Doesn't look like Painless has anything specific for the Foxbody. I'll probably just end up ordering a universal kit with all the accessories I want/need, then use all the bulb sockets from the old '89 harness.



Wiring up the MegaSquirt should be interesting though. Luckily Craig plays well with wiring.

Alan,

Did you call Painless or are you just looking at a catalog? I would call them first.

Alan,

Just look around and find yourself a V8 donor car! There are cars out there that have a CD and can be picked up reasonably. I knew of one a few months back that was nailed in the drivers door. It had most of the interior, all the wiring, dash, motor, trany, rear and other items. It would be a great start for what you have. PM if you are interested in something like that... Otherwise, if you are going to make it a full racer, you are fine where you are!

The car is pretty much going to be bare bones, so I don't have the need for a donor car. If I were going to go the full interior/electrics route, I'd definately find one.


I didn't actually call Painless since I'm only poking around and not purchasing much of anything at the moment. But perhaps I'll call or shoot them an email sometime soon.
