Yes, have to remove the old one for this.

@@HOUSEOFDULA how did you remove them ?? Were they spot welded into place or have to cut them out completely.

man I agree 100%. ive been back and forth on the hood on this car. right now it has a stock hood with factory turbo scoop. Its okay, but leaning toward factory pace cowl or nothing on the hood at all ;)

I do not sir. I sold the whole motor to a foxbody buddy.

@@HOUSEOFDULA darn. My 79 turbo notch is either going back to turbo or going N/A. I have considered EcoBoost.

OOOOF Man, its been a bit. I want to say its 5/8

Thank you. Dont worry this is still a fox oriented channel, but it's nice to take a break from them every once in a while too ;) MAN. I'm thinking Godzilla...

Actually neither. Its 100% build from scratch from Ford for engine swapping. So its all new designed, but modeled pretty close to OEM because of engine sensor placement, fuse box etc is relatively in the same position...the ECU is also not OEM and specific to this engine swap kit. The sole purpose of this kit is to run the engine, nothing else.

@@HOUSEOFDULA Thank you very much would you please advise from where I can get it ?

@@HOUSEOFDULA Do you think that if used the OEM Harness and ECU will work? If not Can you share the like where I can get the ECU and harness that you used. Sorry to disturb you but parted out 2015 ecoboost and I bought a foxbody 87

Its all here bud ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-m2ziM3J2IiY.htmlsi=x-toS6KEvAmLfZhd

Yes thank you! Great idea, and fits it and me as well. Its perfect. Red River is just a little nod to Oklahoma where it came from

Lol right on. I’m a ford fan no doubt and have a soft spot for trucks, always will, and especially 60s fords. I love my foxes! Mr this is a nice change in scenery for a bit while I person to get back on the ‘79.

Thanks man! Im having a lot of fun with it, nice change in scenery but already looking forward to get back to EgoBruise.

That's correct. Zero gauge wiring except for "typically" fuel and speedo. For me I just had to tap speedo into existing T5's VSS sensor, and will calibrate it when its running, OR you can also use DD's GPS speedo module, and not wire the speedo either. And the fuel gauge is independent, but works with virtually any sending unit. "MAYBE" if some ECUs are aware of the gas gauge level, the BIM will pick it up. But typically its not. Its really genius, a game changer IMO because I dont need to run wires to the engine compartment for tach, temp, air temp, oil pressure, voltage etc...And because this is a boosted motor and ford uses a map sensor, the ECU has this info...I can tell the BIM module to use this, and now I have a boost gauge on my dash.

@@HOUSEOFDULA gotcha. Thank you sir. I’ve got an 03 grand Marquis/crown Vic chassis swap project on an F100 so I was looking into this module to make life easier as I kept all the modern wiring

@@ziggy760 Sweet!! I just picked me up a '67 bumpside. Love it and, and crown vic swap is the way to go. It's perfect for this setup. A little $$$ but all in all so worth it.

Lol

Dug deep into this. Its a 67. Vin matches 67 on the frame too. Motor looks to be 71 as well. Someone had a 67 and a 71, and decided the 67 was more solid but shortened it with the 71s bed then swapped the grill, dash swap and likely motor. Lot of work, would love to talk to who did it lol. The whole truck was painted the 67s original Rangoon red…a long time ago, so it all patinad together

Hello! Man before the RU-vid I was on forums posting. Its still out there! Not "step by step" but shows my progress. I was in the same boat, and tackled this never doing it prior. www.fordmuscleforums.com/threads/mini-tubbing-the-69.506860/

We'll see. Likely not either "initially" for his first car that is. When hes old enough, he loves the blue car, if anything this will go to him, since he's been around since so little. BUT I will say he's fond of these old ford trucks too. When Im gone they will all go to him and my daughter (almost 25 years old)

Thanks Tony! I am too. Im trying not to go full speed on this. Just necessities, like stopping and starting would be nice, but looking forward to either a satin clean cloat or shine juice on the patina and polishing the wheels.

Appreciate it. Looking forward to to it too, but dont want to lose focus on EgoBruise. Cheers!

