: Jonathan,
: Get rid of the fan and use an electric fan. There is one EFI Mav owner here so the rest except for the obvious will be for him to say. You will need to change your rear end to the 5 lug since you are going to need to change those gears anyway. Look for a Versalles rear end with about 3.25 to say 3.55. Depending on the gas milage you may want. Get the front discs out of a Mav or Granada. You will need to stop and I can tell you the I6 brakes just won't cut it.
You can also use brakes off a Mercury Grand Marquis ('78 up). There was an article in a recent Mustangs and Fords magazine that shows how to use the Marquis brakes on the front. The rear end won't work. I think the magazine was the May 2000 issue, but it could be the April one too.
