My 85 GT

The conversion was a PITA at times but I'm happy that I saw it through. I also replaced the body harness with an aftermarket setup so that added a little extra drama to the project.

I may know how fun it can be. I stuck a '96 Vortec fuel injected engine and trans into a 72 Chevy using all factory wiring and ecm ;-) There's a butt load of wires huh? LOL

Yea, I'm sure you'll like it much more than carbed, that is if you don't unload it.

Yeah it was ALOT of soldering- LOL. The car is great but my buddy wants it and I need to get something for my son to drive back/ forth to college. The Stang is just gonna have to go bye- bye. On a positive note- Having this car done will allow me to get back to my notch which has been sitting on the sidelines for way too long. The EFI conversion was definitely worth it- just trying at times.

Did you ever crack the rear suspension bolts loose with the car resting on the ground?

I ended up cutting another full round off the rear springs and now it sits nice. I'm thinking my buddy may have sold me some later model springs instead of FOX body springs like he thought he had, therefore the rear ride height was jacked up. I think the later model springs are slightly taller than the FOX springs. I just took his word that they were for a FOX without measuring them. Simple mistake.
