Uses of a Mercury Grand Marguis 1988 5.0 v8
 

I was wondering if I could use the bottom end of a Mercury Grand Marguis 1988 5.0 v8. I would use a 331 stroker kite from Sckat with a set of Pro comp alm. heads(65cc).and the following:

-24lbs injectors
-upper and bottom intake manifold from an 93 GT
-65mm Throttle
-72 mm Mass air
-Timing cover from an 93 GT
-E303 cam
-65mm EGR spacer
-Monster miata oil pan
-93 high volume water pump(cobra?)
-V6 mustang alternator(G3 type, 1 wire)
-v6 mustang starter (PM type, 1 wire)
-Fox body power steering/AC bracket and AC rear bracket
-Fox body AC compreessor
-MSD bullet distributor
-New light weight flywheel and Exedy stange 2 clutch kit
-T-5 tranny with shifter and custom drive shaft
-7.5 limited sip 3.27 rear end and new half shafts
-McCully Racing modified v8 conversion harness
-McCully Racing pretapped thermostats hosing

Main question is will all this work with the Mercury Grand Marguis 1988 5.0 v8 bottom end?

Nice to see you found this site as well. I'm MSC302 over at the other site. Fortunately over here I'm also allowed to tell you that I sell a aluminum driveshaft that you'll need as well. It only weighs 11 pounds and is rather, even according to my wife, "pretty".

Feel free to call with any V8 Miata questions,

@ Jason, LMAO


What subframe do you use The Monster Miata or did you fab one up?

I've used the Monster Miata modded one for the last 4 builds since it works well with his headers. If I were to want to use a set of headers that do not route like his I would use a bare V8 Roadsters tubular subframe and have Ford mounts welded on. We may be doing this as a retro fit for one customer of ours.

Just an FYI- most of the same people on M.net also look here, minus a few.

On here we have a bit more freedom.... Especially with a grade school teacher as our admin :p
