I seardhed through the archives for some EFI conversion tips on a '65 Stang. I think that I'm doing something wrong on the search, because I'm sure that there has been plenty of questions asked about this.I have considered doing the swap. One of my delimas is that I don't want to just put a stock 5.0 intake and injection on my motor. If I'm going to wind up buying preformce stuff, should I just start from scrath? Do I even need to buy any thing off of a 5.0?
The second delima I have is that I know very little about injection. What all do I need to make it work? Do I need the computer or just a hot wire? Is it worth screwing with? I've had the some Holley 750 for about 8 years now with no trouble. One of the reasons that I'm iterested in the injection is because (provided I have the money when it comes time) I want to get a SC.  Any input would be greatly appreciated. Kirk.

Unless you know what you're doing you don't want to tackle that project, because you need a complete EFI wiring harness with PCM exhaust for O2 sensors, high pressure fuel pump with return line to tank etc. Call Holley about one of their systems. It's a lot more user friendly than trying to use OEM stuff. Be prepared for sticker shock when you check the price.

I'm scratching my head on a '95 stang efi problem and wondering why any sane person would want to put that sh!t in a nice '65 stang.  Don't go there! SteveW

Doing it in a 68 cv. Initially going with AOD, too, but decided that my city and x-way driving plus an occassional jaunt didn't warrant the expense and whatever of doing that. Have a 91 mass air setup but would have gone with Explorer intakes had I known more when getting what I have. Also, Painless wiring is the way to fly, but I have a complete harness and a local tech said it's not that hard to do. '95's are a different story and not good conversion material. Wouldn't have even bothered with serpentine but I bought that also, so will use it. The later compressor is better, though, so should get good ac output. I have an all around good ratio rear for a C-4 (9" 3:25). Had I gone with AOD would have used an 8" traction lok 3:50. A friend is buying that with labor and know how. Why am I doing it?? For the same reason that others build up engines.....cause I want to.
