I didn't think so.
If you have any questions, let me know. I've pretty much done all the research to slap one (Mustang 3.

in. All that remains is to purchase the pieces.

I got a few, mainly because I want to use the IMRC type intake from a Windstar or F-150.... As far as using the single port setup from a Mustang I suppose it would be alot easier AND it should fit under our hoods.

I'm just looking to be difficult is all:hick:

I'm going to use a SP 3.8. It should fit under our hoods. IMO, if you swap in anything less than a SP 3.8, you are a glutton for punishment.

wow!! 260 inline 6? (250). '63 first year of the small block? (62 221ci). ford small block/big block? (windsor, 335 series, 385 series, FE, [y-block, flathead, MEL, esshag, modular,etc...]) welcome to the internet, home of misinformation, lol.

I kinda want to put my 400 in place of my 3.8 now. I'd be curious to the 4.2 swap, though.

I whole-heartedly agree and I may do the single split port for ease of installation/maintenence. Either way I'd like to go with a 4.2 so long as I can grab one cheap enough. I'm still early in the planning process, so we'll see.

Dragging this up again.......A reputable source has told me a 1997 F-150 4.2 V-6 has both IMRC AND a return type style fuel system. So an F-150 4.2 liter with IMRC and the EEC-V wiring harness for a '97 with a manual trans will work.
