EFI Project weekend...New update

[Broncoward]

Ok so this is my EFI project weekend. Scared but I got to do it after collecting $2000 worth of parts...I better use them huh!....I'm probably gonna be asking some questions and this thread might have to move to the Tech Area.... not sure...but for now here is my thread....

The start already happened actually.

89 crown vic...upper, lower, TB, sensor.here is the photos

It may seem intimidating but is not as bad as it may seem. I'll put this upgrade as one of the top 5 upgrades to do to a Bronco. I'm not an expert on EFI by far, but I'll be glad to try and answer anything.

Have fun.

Round One

Thanks I need encouragement....I started the valve cover replacement and carb/dizzy removal so far

Looking good, keep up the motivation...

Is that washer fluid resivoir from the crown vic? I like it. I want one. Haha. Good luck with the EFI

 

[Broncoward]

Ouch Help if you can

OK I didn't see this coming and I've studied UGH..The master cyclinder and the upper plenom are hitting and i'm gonna grind to get the clearance I need on the temp....ugh

EFI Swap

Please keep the pic coming Running Buddy is about to embark on this swap...
One question I thought the Crown Vic intake was too tall for our Broncos unless you have lots of body lift .....Might be a good time for a tilted mount and a Hydro boost set up ..

The Crown Vic is same as the 86-93 Mustang. A shorter one is from 94-95 Mustang and 91?-93 Cougar and T-Bird.

I don't think I've heard of this problem before. I run the explorer intake and have more than 1" of clearance. Is it possible that your engine is tilted to the driver's side? Could be a bad motor mount.

Thanks for the updates. this is definitely a mod I want to do.

It appears to me that , because he does not have the power brake booster , he does not have the angle bracket most of us have , therefore his master cylinder is in the way of the manifold.
You are right though , never heard of this problem before.
I wonder if an angle bracket could be used with just a MC , no booster.

This might be the one situation where the upper could be flipped around the other way and work out ok.

 

[HoosierDaddy]

By the way , you'll want to put your harness on before you install the upper manifold. I'd guess you were just test fitting though.

I have 2 Broncos with manual brakes and no clearance issues.

 

[HoosierDaddy]

Hmm , it was just a thought .....

Like Viperwolf suggested , a bad motor mount or , if it was a 6cyl to v8 conversion , mounts in the wrong places ?
I used an Exploder intake also , no fittment problems with power brake set up. No bodylift either ....


Found this at FFI :
1994-95 Mustangs and 1991-93 Thunderbirds have the lowest intake profile at 9.5 inches, but to keep the intake runner length the intake is wider and contacts the master cylinder.

 

[HoosierDaddy]

Could someone go measure their intake for him ? Mine is in a storage unit , otherwise I'd measure my Exploder width.
I think I'd measure from centerline of upper/lower mounting surface to each side.
Maybe try measuring from TB mount to backside also , but may not be very accurate if there is any offset.

The truck came with a 302...the only this about the clearance could be the MC is the big bore F250?...one..also I was just test fitting...anyone got a picture...without brake booster

Might want to look at the motor mount studs that go through the frame mounts. The holes are slotted so it is possible to have the motor rocked over some.

 

[Broncoward]

put a washer behind M/C did the trick

'94-'95 Mustang on 302.
