Default Project: Black Mamba ---- 4cyl to 347

Well got the new project in my driveway.

1993 4 cyl coupe in fair condition. .......... cost was a Trickflow R intake on even trade.
does not run, has a few spots of rust and interior is in fair condition.

This thread will go thru 4cyl to V8 conversion with 347 stroker and 5 lug conversion
Super clean black paint and Saleen body kit with no emblems and Arctic Bullets.

Stay tuned and here's what we're starting with. Expect lots of updates
and for this to go along quickly.

be great to have a price breakdown of what it takes. obviously the motor could be a million different things but the must haves to convert would be cool to know what it would cost.

you know thats not the origonal steering wheel for that car but it will be easyer because u wont have to deal with the air bag junk that was probably already deleted so that might not even be the right motor in that car now.u will still need an entire enigne harness for a 5L. it would probably be easyest to get an 89 or pre mass ari harness than add mass air. (no air bag)

You have to match year to year on engine harnesses.
If you have a '93 like this is, you can use the Ford Racing $200 harness from Summit.

Yes, some ding-dong put a tilt column and early style
guage trim housing on. Not sure what I'm going to make work there.

Car already has an 8.8 axle in it too.
