Hey guys,
Man I haven’t been on this site forever…
Well I blew my motor YEARS ago… I think it was running to lean on my 19# injectors so that’s definitely on my list to upgrade…
Anyway I came across a used motor out of a 86 GT for $350. It has 67K original miles out of a friends of a friend car. He is a mechanic and knows mustangs like the back of his hand. He said he could clean the motor up and would recommend opening it up with some rockers and a cam to help with the blower… Here are some general questions I have. The car has been siting up in Minnesota for 5 years un-touched
• Will my flywheel and clutch be ok to reuse? Im guessing I would have to have the flywheel cut again to remove any rust build up from sitting around…
• Will my trans be ok since it sat for so long without fluid?
• I have a vortec A-trim blower… there’s some dust and what looks to be like those white things from dandelions that you blow… all over the blower… does this NEED to be re-built? If so would it be worthwhile to upgrade it to an S-trim if it is absolutely needed to be rebuilt? What would the increase in power be? Or would the blower run a lot more efficient with the different impeller
• What size injectors should I go with? Could I buy them used off e-bay (a lot cheaper) I do have a bigger fuel pump… The MAF has to be re-calibrated right?
• Is there anything else I should do / change / maintenance during this swap?
Ive been out of the car scene for quite awhile… thanks for all the help… glad to be back :SNSign::SNSign::SNSign:
