Ok in about two months I'm going to start the HO swap into my T-bird. It's going to have a stock HO roller cam and GT-40 iron heads. I'm getting all the parts together over the next two months so I just want to make sure I get everything I need. Here's a list of what I'm picking up so far:
19lb/hr injectors
speed density Mustang or MK VII computer
155 lp/hr fuel pump
water pump
intake manifold gaskets
exhaust gaskets
spark plugs
oil and filter
coolant
soild rubber motor mounts from NAPA
Am I missing anything? I just did a tune up on the car this summer so it has new 9mm Ford Racing wires, cap and rotor, pcv valve, and fuel filter. Can you guys think of anything else I need to pick up? Thanks guys.
H.O cam,head gaskets,front cover and water pump gaskets.........
Head Gaskets?
new timing and chain and gears for a HO 5.0...make sure you get the chain AND gears...there's a difference between the SO and HO.
the rubber mounts are cheaper at autozone for the same ones,
head gasket kit will give you all the gaskets you will need.

I bought an intake gasket kit,2 head gaskets,valve cover gaskets,and gaskets for the front cover and water pump all seperately and it was about $20.00 cheaper than the entire head gasket kit was as a set.That was at our local AutoZone.You just have to ask questions and price everything.Get some lube for the cam for installation.
I'm getting the engine completely assembled from a local machiene shop so I don't need any assembly stuff. It'll have the oil pan, front cover, water pump, and valve covers already installed by the time I get it. I should have said that my bad.
I'll have to try autozone for the rubber motor mounts. We have an autozone, advance auto parts, and a NAPA all with in a mile of each other. It's odd to say the least.
Looks like I got most of the stuff I need then. Thanks for the replys. If you guys can think of anything else let me know.
