Oh and my 5.0L T5 is now for sale.

I didn't read back, but is the T5 a WC?

I'll be keeping my Mustang away from YOU!!!!

LOL

I haven't heard of anyone swapping a 3valve into a Fox yet. I know you can purchase the pedal input separately.
What are you planning on transmission-wise?

Yes it is a 92 WC. I tried to verify that by the tag but it is missing. It does use the red ATF (WC only) and has a 3.35 first gear, which is correct for the 92-3.

I'm glad you mentioned your mustang cuz I might need you to snap a pic or two on some mounting stuff or whatever if you don't mind.

I actually have a pedal potentiometer that I doubt will work, or I'll get the stock one.

I'm looking at the t56 or SN95 T3650.

The deal came with the 08 3650 but that has a remote shifter instead of the toploader so it wouldn't work and I talked the guy into just the engine.

Sorry to hear about the job. Let's get together over the next couple weeks. I won't be starting the build for a bit, but it would be good to meet and chat.

Now all I need to do is get the MAF set up, pedal input, get past anti-theft, etc, etc, get a different trans, etc, etc.

skip the hassle and grab FMS p/n: M-6017-463V. its a complete control pack for the 3V; MAF, intake, pedal, PCM with ford racing calibration, OBDII port, everything. designed for street rod installation of a 3V, it should simplify your swap considerably.

I had a feeling they were going to do this but hadn't checked yet. Thanks for the tip.
