I tried posting this at the end of an old thread of mine but it didn’t get any responses so I am gana try this again.
I am trying to sort out the details on the next mods that I am looking to do.
Going to be honest and say that it won’t be done until mid to late summer 2 reasons 1 don’t have a job right now and need a little more money, have about enough money for the work now but if have other expenses that I need to cover so I cant go blowing it all now. 2 don’t really have the time to do this kind of work till then.
However, I need to get the plan set up so that can start colleting parts.
So I am looking for options on this and what else should be done at the same time.

* windstar upper (however since I am staying NA don’t know if a P&P upper will also be just as good.)
*all the odds and ends to make the windstar work (pcv delete, egr delete, tb, custom cai, iac relocation, bent full rails, custom brackets for the throttle cable and coil pack, and other little thing.)
*P&P lower
*SSMS stage 2+ heads ( I’m thinking not sure if it is worth going up to the stage 3 for an NA)
*8mm valves
*new springs (not sure on the exact specs)
*new lifters
*hardened push rods
*comp cams ideal geometry adjustable 1.7 RR
*218/224 cam (not positive but still need to make a couple calls to get the exact specs down)
*toque converter
*battery relocation
*relocate the rad overflow tank to make room for custom cai for the windstar upper
*dyno tune


I an interested in what your options on this. Also if u think that there is any thing else you would recommend doing while I am do this, also wondering if I will be needing to upgrade my fuel system or will the stock still be good this point.

Thanks in advance

you will want to make sure that you have either 19# or 24# injectors to make the best of that set up... if you can get your car dyno tuned you could possibly see some very nice numbers and maybe even be able to run with some GTs

ya my thoughts exactaly
and ya if i have the mony i might step up to the #24 injectors but my stock ones are #19 so i should be fine if i don't upgrade them at this time

[Onemanzu]

Does anybody know advantages/ disadvantages of windstar upper vs. just a P&P ed stock upper for a car that is staying all motor, no power address?
