Greetings from another world.... I am new to D.F.I.....Please be gentle..!
I recently acquired an Accel-DFI-gen-7 / 8 Stack Fuel Injected Ford 302 SVO / W/GT40 Heads, AOD/Trans and I need advice on the install.
The engine/trans was in a '57 Ford for some time and supposedly ran quite well.
My plans are to install this combination into a 1926 Ford Tudor/Phaeton.... I never claimed to be practical...!
I plan to have Cobra Style/Hot rod side pipes. "X-Pipes or such" would be impractical, But.....?
My question is: The "Plug and Play" Accel harness provides for only one 0-2 sensor. How do you Cobra Guys/Side Pipe Exhaust cars locate said 0-2 Sensor? Now Be Nice...!
My thoughts are to install a "Cross-Over" pipe between the Headers using the "Flange" connections in this photo <http://www.speedwaymotors.com/Small-Block-Ford-289-351W-Lake-Style-Headers-Plain-Steel-Finish,7989.html> Weld a "Bung" on this pipe for the 0-2 Sensor. Will the exhaust become trapped in said cross-over and give false info to the Sensor...?
Has this been done...? did it work...? should I join the real world...? am I on the wrong forum...?
