Exhaust Port Spacing
 

Just to confirm again, this Turbo Kit I'm looking at is designed for a 94/95 5.0. The exhaust ports on that motor are the same as what we have right?

Correct. The main difference between the Fox body (87-93) and the SN95 (94-95 with the 5.0) is the SN95 has less room in the engine compartment so it uses a different intake mainfold.

That's kinda good news if the kit is made to fit a smaller compartment. We should be able to fit it. . . . Let see where the price goes, if it sky rockets past $1,000 I'll punt. I talked to bgn8711 about the Turbo (Steve is absent) and he said it's a fairly decent size moderate turbo, plenty big for 12+psi on our motor, possibly up to 20psi he thinks.

Cool. I started sizing up the engine in the car last night until it got too windy. I pulled the crank out of my engine so I could pick it up easier and then installed the oil pan. My hoist is at Phil's house so I had to lift it up and set it in the car by hand. I set it down in the engine bay and then put a jack under the front and rear of the pan and lifted it to clear the crossmember. It looks like we might be able to use factory Mustang motor mounts so I went by GTR today and barrowed a set they had. I'm going to try to get them on the engine tonight and see if they'll work but Phil and I are also rebuilding my transfer case tonight so it might be tomorrow before I get to it.

I'll second the Victor Jr. Be sure to port match that sucker before you bolt it on, or buy a CNC'd version meant for the correct heads. I removed a lot of material from the ports on my Victor, opened them up a bunch.

Another mod that I did after the MagnaDynoDay. I did a nice job on mine, sure there are pics on my other comp somewhere. But anyone with a dremel can do a port match really.

Steve's Turbo Eval
 

I PM'd CornFed about that kit, here's what he said:

Carbs:
 

Forgot to mention 10 pages back, annular vs downleg boosters and carb 'size' can affect tuning. Some 750s are bigger than other 750s, as funny as that sounds.

Annular boosters are supposed to help atomize the fuel better at idle which helps throttle response on cars with big lopey cams and low vacuum. We have a small cam that will have plenty of vacuum at idle so I think our throttle response will be great.

As I suspected, it crossed my budgetary limit, I was getting kinda excited too. Back to looking for parts for the 174.

I'll be going to the Big 3 Auto Swapmeet in San Diego next week. I'll be looking there. It's an annual swapmeet that usually has alot of good stuff.
