So I have been playing around... here is where I am at now!

Just wanted to update a little status report.

The Mustang is being driven Daily now... and it is not doing too bad.
The temps have fallen here... so things are running cooler.

No more oil troubles, going to tune and tweak again this weekend.
But for the most part things are running sweet. I have made arrangements to Film the car this weekend. Shooting on MiniDV and gonna make some quicktimes. (Will need help posting them, but I think it should be fun to see and hear the car.)


Also decided to drop the EFI for now... it would take some serious modification and I am thinking about getting the larger 500 cfm Holley... I need more air flow. The larger venturi is what the doctor ordered.

Jimbo, Mustangsix,

We have the commander 950 and she will control air/fuel and spark. She will only do spark IF you have a TFI unit. We have a hybrid 200/300 TFi unit being put together at the shop as I write this. we are fabricating only one dizzy for now. We're using the MSD 6A between the computer and dizzy/coil. All this on Kyle's 81 block with Ozz head. We used the 253 Holden adapter from Azcoupe and I custom ordered a Holley two barrel adapter for the TBI unit. I had to grind out the Holden adapter to match the bottom of the Holley adapter and the top of the intake which was also ground out quit a bit. A pic of the two adapters in place

So nice to sit inside the car with the laptop and dial in your fuel curve and spark advance ! You may now drool

Cheers Mike

(Early 1969 to 1980 253 Holden V8's ran the same Bendix Stromberg 2-bbl carb as the 250 2V and 302C 2V Fords. This is because Aussie was only a small market, and Chrysler was busy using Carter 2-bbls for nearly all its local 2-bbl sixes and imported v8's.

In Oz Redline make an adaptor to make the BS (? ) fit the common Autolite/Motorcraft/#2300 Holley bolt pattern carbs, but its sized for a smaller 350 cfm carb, and needs just a little grinding to fit the bigger 500 2-bbl, or Commander 950 EFI. This is what mikenson is on about.

Do I get a nice pat, and a dog biscuit? )

Mike,

Let us know how that works. I'm looking at that, mainly for more simplicity, but then again, I kind of like my carbs...in a sick kind of way.

Also, what would you do with the O2 sensor if running dual exhaust, or does it matter (it seems to me it wouldn't matter).

From what you said, it still seems like you have to have some sort of 4V adaptor.

I had to wipe the tears from my eyes and pick my mouth up off the floor.


That looks sweet.

A little over my head, but sweet...
this would take some looking into before I could consider it.

seems like a nice addition to the engine, but more than I can figure out right now.

I'm not sure where I would even start.

We need Fingers to post a pic of the mechanical 2V fuel injection manifold. I guess you could power it with a drive adapted from a Triumph 2500 six. The two guys who were toying with EFI 2Vs here all went crossflow in the end - easier. :roll:

what about making it pc controled and carbed at the same time ? kinda like the 1985 ford vans and I think 19??-84 mustangs ?prolly wouldn`t be worth it but it would still be kinda neet

Guys,

The top plate is the Holley TBI 2 barrel adapter. (In the kit that comes with the Commander 950, you get a square bore and 4 barrel adapter). The Redline adapter, (good guess gum-boot) is seen under the holley plate seperated by the gasket (black). Installation is easy now. Bolt the Redline adapter (#10-233) to the new and improved single oval hole intake, then using modified allen head bolts, bolt the holley adapter on top of the Redliine. The top of the allen heads seat below the Holley plates surface allowing the TBI unit to fit perfectly.

Slade,

Good catch on the O2. I thought it wouldn't matter at first, but then again, I would likely get a cylinder or two running rich out one collector.. and the sensor would be mounted in the other collector. SO.. I'm thinking since we have Azcoupes pacemaker, I'll weld the bung into the y pipe.

Cheers MIke

I'm sure there's a way to wire up two sensors. I'm going to be running dual exhaust, so running 1 sensor is worthless.

Just out of curiosity, would this be able to do blow-thru turbo applications? hehehehe...

the older 5.0 mustangs with fuel injection only have one o2 sensor on one of the headers but the newer ones starting in 1995 have two o2 sensors . with TBI you should only need one

I guess if you did batch fire with Megasquirt, and places batch #1 on cylinders 1-2-3 and #2 4,5,6, then you could hook up a O2 sensor for with header. It would work for the firing order too to alternate the batch firing. Not sure is MS could support that though.
