I used the factory 2000 gt fuel rails and the factory regulator, just did a bit of welding on the rails to make the crossover line work. Still a returnless style, do I just run the vacuum from the fuel rail mounted regulator straight to the intake? Not sure because I bought the car with no top end on the engine and didn't get to see how everything went together forsure
I'm using 96 mark viii injectors, other than that it's all the factory fuel system

I have been running 24 lb/hr's in mine for almost 6 months now with no issues... on the GT computer and tune. Ive read a lot of people not having this being an issue... just sayin.

Hmmm, thats interesting. I've not tried running my 24s from my lincoln motor so I can't argue your point, but that is certainly food for thought.

What Power level are the 19 lb injectors good to? Can I run bolt ons without running out of fuel?
Also what's everyone run for gears with this swap, I haven't installed my 3.73 yet but from the dyno # posted a few pages back with the power mid range should they be goid
Will I need to have the PATS system reworked in my 99 or can I still have sct tunes written for the swap

93 Mark VIII engine
Great write up. You summarized most of the answers I was looking for.
I am looking at a 93 Mark VIII Teksid engine with the old style intake and 128K miles.
1) Does the IMRC work with vacuum controls, and if so, does it work automatically without the ECC intervention?
2) Will the throttle body type and location be compatible with a 98 GT?
