I had built my T bucket over a year ago and it was running great. It had a Ford 302 in it with a patched up stock computer running multiport EFI. Buut, I came across a 1993 Lincoln Mark VIII basically for free. It had been hit in the right front, but it was fairly complete. I wasn’t familiar with the dual cam motors, but after doing a little digging, found that it was an all aluminum motor and they were pretty stout. I thought it might be cool in the T bucket. So I did the transplant, built a Megasquirt to run the fuel and spark. I also came across an old style 6-71 GMC blower. After some mocking up and parts gathering, I was able to mount it to the 4.6 using a 96-98 Cobra lower intake manifold. This allowed me to use the stock injector locations and have the blower running "dry" The bugcatcher is the actual throttle blade (the two outer butterflies are closed off on the inside)
The MS build went great. I had never done anything like it, but did a lot of reading of the megamanual and asked some questions on the forums.
Running the EDIS-8 system off the MS was suoer slick, especially since the motor was already setup for it.
Heres a video of the start up. This was the second try. The first try, the throttle blades were set too far open and it revved pretty high, so I shut it down.
