...swap out my 88 festiva engine and tranny for a 5 speed efi? Looks like no one wants to buy my 88 so while the body is in great condition I might as well keep it and just swap out the engine and trans. I can leave this over the summer with someone to do the work but would like to have it back by late fall. Let me know. Thanks, Jim Oh, I'm in southern lower Michigan, Jackson County.

Do you have all of the parts for the swap? A festy engine can be pulled in a matter of hours, but converting a carby to efi requires much more than just the engine. You will need all of the associated electronics.2002 Ford Mustang GT Mineral Grey 5 spd

I'm stupid. I did not realize this. Never mind. I thought it would be an easy swap to an efi.Originally posted by jjk1224 View PostComment

It’s alright! The swap is definitely not the most difficult thing to do, but it can become time consuming. I have never done it personally, but I think you would need the fuelpump/tank, engine harness, VAF, ECU and possible a few other small things. What’s wrong with your current engine that is making you consider the swap?Originally posted by jimdigs View Post2002 Ford Mustang GT Mineral Grey 5 spd

I agree .. takes a little more work but if you can gather all the parts needed it really isn't too hard to install. You just have to remove and replace a lot of stuff.Last edited by 1990new; 07-14-2018, 11:14 AM.Comment

I just don't like the carb. Don't know how to work on it to get it to run better. Only getting mid 30s mpg. Plus the clutch is slipping and I have never messed with clutches. And have the click noise when turning right.Originally posted by jjk1224 View PostComment
