Okay, first off I'll be honest and tell you that this motor is going in a Ranger but most of its parts are from a Mustang and I have owned an '86. That being said my project is almost done. '88 EFI block, supposedly an '85 carbed D-port head but it has the extra hole for the EFI intake and an '82 2bbl intake with adaptor removed to run a 2bbl Autolite carb. First problem, I used the dipstick and tube from the '88 that comes up behind the breather but I have no place to bolt it. Right now it's tied to the valve cover. I tried the ranger tube that comes forward but it's not close to anything. Am I missing a bracket? Do I need a dipstick and tube for an '82 Mustang? Doesn't look like there's a place for it to bolt to the 2bbl intake though. Second problem, how does the pcv hook up on an '82 Mustang? I used the EFI hose from the crankcase vent up to the pcv valve. The intake has a 2-way vacuum port screwed into the #1 runner. I pulled the plastic 2 hose piece off the valve and planned on running the hose up past the intake and back down to the runner but it doesn't look right. Any pictures of the stock setup so I can see what parts I need. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've only ever messed with V8s and this is my first 4-cylinder build. The little things have been a nightmare, like trying to find metric carb studs to fit with the Autolite spacer.
