didnt get a chance to work on the truck all weekend so put in a couple late nights after work yesterday and today! Man getting close, cooling system is plumbed. Upper plenum spacers were fabricated and installed. have to relocate PCM extend TPS sensor pigtail and change alternator regulator pigtail, That being said I did rewire the ignition coil harnesses and have (what i think lol) will be the correct size belt. EGR system may get capped just to get it running. need to figure a different egr valve and tube (might have to switch to DPFE style tube) small kinks right? and on top of it all my phone is now broken so my buddy let snap a couple of pics with his...

filled with coolant and oil last night!!, still waiting on my Efan controller to get here...ordered june 8 and still not here wtf! getting close wish i could take more time off work, haha stupid job and responsibilities

I'm almost as excited as you are...it takes a big pair to venture into something like this...can't wait for you to crank it up

Man wish knew I someone like you up here in Denver. Know something ain't right on my truck but no idea what. Anyway been following the thread since ya started. Can't wait to see finished product good luck keep on truckin.

When its done drive it to Detroit and show the Ford engineers how its done right.. give the people what they want .. nice job.!!!!


Also post a you tube video when it's done.

BigDaddy750, thanks dude, its been awesome, i love playing with factory parts!

jc05lariat, I wish i was closer so i could give ya a hand haha, thanks for the support!

gforceman, Ironically the end goal is the Woodward Dream Cruise in detriot August 18 want to use it to tow my 87 cougar xr7 to the show! there will be a video thanks dude

I should have known as custom of an operation this has been there will be areas of difficulty, thought i was good with the junkyard score of the mrk8 alternator, then started doing some research on the how the pcm controls the charging system. because of this i had to order an alternator off of a mercury marauder, it has the same pcm charging strategy, i will let Henry himself explain:

Principles of Operation
The powertrain control module (PCM) controlled charging system determines the optimal voltage setpoint for the charging system and communicates this information to the voltage regulator. This system is unique in that it has 2 unidirectional communication lines between the PCM and the generator/regulator. Both of these communication lines are pulse-width modulated (PWM). The generator communication (GEN COM) line communicates the desired setpoint from the PCM to the voltage regulator. The generator monitor (GEN MON) line communicates the generator load and error conditions to the PCM. The third pin on the voltage regulator, the A circuit pin, is a dedicated battery voltage sense line.
Battery Positive Output (B+) Terminal Circuit 38 (BK/OG)
The generator output voltage is supplied through the battery positive output (B+) terminal circuit 38 (BK/OG) on the rear of the generator to the battery and electrical system.
A Circuit 35 (OG/LB)
This is the A terminal battery voltage sense circuit and is used to sense battery voltage.
Circuit 904 (LG/RD)
This is GEN COM circuit. The PCM determines the optimal voltage setpoint for the charging system and communicates this information to the voltage regulator on the GEN COM circuit.
Circuit 3204 (LG/OG)
The GEN MON circuit communicates the generator load and error conditions to the PCM.

Its alive! 1st test fire wow! (no accessory drive)
