He's probably the first fuel/spark modular config, there is one other guy in success stories who did a fuel-only setup on a 97 mustang GT.

ps. did you ever dyno it?

As far as the engine: it is from a 93' Mark VIII, its the early model DOHC with the 6-bolt crank, aluminum block and twin port heads. I'll be keeping the heads stock because my budget is tight, maybe if I'm lucky I will find some Lincoln Navigator cams. I'm trying to source out a used 8-bolt crank but haven't had any luck so the bottom end might stay stock for a while.
The turbo is a pieced together T76 from a few broken turbos, 60lb. injectors from the junkyard, I haven't figured out what to do about the intake... but the Mark VIII intake stinks, especially with the 1st gen IMRC plates. Since Cobra intakes are expensive I'll probably end up making a short runner manifold with the Mark VIII's flanges and sacrifice some low end power.
Thats about it for now, I've been pretty busy fixing up odd's and ends on my Probe getting it ready for summer and haven't spent much time with the 4.6L for a while now. I can't wait to get started! Seeing your setup was inspiring.
