here a up date on the bumble bee;
yesterday, my son figured he would share his flu with me. so me and the toilet have been the best of friends.which is ok because it is daytona week after all.
when i had the hood on her. the crown vic A/C bracket wouldn't let the hood shut close. so i pulled off the front brackets to install foxbody one. while i was at it ,i pulled the cast iron exhaust manifolds to put on some shorty headers.;

then i did spend about 3 hrs trying to fine the rest of the EFI parts from the crown vic , with no luck:mad:. with high only 20 above out side for that last two days and my shops have no bath room. i could not take going from warm shop to cold out side ,back to warm house every 30 minutes or so. i called it day.
for now! she will stay as a carb car. so i can get her to be a driver . when i can find the missing EFI parts then i will see about converting the 5.0 back to EFI.

guess what i did on my day off????

Lots O Work, kinda reminds me of my 5.0 swap into my TC...

BTW the Fox Stang/Capri never used the 250(nor did the Fairmont/Zephyr), that block is taller than the 200 and Ford figured there wasn't enough hood clearance... AFIK the earlier non-Fox Granada/Monarch were the last to use the 250...
