savage wolf,
Re: Air Conditioning..........................

Since I was moving down to Phoenix, Arizona, I had not choice, but to get some type of AC system setup.

Anyway, I got a complete Short Front ACC kit from a 1994 Mustang 5.0 including R-134 Compressor. I took off all my old 89-93 stang 5.0 Accessorries, and instaled the 94+. The Air COmpressor fit, but I had to grind down some of the edges and bolt on the lower part of the bracket. I used a AC hose from a 1995 Cobra 5.0 mustang. This hose required a lot of bending to hook up to the explorer AC radiator. (whatever ya call it)

The biggest problem was the smog pump. Definately a no go. It came out right in the frame rail. no way around it. Anyway after cuting the factory bracket about 6 inches and making some new metal extension arms, I was able to fit the smog pump in there. The move also required a slighly larger belt. Anyway, Everything works fine, blows nice and cold. A better write-up with pictures will follow.

Good Luck............. and remember, it can be done.

Al

 

[Savage Wolf]

well, I'll have to keep that in mind, I have the 94/95 setup inc the ac compressor so I'll have to do some test fitting when my tranny arrives

 

[94EBexplorer]

gonna be done for the aug 24th run?

 

[Savage Wolf]

yeah, I plan on being up and running before the 24th run, about to make a call and see why my tranny isnt here yet... :fire:

 

[Savage Wolf]

[Speedfreak]

Shorted out the damn keyboard from all the drowl?!?!?!?!

That looks good.

 

[94EBexplorer]

damn i want one.... now.... that is so pretty... looks better than my G/f......

 

[Savage Wolf]

more swap details....

ordered L&L motor mounts, very nice =) 2 peice design easy to install and set the motor on, I suggest these highly, my james duff headers fit well, BUT the pass side needs to be bent to clear the tranny probably
its getting there finally
Pics to follow soon

 

[Savage Wolf]

WARNING!!! May Cause Drooling!!

OK!!! got my tranny finally, stuck the atlas on it trying to figure out the clocking I want and snapped a few shots, so far everything seems good..... course there is always a snag... or two, the tranny mount on the 4R70W is 2 inchs foward from the A4LD, the atlas 2 shift tower seems to have part of the tranny in its way also and is aimed too far to the left, I'll wait to mount it to figure that out, also need to fab a shifter cable bracket (fun... not) but anyways on with the pics!


warning: have drool rag or bib handy before viewing....

[Savage Wolf]

The project still pushes on, on the things to do list I need to pull the AC/Fan housing out, install the egr to the header set the motor and tranny

Do NOT get the james duff headers if you want to do this swap easy, after alot of heating and bending I got mine to clear and line up where they needed to be, complete total pita

Pics to follow as I get somethign done =)

 

[Savage Wolf]

Pics coming soon as I get off my ass and take them...

Current progress: motor in, ac/blower box cut and installed, t-case/tranny all hooked up rear driveshaft in, p/s and a/c pumps in (minor mods to the ac compressor to make it fit) flex fan w/ 3/4" spacer fits with stock radiator

Problems left: rear driveshaft too short, front drive shaft too long, alot of wiring needed to be done (already traced out though), A/C wireing needs to be traced and run, smog pump wont fit at all, where to put the 95 stang air box, and lastly what the hell to put my 33x12.5 spare (cant go on roof)

 

[410Fortune]

Yes the L&L mounts are sweet! They cause even more problems withthe Duff headers however, the Duff motor mounts must sit at least 1" taller.

Joe ended up ditching the Duff long headers, they just simply wouldnt fit, especially with a JET AOD.
I believe Duff made those headers for the T-5 only.

Not too happy with Duff products lately, their drop brackets and VR coils are good, traction bars okay, I actually love my Duff prerunner bumpers, but the conversion parts seem to leave alot to be desired.

Looking good so far! Funny to see the same problems coming up again and again, and finally some documentation..........

The FMS headers are SWEET and cheap! But the Y pipe is then up to you..........

Old engine and tranny

Geoff looks good, that Atlas is nice.

Hey, do you still have the 4.0 and the A4ld you took out? I am thinking about fooling around with something other than whats in my truck!

Have Fun

 

[Savage Wolf]

Yeah Steve, I still have my stock 4.0, and a4ld tranny and t-case, all the parts to it, and a full motor minus a few peices
(yes thats 2 motors, 1 cooked tranny and a working? electricshift tcase
and I can probably deliver (trailer or rollback towtruck) if anyone wants to buy it that lives close by

 

[Savage Wolf]

Well... its still not running, but its getting damn close, right now i have the cash... but no time to get anything done, sooooo I'm going to find someone to finish the mess off, hopefully I'll get the exaust system finished next week, and get someone to finish the final wiring and mechanical work
If i have time I'll post pics of the exaust system when i get it done =)

side note I just got a new 33x12.50x15 BFG M/T for a spare, looks nice =) soon as i get the rig running, project 2 is building the spare tire carrier from hell =)

 

[IAmTodd]

Awsome job, Once you're finished I'm prolly gonna have a couple questions for ya. You solved pretty much my only question, how to control the 4R70W. I didn't know if a, say '95 stang motor would control it or not.
