not for the MIL's, but for the front pair of O2 sensors since the collector pipe is further back...

you need:
long tube headers
short mid pipe
oxygen sensor extender harness
mil eliminator harness
new manifold gaskets and hardware
and get the tune!

so do you keep the O2 sensors closest to the engine and use MIL elims for the 2 further back? or what?

Lol If i do it, I got a buddy of mine who was a service manager/Mechanic for Ford for 20 years. He just opened up a shop for classic car restoration and Performance parts ( Obviously he specializes in Fords and Mustangs). He will probably do it for me since he has a *hitload of tools and experience. Right now he has a 1967 Shelby GT 500 KR with the 427 Cobra Jet that he's working on. It is soooooooooooo sick. I'll get some pics next time I go up there.

you keep all 4 sensors. you plug an extender harness between the sensor and the engine bay harness for the front pair to elongate the wiring. you plug in a MIL harness between the rear pair sensors and the rear harness located just behind and tucked up to the body. you will see when you get under the car- very straight-forward

As much as I would love to do that, I work about 50+ hours a week myself so the rare event that I get a day off, I'd rather go out with friends or do something before work creeps back up.
