said megasquirt too hahah.. an SC isn't exactly a good car to hack up.. it's best to keep them in 1 piece, clean/fix them and restore to their show room condition, with some goodies of course.. SC's are worth more than the foxes, hands down.. it would be a real shame and disgrace to tear 1 to pieces that's still intact Quote Selected

Supercharged 3.8l V6 swap! Reply #38 – December 24, 2010, 10:07:06 PM Yes,, it has been done, by one user that we know of so far.Check all threads posted by "spazpuppies"I talked with him once a long long time ago, i think he's in DC or Philly area. He doesnt come around much, he wasnt really welcomed or should i say believed about his swap as he was coming to ask for help on his problems. He was complaining because everytime he touched the gas barely, he was doing burnouts (everyones orgasmic dream around here) but many people here gave him . I think he slips in once in a while.ChuckA few years ago I talked to the MS guys at bowling iirc, and they were not completly ready to release the TFI ford version. They had the Chevy market covered well though...has this changed and they have the TFI model ready?I agree with you, the price of MS is far better than anything out there and you basically delete your entire EEC infrustructure.,,at the time is looked as though you could delete the entire harness.

Reply #39 – December 24, 2010, 10:16:40 PM from what i gather, your entire injection system goes out the window as far as the harness is concerned, some sensors as well.. i talked to a guy at a local speed shop who had replied to my thread on another forum, everything he said praised the MS1 and MS2 like it was sent down from heaven.. he answered every question i had about it and has me sold on it 150% Quote Selected
Supercharged 3.8l V6 swap! Reply #40 – December 24, 2010, 10:16:58 PM I cant find anything on spazpuppies on here. Maybe his contributions were deleted.. it may have happened since we have changed hands twice since he was coming around. I could have sworn i saw him logged on earlier this year. Quote Selected
Supercharged 3.8l V6 swap! Reply #41 – December 24, 2010, 10:20:30 PM well no shiznit,, thats what chuck was saying,, and we all have been for it for ever.I stopped learning about it until the TFI system was ready for release, but apparently its ready or has no bearing anymore.It does have a laptop interface as well from what I understood back then but for now, I will bow out because I am not a real user of the system,, just a guy who did have a good feeling about it a few years ago. When I saw chuck mentioning it several months ago, i should have recalled my notes and looked back into it. My white coug will be getting that system. Quote Selected

I started my old 88 Merkur for the first time with MS1 and TFI on 12/ 2004. (I just checked my records.) You can tie in to an existing EECIV harness with an adapter board or re-wire totally.http://www.diyautotune.com/catalog/eeciv-adapter-board-kit-pcbv20-p-151.html Quote Selected
