If you want to fab something you can try and re-create the system used on 03-04 Mach 1 Mustangs.

I like the shaker, and at one time, years ago, I had thought of going that route. BUT, with the current hood, it is always my very favorite part of the car and stays.

I have also thought of FITech system as well. With the master kits (EFI unit, O2 sensors, fuel lines and pump etc), they run almost the same as FAST. I will do more research to see which one is actually the better of the two, or, if they are practically the same in fit, form and function.

I am always under a zero dollar budget. I have to sell parts or trade or whatever to get funds for the Sport, so, it takes time. That isn't a problem as it gives me time to study up on all of this. I am still going back and forth on this stuff, but the more I think about it, the more I am wanting to do it. I also wonder how good the computer is that runs it all. 30 years of technology has passed since my car was built, and it's 30 year old or older technology running it. Yes, there are new computers for the cars we have, but I do like the ram air idea along with doing something different and still having the car be very functional and all purpose.

That's kind of what I'm after, but I don't want the oval air cleaner. Never did like those unless they are on top of two carbs. I want a round air cleaner like the 71 Mustang. Probably Ford Blue with a chrome top, and of course, the rubber seal. I can fabricate a duct for the hood, but it has to be right. That hood can't be messed up with ugly thrown together leftovers.

I was looking at FITech as well as FAST. Still comparing them to see which one would be best. I like that system in the video. That would be right for my car.

I have to answer questions like....

Can I remove the current ECM and run the current pump? OR, do I need to run a new pump and start out from scratch as if I had a carbed car?

What do I need to leave in the car as far as the main harness and ECM are concerned? I'm unsure at this time what I need and don't need from my car to do the conversion.

I agree. I can be happy with either one as long as it will do it's job very well.

I have a question with all of this FAST or FiTech swap stuff.....


If I go that route, can the main engine harness and ECM be removed from the car? Does anything else depend on the ECM other than the engine? I do know my dash clock is tied into the harness, but I only use it as a clock, I don't use the fuel  mileage stuff, so I'd guess that the two wires to the main harness could easily be removed. But the rest I'm unsure about like water temp and oil sending unit.

i think youll need a portion of it, for the tfi and the gauges. but that I believe is it all that stuff is gone from my car anyway with the MSD, carb and aftermarket gauges but I'm not 100% its been a long while since I've seen a complete factory car

i'll replace the distributor. Possibly with one for an 85 Mustang GT. I have studying to do on that. Which gauges would be effected by removing the main harness?
