Title: Help 66 Mustang with a EFI 5.0 HO
Post by: thunderjet302 on April 28, 2006, 08:59:34 PM
Ok I'm having trouble finding info on this so I figured I'd ask here. A friend is trying to put a 5.0 HO into a 66 Mustang. He has a complete 90 Mustang doner car. He's going to convert to power disc brakes so here's a couple of questions.

1. Can the 90's brake boster be used in the 66 or do we need another one?

2. Does anyone make a tank for 64-66 Mustangs that can be used with the EFI pump as well as pre-bent fuel lines?

Another (probably dumb) question. We have to change the oil pan to a 60's small block front sump pan. I know we need a new pan and oil pump pickup but will the stock 5.0 HO oil pump work or does that need to be changed as well?

yes you will need a front sump pan, and the correct pick up , im pretty sure the pumps are the same. 

i would invest in an arp oil pump shaft to prevent future problems.

You can use a Econoline external fuel pump, and just plumb a return line back to the tank...
