3.8/4.2L Split Port Swap into a Fox Reply #16 – June 05, 2007, 09:58:05 AM Much info here:http://www.babpen 15s.com/editorial/ar/ar90134.htmIF I ever get the opportunity to do it: 83-86 Tbird 3.8 V6 AOD car:Add to that:Truck 4.2 longblock w/ 97computer for manual transmission. That way I can mount it to an AOD and use a return style fuel system.A bigger issue for me will be wiring up the dash and A/C differences. Are ANY of the senders from an EEC-V system compatible with a dash from an EEC-IV system? Quote Selected

3.8/4.2L Split Port Swap into a Fox Reply #21 – June 08, 2007, 09:13:12 PM Quote from: Thunder Chicken;146136Excellent info. I've always wondered if a mass-air V6 computer would work with split port. Obviously you'd need one from a DIS car (such as Super Coupe or 94-95 Mustang) as a distributor would never work with an SPI intake. The IRCM system would obviously have to be removed as well...the 94-95 mustangs are eec-v with a return style fuel system. imo the 94-95 3.8 are junk 3 sets of headgaskets in 5 yrs. Quote Selected
3.8/4.2L Split Port Swap into a Fox Reply #22 – August 17, 2008, 01:11:36 AM Made some progress last weekend. Old engine and transmission are out. New engine is in for test fitment. Random findings:Broken alternator mountVisibly loose bolt on the oil pumpO2 signal return wire missing insulationAlso, the NVH weight on the transmission tailshaft was broken, but I've lost my camera-to-computer cable. Pulling the old stuff went pretty smoothly except for a rounded starter bolt and transmission removal.Upsie-daisyFreeeeeNOT how you want to remove a tranny w/o a plug in the rear...[Ace Ventura]Like a glove!After I bought the SP engine and did some preliminary measuring I was worried the rear plane of the upper intake might hit the firewall and would definitely hit the discharge hose (although it will be removed eventually) and the vacuum bracket. It ended up fitting perfectly.I still need to remove all the old vacuum lines and engine harness. Once completed I can begin figuring out exactly how to re-wire and integrate the new harness.

3.8/4.2L Split Port Swap into a Fox Reply #28 – October 06, 2008, 05:24:09 PM What's the best way to get the engine/tranny in the car?I was planning to remove the front clip, and install the engine/tranny together with all accessories on the engine. Will that work? Any tips?Also, I need some kind of programmer to kill PATS/EVAP/Rear O2s/etc. SCT looks like a good buy, but I'm not sure which product is what I need. Also, will I need to get a "tune" by a third party to turn on/off those scalars? (unless I have the Pro Racer Package) Quote Selected
3.8/4.2L Split Port Swap into a Fox Reply #29 – October 06, 2008, 08:08:30 PM I would pull the side accesories like you did in the first pic, and I would just pull it all out at the same time. I did it with a 5.0 and an AOD, I didn't even remove the ac condenser radiator thingy. I cant remember how much of the front accessories I pulled off though.I know it will fit with the water pump, oil pan, and timing chian cover. Quote Selected
