Dual over head cam engine Ford/Lincoln

[Rick Berg]

Was looking to use a Dual over head cam engine out of a lincoln/ford for a hot rod. Is it possible to eliminate the electronic intake and replace with a older style intake and carb. Or possibly a kit that completes this conversion? Thanks

I don't know of any carb/intake setup for this engine, but Painless Wiring makes a retrofit wiring harness for this engine. What this harness does is adapt all of the electronics and such into older vehicles, thereby eliminating having to use the factory wiring harness out of the donor car. You will need to grab the computer out of the donor car though to make everything work. Your on your own for a fuel system. You'll have to retrofit the factory gas tank to accept a return line. Your best bet is to buy a replacement gas tank and have it retrofitted to accept an in-tank fuel pump from a late model Mustang. If memory serves, this fuel pump has the return line, or the return line is at it's base. Hope this helps!
