4 cyl, to v-8 conversion

89lx5.0 · May 22nd, 2011, 03:23 PM

hello, have had a profile on here for awhile, haven't been on in awhile though, i was doing a turbo 2.3 swap into my 90 notch and had a different sight with info for that one, (fun little car now) so now onto my other project, it's an 88 notch i bought for 250 a few years ago, was painted with a brush in baby blue house paint lol. i have completely stripped it down, put in S/F connectors, inner rocker supports. manual rack. 5 lug sn95 stuff, new suspension, all that. painted it. now i am in the process of gathering all the parts i need to swap it to 5.0.
i have found the fuel lines used local (50 bucks)
got the vacuum tree
vacuum can in inner passenger side fender (the coffee can looking one)
got a short block, gettign ready to tear it down and look at the condition, to see if it needs any machine work.
got a wiring harness from an 89,
still need the computer
buddy is rebuilding some e-7's (ya i know they are junk but something to start with) for me.
got the T-5 and associated pieces
plus numerous other parts. i guess mostly what i need are any advice from people who have done the swap. and possibly information on how all the vacuum lines/wiring/and hoses where routed stock.... anybody got any good resources for this stuff?
thanks
