RE: Just got the vortech in--a few quik questions
Did Vortech change the fuel pump? Guys used to say it would fail in the "Returnless" Fuel System these cars had.
Also the stock pump will support up to 8 psi at 6500 rpm at least with 39 psi injectors.
I dont know about with Vortechs FPU (If thats what they use).

RE: Just got the vortech in--a few quik questions
No idea on the pump, but i'm gonna be running it for the time being.
Also, another heads up of incidental costs so far
3/8X18 NPT tap $26.87
Brakleen $3.27x2 = $6.54
Mobil 1 5w20 $5.99x6 = $35.94
Mobil 5000 $1.99x6 = $11.94 (going to run engine for 5 mins or so with this, then change oil & filter again--just to be sure )
Motorcraft FL820 $3.99x2 = $7.98
Motorcraft Coolant--gallon $6.87(my discount price)x2= $13.74
Motorcraft Mercon--quart $1.80(my price) $3.60
Red Locktite $4.99
Motorcraft Silicon $6.99
Catch Pan $7.99(needed a new one anyway)
