We wrote an article exposing a kit-car company called Streetbeasts.

Now, they've tried to silence us with a frivolous lawsuit.

Guess what happens when unethical companies try to bully hotrodders out of their free speech?
Get the details, and see how you can lend a hand.

T Bucket - Engine Swap II

Had to make up my own throttle/TV/TPS bracket. Took a bit of thinking, but I think it came out ok and it works good.

Got it running pretty good so I got it our for a test drive.

Oh and BTW, traded the Mustang for a '28 Tudor. Happened real quick, guy was looking for a muscle car and he liked the Stang a lot. Very nice car, big block 454, MII front suspension, ladder bar rear suspension. Goes like snot too!

T Bucket - Engine Swap II

I was kind of treating this whole intake change as a big experiment. If it didn't work, I could jut buy another truck intake and put it back on. I was hoping the stock computer would work even though the intake chage might effect a lot of the inputs like the volumetric efficiency and thottle position calibration. After several attempts at tweeking an modifing things, I could not get it to run right with the stock computer.

As a last resrt, I once again hacked more parts from the blower motor and stole the Megasquirt computer. After a few modifications and reprogram for the 302, I temporarily mounted it and it fired up. Should have used the Megasquirt to begin with.

Heres it running on the Megasquirt. Much better.

T Bucket - Engine Swap II

I made up my own wire looms using a $10 set of 2 piece ignition wire clamps. I took some aluminum strip, cut, bent drilled holes and mounted the clamps to them.

I also put the body back on so I could finalize the wiring. I like the new look, even though I like the blower motor better This is still way better than the old truck intake.

T Bucket - Engine Swap II

I powder coated the upper intake, added some Ford Racing valve covers and was able to locate some used roadster headers.

I also had to make up a throttle linkage to operate the throttle position sensor, throttle cable and transmission TV cable. It's not quite done yet, but the TPS works so I can start it.
