really nice LX you have there. it also looks like you used the same spray paint for that hood panel above the grille too. Duplicolor truck and suv paint, right?
1985 Ford LTD LX. 4 eyes, 4 doors-cobra powered
2006 Ford F-150 Ashley/Smith special edition--the "daily driver"
1986 ford mustang SVO--a man can always dream right?
ive got a 85...(will post pics later)...ex cop car 5.0 colum shift...and i wana put headers and dual exhaust from a mustang on it....will it work with the shift linkage?
The hood panel had already been done in the charcoal, but had alot of chips on it. Duplicolor trim paint - semi gloss black.
Mine currently has the shorty's on it with the Mustang 4 cat duals. You will need to get some extensions made from the end of the pipes to the mufflers as these cars have a longer wheelbase. I don't know about the column shift linkage, but I would think it should work.
It will have (when I have the disposable income again) long tubes/Off road x-pipe & nice stainless tails.
That is very nice looking, I like the grey body color, I have not seen a LX in grey, Ive only seen them in black or whiteMy 85 LTD LX that I found on here a couple of years ago. When this pic was taken all I had done is paint the front & rear trim to semi-gloss black & install my ARE rims from my Capri.
I'm holdin on your rope, got me 10 feet off the ground
cant figure out how to post the big pixs...can anyone tell me how?
If I recall correctly, the 84's came in White/Black & Light Blue. The 85's came in White / Black & this Grey (I don't even remember the name of the color!). I have a buddy that went with me when I bought it, that has always told me I should paint it black. I told him "no, then it would look like a 4 dr. Grand National!
Eventually the time will come to paint it (everything BUT the roof was done by a previous owner), but I think it will remain that hue.
Are the pics on your computer? or on a service like Photobucket?

my fuel pump is in the way of the passenger side muffler....can i move it anywhere else to make room?Mine currently has the shorty's on it with the Mustang 4 cat duals.

Hmmm, don't really know on that. it looks like it may be missing some code. you could try a hosting site (such as Photobucket, etc..) & then try posting. I put all of mine there, although I also have copys on my 'puter.
Nevermind, now they're working. Although the second one is smaller. Car looks to be in pretty decent shape for an SSP!

went to tinypic.com
I'm pretty sure that mine is still located there as well, I'll have to take a look in the AM & get back to you.
yes you can do a single fuel pump conversion like LTDScott did:

ok i didnt know it came with 2 pumps and not one....learned somethin new today
have any pics of how exhaust is routed?Posted these before but................
THANKS! I was under my 85 the other day and was wondering if I would run into this issue once I swap everything because my I was going to use the factory setup from that on the 83.
I was contemplating actually waiting until I can afford to do a fuel cell to make clearance for the duals and put my inline farther up the car. Sucks cause now I have an inline Walbro 255 for my 85 that I won't be using. I do, however, still have my 255 from my old car. It's from a Probe GT... I'll post in that thread if it works!
Where do you guys find the muffler hangers that bolt to the upper control arm brackets for the passenger side when running duals? Is there a place that sells them?
Jeremy
are these what you are lookin for
http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/...uffler-Hangers
oh and when changing from the cfi(i think thats what its called) to a efi what all do you need to make the change?
CFI?
And yes, thank you much for the link!!! They have tail pipe hangers too... Score!
Jeremy
yea 85 had what looks like a carb but has 2 injectors in it and im wanting to either put a mustang efi intake or a truck 5.0 intake on it with the twin butterflies......didnt know if my stock ecm and harness would work of if i was goint to have one out the donor vehicle...and also if my fuel pump would be strong enough to fuel 8 injectors instead of 2
I just call it TBI even though that's a Chevy term... It's the same concept.
I'd say you'd be ok on the fuel pump part as long as it's not a built motor. You'd need the ECM from the donor car... They are very similar, you can actually plug your ECM into the V6 harness, but the V6 harness doesn't have the pinouts for the other 2 injectors and the V6 ECU probably doesn't have the driver for the 2 injectors and definitely doesn't have the air/fuel or spark maps for the V8.
Jeremy
ok im geting me a 93 302 roller motor that is tore down and has everything to put back except harness and fuel stuff plus the guy has a 91 roller bare block with main caps that im goin to get this weekend....he made me a deal i just couldent pass up
and yea it looks just lite the tbi...but this bein a ford forum i didnt wana say the ''c'' word
