Anyone know of this "Kit"? I mean is it a legit unit?

Sure would beat the heck outta getting used parts....Although I have started a small collection myself...

You can chime in at anytime there Conanski....lol

Yep, got it on my 1990, it's been on it for 250,000 miles.

 

Ford Racing made two kits, one for an AOD tranny and one for a manual tranny. The kits consisted of a conversion harness, Mustang CPU, a MAF sensor, and some air intake plumbing. As I remember the kits were about $500. They were the T50 and T51. Here is the links to the T50 and T51:

When Ford stopped offering the kits, the sold their excess stock to Dunne Rite automotive. Dunne Rite along with several other retailers still sell complete or partial kits at much higher prices.

It is much cheaper and very easy to make your own with the exception of the plumbing.

If you want to buy from a retailer try:

How hard is it to swap a 300 from EFI to MAF?.....I had a MAF airbox, and hoses GAVE to me, it came off a 95' 302/E4OD.......

Wow.....didn't know they were that....."Out there"...lol

whats the advantage of switching to MAF? was thinking about doing it but never really understood the point

 

I don't know.

It all boils down to finding a MAF computer that supports you 300/tranny combination and knowing the pinouts. Maybe a '96 300 truck computer?

The nice thing about the 302 conversions is that it is based on the Mustang computer. It provides better gas mileage and more zip from a more advanced timing curve.

Good luck!

 

Basically, you can tinker more with MAF, than trying to do the same to a SD engine....

 

ahh. cool thanks man

 

What all are you doing that will need a MAF swap? Cam?

 

1) A little better mileage

2) A bit more zip from an advanced timing curve

3) The ability to change the cpu programming with 3rd party tools

4) As the engine ages the MAF can compensate, SD cannot.

5) The ability to add engine components that SD cannot support such as heads and cams.

MAF measures the air flow though the computer. It knows the exact amount of fuel needed for the amount of air.

SD cannot know the amount of air. It can only guess based on the known flow rates of the components and displacement of a new unmodified engine. It uses vacuum as the variable. As flow rates and displacement changes from age or modifications, it gets confused providing the wrong amount of fuel.

 

What he said ^....lol

so, all this can be done with < 200 bucks (not talkin bout the complete ford kit, but scavenging parts/buying the layover harness) ? and can the mustang comp be tuned to work w/ a 460?

 

Yeah I have one of the Ford kits, bought it maybe 12-15 years ago and it's been performing well ever since. It cost me a lot more than $500 however.. more like $1000, but at the time the Canadian dollar was only worth about $0.70 to the Greenback and I get to pay all our lovely provincial and federal taxes on items like this.

This kit will work on any truck with a V8 and either a manual or non computer controlled automatic, though a tuner like the Moates Quarterhorse or TweecerRT is also required to make it work with a 460.. stock or otherwise.

 

what about scavenging the MAF conversion components out of an explorer? would beat tryin to hunt down mustang parts. not to mention, i think im leanin toward 351 stroker, so ill be tearin some gt40p heads off an explorer so ill already be in there and greasy.

 

An Explorer could make a parts donor but you have to remember everything after 1996 was OBD-2 so the EFi system is much more complicated than it is in the early trucks and Mustangs, more wires, more sensors, more everything, and the early truck motors will not even have a place to put some of these sensors, so you have to make a place for them or figure out how to eliminate them.