Ive got plenty and I "ALMOST" went down that road last night, but figured getting if to run and stop to get it off the trailer is more important lol

@@HOUSEOFDULA oh, come on....just a little bit by the door jams.......you know you want to!😂

@@4eyefoxbodyfanclub625 Hell yeah, lol. I went down that road yesterday but talked myself out of it again...just out the bottle down, now is not the time.

Good question. I'll answer this on what I believe, but you might want to call Dakota Digital to confirm. This depends on your ECU. If your ECU has a VSS (speed sensor) then the BIM will pick it up the PID and allow that as an option for the speedo input. My ECU is a ford control pack, so just enough to run the run, but nothing else, no trans control, or speed control. Most ECUs, factory will know its speed from the VSS and send that signal to the Speedo. This is true for all the readings that go through or cant go through the ODB/BIM. If the engine's computer reads it it, the BIM will read it, like Oil press, engine temp, tach, Air temp, boost etc... Things that typically don't go through an ECU...Fuel level, typically separate from the ECU and goes through its own harness, indicator lights like turn signals, bright's indicator..things like that. One thing I love is the Check Engine Light, when thrown on the ECU will throw it up on the dash like a modern car. There really is nothing of this caliber like this on the market that can so quickly and easily convert your classic to a modern instrument cluster.

@@HOUSEOFDULA thanks

Yeah its a bit more for 86/86. I have a heater core vid for my 86 but its old, AND I reaplced the whole damn thing on the 86 as well (more not so fun). I learned a little more since. getting the blower off helps and is easy. Its not all that bad...the same mounting spots though apply to the 85/86 as the '79.

You bet! Glad it helps

Hes a great guy. Great company IMO.

Yeah with that you need to get creative lol Usually not too tight, mine was pretty loose so a broad large flathead worked. They do make a tool for it, ive never used it though. If you have a large and broad enough screwdriver you can typically reach both sides of the indentions. That or you can try a coin.

@@HOUSEOFDULA thanks for the reply man! That is what I was thinking too but I didn't have a flat head quite wide enough. I was also thinking a rag and some vise grips but I don't want to scratch it or break it. Just need to break it loose...

SWEET. Glad it can help someone out lol. I know this is a bit of a unique system being a 79-81. You are welcome! good luck with it.

@@HOUSEOFDULA what hanger are you using?

@@rickyberger458 So I cant confirm. I didnt buy the hanger. The tank came with it, but looks to be this one, if not, its extremely similar. www.highflowfuel.com/fuel-pump-hanger-oem-replacement-hfp-an50-h-0606-qfs/?sku=HFP-AN50-H-0606-BC&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwzIK1BhAuEiwAHQmU3tgBrVHSDrz_uN8nhw_Zr8S2Zl4DxogqO546lac2Y415eH4GmmoSTxoCPYAQAvD_BwE

Im not 100% certain since this came with the tank, but looks to be this one, if not similar to. www.highflowfuel.com/fuel-pump-performance-hfp-an525ft-0-qfs/ -8 is so overkill for a non-E85 4 cylinder. BUT at least It wont even under perform no matter what I throw at it.

So one issue I have is I cant stand back to look at the tanks "level" I think now after looking at it, after I posted the video, its lower where the sump is. I have a feeling massaging will need to be had as well. IDK if you massaged the tank itself of the body, I think i'll smack the sump corner a few times.

I massage the sheet metal of the car, the tank makes contact in the front and back of that opening iirc, so I had to hammer it upward to make a slight contour to allow the bigger “sump” upwards further

Mine have faded a bit, turned a little "gold" like the finish is coming off, but otherwise no complaints. Chrome I think would be a better finish anyway.

Well I appreciate that and appreciate the patience with it. I know it’s s little slow moving.

What year did yours come off of?

My son would say I YEETED it across the garage floor.

Yes they are aren’t they! I have not checked it, need to when i drop it to wire it next video

Good call! Will try

WHAT UP TOM! Thanks man

Thank you sir!

Yes they will...just use the updated part number I posted. The ones in the video were too short. I still have not plumbed my brakes but the length is fine.
