BRAAP

Thanks for the input.. This SHO project started out from a complete SHO car, that drove. Shifter cable was broke so the car was bought at a great deal. The Powertrain and complete Powertrain wiring harness have been removed, the rest of the car has been cut up and sold as scrap, (what else is a Ford body good for, LOL). At any rate, I have the entire Powertrain complete with the ECU harness, etc. Now all I need is the rear drive bell housing and manual tranny to bolt up to it and I’m off and running.. Thanks again,

Hello guys, BRAAP is BACK!!!! Well, I’m working on a couple of project Z’s right now, LS1 power, (this project is on hold) but the other one is a go right now. Goal for this project is just to make a nice smooth zero maintenance quiet daily driver Z that is tad different from the other swaps going right now, not wild, just different. I have at my disposal a nice Taurus SHO engine that I want to install into the engine bay of a 280. Has anyone ran across anyone else converting this east/west V-6 into a north/south config and if so, what is the most common route? Thanks in advance guys…

I am assuming you are refferring to the Edlebrock Pro Flo RPM system. I have this system and from what I gathered from reading both the installation AND setup manuals is that it cannot be seperated. The programmer NEEDS this info to operate. Of course there is always the possiblitly of trying to fool the ECU into thinking the Edelbrock IGN is up nad running when infact it's not but that is another story and you should probably have already bought another EFI systems such as SDS, Haltech, etc. This is just my opnion but why would you NOT want to use the built in fully adjustable IGN map that Edelbrock already suppliese with the system? MSD is good stuff but what the Edelbrock system offers is the ability to "observe" the timing and adjust in real time from the same controller you control your fuel with. Not seperate controllers, seperate ways of controlling, etc. I am willing to bet $10 that there will be NO differene in HP and MPG with either set up once optimized. Good luck,

Howdy Gang. I am relaying this question for my father who is having trouble posting the forum. He is about to swap in a Chrysler 440 and auto tranny into his '83 ZX Turbo car. he would like to know if any one has swapped the Chrysler Big Block into a ZX and what issues arouse during the swap? His name is Ron Ruschman and he can be reached at... rock52@uswest.net Thanks gang...
