...and that's draggin' my feet Don.

I did a full swap-out of suspensions between my 86 Vert and my 90 LX parts car in 1 day.

I also would like to do a swap. My auto just went out for the second time in 2 years. Are you for real about doing it for 275. If so let me know. I leave in the bay area. Where do you live?

So I'm guessing the pedal assembly is the hardest thing to find. Is there anywhere besides the wrecking yard to get them.

Posted by JohnB (Member # 969) on :
 
Yes, the pedal assy is about the toughest thing to find. Save yourself the time and hassle of searching for parts and buy a complete kit from someone or a company.
And yes, I'm real about doing it for $275. I've done a few swaps for my own cars, not to mention cars here on the board.

Edit: I'm in Fairfield.

91 5.0,

I live in the 94531 too. How much would you charge me for labor. I got an appt. to have my AODE rebuilt w/3000 stall convertor on 9/23.

Yeah, youre from Brentwood right? 275 is about what I would charge too. It takes 1-2 days to do. I got my pedal assembly off of ebay. Cost about 70-80 bucks. What year is your car, ive only done this on fox bodies.

Anyone who is interested in work, please PM me..thanks!

I'm from Antioch... I have a green 94 convert.

I have an appt. at Walnut Creek Trans tomorrow to have my tranny rebuilt for more performance plus a 3000 Emerald converter.

Thanks though.

Tony

john b you ever done a auto to 5sp swap on a 4.6?is that price just on fox bodies or modulars as well?
 

---

Posted by JohnB (Member # 969) on :
 
Yes, I have done a 4.6 swap. Same price.

John B.

If you have done tranny swaps on 4.6s how do you fix the "check engine light" problem?
 

---

Posted by JohnB (Member # 969) on :
 
A change in the EEC must be made to correct this problem. The "check engine" light illuminates because the Computer is looking for a reading/shift point from the tranny.

When I do this swap, I advise the owner to get it taken care of via a re-program, Tuner, or when it's dyno'd the next time.

4.6 you need to either switch to a 5sp computer and go to dealer to have them reprogram your pats system,or have fordchip send you a chip.John b i'll get back to you i might need a while to get all my parts located
