Eaton Swap Parts List Thread

It would require some additional engineering to retain the EGR valve. For one thing, it won't clear the wiper motor mounting/cowl cover so that will need mods. For another thing the MM EGR valve works differently from the Cobra one, so it would take a little bit of work to figure out which type would work out better. Most people just turn it off in the tune. Some places do a visual inspection, so if they see that there is no EGR valve you'll fail emissions. Some places have a much more in-depth computer code reader so if they hook up to the OBDII port and find sensors (rear O2 sensors, etc) that are turned off you'll fail. So the solution has to be determined on a case-by-case basis. Some of these comments are from Mustang enthusiasts. So far I don't know of any issues with the MM guys, but there are only a few conversions out there and not many of them have been through emissions since the conversion.

I know in CT they do a random audit of cars and if you show up as having sensors turned of you get a nasty gram from the state. It says if you bring the car thru again with anything turned off you will automatically fail.I got one 2 years ago on the Saleen...so I guess you get a 2 year free ride or a 4 year free ride if you do the swap right after you go thru emissions

It is true that a good majority of states have the technology to 'probe' the pcm to see if any codes are turned off.

i just want to weed out any problems ahead of time, it would suck to get done and then get my reg. pulled because the thing won't go through emissions

guess you can say "i told you so" in about a year and a half lol

With the Saleen I just had my tuner give me 2 tunes...1 is performance only and the other is performance with everything turned back on...I just load that tune and go thru emissions...I love my flip chip

oh yeah Bob, put this down as another option for the accesory belt

060990 (napa number) 99 5/8th"

Tell me what size upper and lower pulley you are using and your belt size

Terry Gorsuch is working on a new tensioner bracket that is just sex on wheels! It's not ready to sell yet, but he's putting it on his engine and it is slick.

That will be great. Looking at the belt tensioner bracket due to alienment mounted out far from the motor has always been my concern. Because of this the pressure on these three mounting points must be termendous. I would never want it to work it self loose at any given time. This is my dailly driver. I may be my concerned for no given reason.

You are definitely correct about being concerned for no given reason.

None of the 200+ Trilogy kits have a problem, what makes this any different?

I'm using stock upper and stock size (7.4" I think) lower and the belt is Gates 080530 (53 1/2" I think). You have to grind off the stop on the tensioner to get it on (advice from Terry Gorsuch).

i wana say thats the size im using with my 3.2 upper and+ 2 lower. ill have to double check

Wow, I just went over this Thread, you guys have been busy! I would like to add some things.
1. On my brackets you shouldn't have to grind the Alt. I took that into account.
2. I used an F150 Alt. pulley (F5AZ-10344-A, Motorcraft GP-712) when I designed the bracket thinking it would be the same but it appears that it sets out from the Alt. about 3/16". So if you are having belt problems or belt noise that may be it.
3. I corrected the problem of having to grind the Alt. Bracket to clear the WP pulley on the later brackets I hope. If anyone is having the problem please let me know and I will change it some more.
4. I am almost done with the new bracket and now make adapters to go in the water ports to utilize 90 degree Rad. hose and a alum. crossover, Also adapters to utilize AN fittings and braded line for crossover. Will submit pic's soon

This is what I was gonna do as my 'experiment' but Im glad you beat me to it.

Ill take the first set.
