Did you need to replace the sensors or just use the existing ones?

5lt Windsor transplant

I tried the search thing but didn't get far! :2gunfire:
I want to put the 5lt and 4spd auto out of my 1993 Fairlane into my F100.
Is there an aftermarket system i should use and what costs would i be up for?
Would i be better off selling the motor and putting in a carby fed motor?

There are a set of HID lights that are a copy of the Rally 4000 on Ebay for usually around $500-$600.
That is the pair complete!
They even come with Rally 4000 clear covers.

You can buy an adaptor hose that will allow you to empty a BBQ Gas bottle into the LPG car type filler. From memory they're on ebay for about $50.
