As been mentioned, I plan to use the 7.3L Godzilla coils for my coil near plug setup. There are options out there to mount coils on a SBF but they are quite expensive. While I like the idea of welding bolt pads onto of the valve covers I didn't want to mess up the brand new trick flow coils and I haven't welded aluminum before. So that leaves a bolt on option. My plan is to design a plate and then use standoffs to mount it above the valve cover. After a little bit of cardboard aided design and transferring it to Fusion 360, I got this: I have really come to like designing in Fusion 360 and then uploading to SendCutSend to get plates cut. Along with parts from McMaster-Carr I get this awesome looking setup. I think this really turned out great. Now this does require an intake manifold spacer, which I already had installed.

I don't see this as a 'weight/balance' issue, since all wheels are being added weight to the balancer, and I doubt any of them are 'balanced'.

I've been thinking about taking my old balancer(stock), 351w and have this done at a local machine shop if possible.

Honestly I never looked into cutting "triggers"' into the balancer itself. The crankshaft sensor would have to be spaced out, which is easy. But something that would have to be done.

Yea I bet most are not balanced. I know I haven't balanced mine and am trying to figure out if it's needed when it's mounted inside the dampener close to the engine.

Starting to make good progress on this. Most of the big items are complete or in work. Coil bracket was ordered from SendCutSend today.

Hard at work getting the ECU fender harness finished. I'm using a 94 Mustang V6 fender harness as my base and stealing wires from a later Mustang 4.6L to add to it. You may ask why not start with the V8 harness? Well I had already started modifying the V6 harness since I had it laying around from the engine swap. Plus I know this harness fits the car since it came out of the car. The later V8 harness had the CCRM in the fender well instead of at the engine fan and maybe a few other things were different. But overall it was pretty easy to grab a few wires and change over. This harness I am almost done with.

The engine harness I will be using the factory Mustang 5.0L harness and add wires for coils, cam sync, and crankshaft position. Sounds pretty easy. I will also remove the wires for the distributor, which are no longer needed.

You'll see two books on the table, they are Ford Service Wiring Diagrams. These are invaluable if you plan to do any electrical troubleshooting or electrical rework like this. You can find these occasionally for sale on eBay. I have a book for 94 Mustang and 03 Crown Vic/Grand Marquis/Town Car.

Engine coolant temperature - Pinout says pin 42 and 66, which one?

I'll update this thread with as much detail as possible. But if you're a visual learner I'll also have videos on my YouTube channel (RinerAutomotive) coming soon.

I'm finally getting back on this topic and think I'm better prepared this year to complete it.

I've designed, cut, and machined a trigger wheel to fit on the stock SN95 harmonic dampener. The back of the dampener was machined to accomplish a press on fit of the trigger wheel. The machined surface ends 1.7" from inside end of the dampener. This put the trigger wheel in the center of the explorer crank sensor when using the explorer timing cover. I've started design of my coil brackets. They will mount above the valve covers using stand off on the valve cover mounting studs. Coils will be Ford Godzilla coils with LS plug wires. I'm using trick flow valve covers and can't bring myself to grind and weld on them at the moment. Hence the bolt on solution for coil brackets.

I think the fan controller would be a nice to have/future upgrade.

For now I'll stick with the simple Pin28 patch.

Thanks.

Anyone know how PIN 28 for the Engine Cooling Fan Motor Control works for the luxury ECU or how to implement it when not using the luxury engine fan?

Installing in a SN95 mustang and it has 3 wires between EEC and CCRM for fan monitor input, high fan control output, and low fan control output

Happy New Year. this is going to be the year I get the 302W running on EECV
