Guest fist302 Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 What is needed to convert a 5.0 Mustang with speed density to a carb setup? I am trying to decide what i am going to do about the speed density in my car. Going to MAF is fine but expensive and i will have to get it tuned. Anybody done the conversion? What do i need besides obviously a carb and intake manifold? Any big downsides to going carb? I dont mind having to adjust/tune it some infact i like the idea. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stimmel1647545512 Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 different distrbutor, different fuel pump set up or a regulator to scale down since carbs only need around 14psi max, depending on what you want to do its not bad, my white vert you saw is an 88 as well its going maf when i get home from dc, get a computer and buy a jumper harness at jegs and get a junkyard maf cheap as hell and cheaper that going carb, you have that nice gt40 intake to go on your car too right? ha let me know if you need any more help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1647545494 Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 lower intake, carb, distributor, ignition box, low pressure fuel pump, new air cleaner, etc you can find a computer and harness cheaper if you keep an eye out and go mass air Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest fist302 Posted June 14, 2009 Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 Cool, i still might go MAf i am just weighing in my options. Whats a good Carb/intake setup for mild 5.0s? I will prolly have a mild cam and gt40p heads when its all said and done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Removed Posted June 14, 2009 Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 650 carb, and a nice high rise dual plane...like the edelchoke air gap. just get a harness and ecu from a later car(like a a9l). injectors and maf and intake hose can be found easy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
