Eaton Swap Parts List Thread

[JoeBoomz]

YES to AF gauge if you intend to tune it yourself. If you are getting it dyno tuned it's not as important but request them to turn on the adaptive learning for non WOT driving.

I'll be taking it back to Mr. Norm's for tuning.

I'm on the fence as to whether I should invest into the blower at this point, but seeing the lengthy parts list turns me off though...

If you are not looking into postive displacemnt type supercharger only I would give Landy a PM he can get you a centrifugal supercharger build same as eaton way less parts

I would much rather have a positive displacement setup. I just don't have the time to invest in researching and gathering parts, and not too sure about hacking up my non-molested engine bay with made at home brackets etc..

I wonder if any shops close to me have any whipple or kenny bell superchargers they can install on these cars..

You're still going to need the majority of the parts required for an Eaton swap (i.e. lower intake manifold, intercooler, brackets, etc.), and if you're running a stock engine, either a Whipple or Kenny Bell will be serious overkill (not to mention big bucks; the blower will cost as much or more than a complete Eaton swap).

For people wanting the Eaton swap brackets.

Hmmmm, looks like the brackets could be a bottleneck.

You're telling me........

Just got done with adding everything up for the most part, maybe forgot some small misc. items...

Hope this helps:

I have a couple questions:

What is the special screw and bolt for under Tousley Ford?

I bought On3Performance's crossover delete kit with the hose kit too. No instructions....no idea on how to install it yet. Why did you need the Meziere tstat?

Those are for the tube under the lower intake which connects to the water pump.

Why did you need the Meziere tstat?

I used the Meziere because it was suggested by Kelly. I read that a standard Chevy t-stat also works, but when I tried one, I couldn't get the t-stat housing closed. Probably just my luck. The Meziere was a lot more shallow and fit like a glove. Just don't forget the special gasket for it like I almost did.

What changes are made to the tube under the lower intake that requires new hardware?

With the On3Performance kit, does the tstat mount inside it, deleting the oem tstat? I don't understand how the kit works yet. Or are you just talking about a new stat in the oem housing?

[loud2004marquis]

What changes are made to the tube under the lower intake that requires new hardware?

I think I reused the oem bolts to remount the tube, might've used one of them, but not needed the other. Also, if you have a rear head cooling mod done, you might have to do this to the tube to clear the fittings:

Yes you are correct. OEM t-stat housing gets deleted and you need a part I forgot to put on my list, but did buy, to modify the lower radiator hose. An aluminum elbow replaces the OEM t-stat housing, will update my list.

Check out what Motown did here, particularly post# 221

For an Eaton Swap, I only had to put the aluminum elbow in place, didn't have to do anything with the other side of the lower radiator hose as the overflow tank stays in place.

[tbone]

Nice! Please let me know where you got the aluminum elbow. Thanks!

I've been slowly piecing together the parts that I need for this swap for a little while now, but it's crunch time. I know this is "the recipe" that everyone follows, but page 3 of this PDF http://www.fordracingparts.com/downl...I_TechTips.pdf from FoMoCo/FRPP has me questioning the use of 39 lb/hr injectors. Is that where the Boost-A-Pump and the 255lph pump come into play?
