Engine Swapping / 4 turbo to v8 (88tc) fuel pump issues
Ok, Did the v8 swap on my 88 tc (turbo coupe) and now the fuel pump primes and stops, what do I need to do to make it run with the engine? Also my fuel regulator isn't working, http://www.summitracing.com/parts/PFS-10653/?rtype=1 this is the one I'm running, it was adjusted to 9 lbs and when I adjusted the thing it jumped to 15lbs and no matter what I do that is what it stays at. Did I blow the guts out of it or something? I made the fuel pump run but grounding the test pin on the connector just to hear the motor run. I appreciate the help btw :). I'm looking at buying a fuel pump relay and wiring it directly, if I do this I can get rid of most of the factory wiring, well after I sort out what goes to the brakes and what not.

General Fox T-Bird/Cougar Discussion / Generall 88 turbocoupe ?'s
I'm running a carb so I just assume to keep most of the 4 cyl stuff to make it work, the ride control, I heard if you removed under hood stuff it just stayed in firm mode, which is fine with me. My abs doesn't work any way, I noticed that the Relay under the hood the wire is chewed up, I didn't want to mess with the brakes but if I could remove that stuff and the electrohydrolic booster works minus abs I could live with that.

General Fox T-Bird/Cougar Discussion / Generall 88 turbocoupe ?'s
Ok I just did a V8 swap on my 88 TC, with the 88 tc radiator what shroud can I get and use? What does the computer thing on the passenger strut tower control? How much wiring can I get rid of from across the fire wall, Can I split the loom and roll back a bunch of that wire to fire wall where it comes from? Can I remove the factory computer and still have my fuel pump run? I'm trying mostly clean up under the hood.

Thanks,
