I know its been done alot before but I'm looking for info on putting a 5.0L and AOD into a 66 coupe. Any links or info would be appreciated. No doubt it has been an article in M&F's or MM. If any one had details on issues and where I could get them that would be a great help.

Cheers

Bart.  I put a 5.0 from ford racing in my 65 fastback.  I went with carb instead of fuel injection because of application and race preference.  However, it's not a difficult swap but a bit more detail if you go with fuel injection.  Contact K.A.R. Auto Group Inc. @ 1-800-341-5949.  I have met with these guys when I make my trip to Carisle Ford Nationals.  They have experience with what you want to do and are a great resource in all aspects of the conversion. They have done it enough times to get it right and can save you money and time.  Good luck  

I am about to start on my 67 fairlane. I am seriously considering a fuel injection system from massfloefi.com. I am also considering an overdrive unit from Gear Vendors. It is slightly more money up front, but you are starting with new parts with a warranty and almost stock look. Anyone else?  

We have the Mass-Flo system on our Factory Five Cobra project and we're very happy with it. Easy install, easy wiring, and no emissions stuff to prune out with resistors like using a stock harness...

As for the Gear-Vendors, it's a nice, solid unit that will take all the power you throw at it. A Fairlane should not be a problem, but some cars the tunnel size and overall wheelbase make it a tight fit. It's a cool feature to be able to split gears, plus you can keep that cool four-speed sound and feel.

The other option is a modern five-speed too, about the same price overall, but a bit more work involved. They both have their merits...

HTH...
