Well the beast finally came to life today! I got it fired up without much hassle, although it is not running quite right, seems like a vacum leak but i can't see it being that. Still have lots to do and check out, brakes, ect. but the main thing is that she runs! It is a nice feeling but will be nicer when i drive it.

Well my 1994 evtm has arrived in the mail so i have both now, so thanks John and Sean but i should be fine now. I wasn't sure how relays worked before but have it figured out now. I should have the time to do those on wednesday, still a couple of loose ends to tie up too, have to extend the return fuel line but it is close. Can't wait to fire this thing up..

I have a copy of the ford cd for 93-94. The only problem is getting it to you as the file size is 355.4MB compressed. If anyone has any thoughts?

Yes it is, the ccrm does the fuel pump, pcm wot a/c relays. I removed it and intstalled the 5.0 ignition box in its place. From what i am told you have to run the pcm relay near that box off the 156 plug and have that wired to the fuel pump relay set up near the pcm using the #22 and # 8 pinout from the connector. I am close to figuring this out but really nead the evtm for the 94 car. Thanks, Mark.

the ECU relay is part of the 89-93 fuse box on none SCed car and the WOT cutout relay is behind the passenger strut tower.. and both of these Items are part of the CCM on the SCed cars (or any car with an Electric fan for that matter)
And maybe on the '94+ cars the fuel pump relay is in the CCM too?? (in my '96 it supposedly is?)

Now wiring in the CCM to work with the 93 5.0L Harness may be interesting, but do able.. Hopefully you get the schematic soon too.. I...

I am using a 93 5.0 mn 12 engine harness but using the original 94 style fuse block.

What underhood / engine harnesses are you running/using??

Re: Engine in finally!

feeds@yuku.com (Pro SC ) — Sun, 04 May 2008 07:26:45 GMT

Well i haven't posted for a while so i thought i would do an update. Okay all the wiring is done, except i have to fab up a fuel pump, pcm and a/c wot relays. The set up is different in the 94 up cars and i need to do this to make her run. I have an evtm for the year of harness but still awaiting one for the year of car. It is kinda complicated and i can't even fully read a wiring schematic so it only looks more confusing. I am starting on that as soon as i get my fresh rebuilt 3.73...

Okay there is a little progress. Removed the SC engine harness and pcm. Installed the 5.0 harness but have alot to hook up. Headers are installed, accessory brackets and so on. I replaced the entire underhood ac system with new components (Ford), i still have to powder coat the steel pulleys and i am awaiting the rad to come back from getting recored. It is starting to take shape......

Hey Tony, Yes we did talk about the Javelin before, checked out your thread. The AMX really looks cool and it was a great car to restore. You are doing it right and it is better to miss the show doing it that way instead of rushing the job. I will have to check it out once its done.

Yup the "Rumbler"...I think we talked about your Javy a while ago. If you're interested here is the link to the thread with updates as to what I've been working on.

Ahhh, the Rambler! I thought parts were hard to find for this car! When i had my 69 Javelin in high school, parts were hard to find then and i am 45 now! This project i am doing is by know means a restoration, but the engine compartment will be nice and i am hoping that the car will make a nice driver....

My car is a nut and bolt restoration of a 1970 AMX. So hopefully when every bolt gets done I won't have to fix something else! My deadline was more so I could attend a national show at the end of July. Unfortunately I doubt the car will be done.

Ohh, i did not know that, maybe thats the problem the guy was having before. The mounts i got worked so that was the main thing.

Now on the topic at hand...

I can not see a issue with fitting a 5L into a V6 car in anyway.... NOW if you have a '93+ car.. you may be SOL unless you can find a 93 5.0L T-bird or Cougar to take those mounts out of.. '89-92 is one subframe, 93-97 is another...

And looking good so far thou

I know what you mean, this project has had its share of delays too... kinda inevitable it seems. Well when i get in touch with John, i have to get a traction lock pumpkin from him and i am going to take it in to a shop. have new clutch's installed and seals, bearings ect. Then install that, put the tank back in,( installed a 255 lph walbro pump). While i am waiting for that, hopefully i will have the rest of it together and be able to fire it up. I am expecting some bugs will be needed to...

Making set dates for when a project car will be finished is just WRONG.. they hardly, if ever, happen

Also Project cars are never done really... once one thing is done.. then it's something else that needs improvement.. after that improvement, something else needs to be improved to match that one, and so forth.. THEN you get bored of of the power it orginally had, and you tear apart the engine.. you redo the...

Looks good, when are you planning to have the car on the road? My project car was to be on the road by the end of June but it's not looking good...too many delays!

I bought these JBA 1-5/8" shorty headers last fall on ebay. They are used and could use some refinishing work so i decided to powder coat them in a high temp silver that is good for 1200 degree's.

After being media blasted with aluminum oxide blasting media and hanging in the spray booth.

Well after many delays and finding hard to get parts, i have installed the 5.0 engine into my 94 S/C . The engine has fresh rebuilt GT 40 iron heads, a ford racing e-303 camshaft installed, advanced 2 degrees, with a ford racing multi index timing chain. I have the GT 40 a-50 lower intake installed right now with a 95 cobra upper and 65mm t/b to be bolted on after all the wiring, ect. is hooked up....
