It really is 67Cobra.NET

I'm in Alabama, so CA smog rules are not an issue. I'm already pretty familiar with the emissions system and requirements.

The engine in the 740 is a 5.0 H.O. from a 89 Mustang. It looks pretty stock and I'll probably leave it that way for now.

My questions / concerns are how to make the Volvo to Ford connections such as:

Fuel - Is the 960 fuel pump adequate, single line or does it have a return line?

Ignition - How to connect the ignition switch to the Ford computer and starter solenoid?

Instrument panel - Tach and gauges?

Alternator?

Shifter - I would like to keep the Volvo shifter.

A/C?

Power Steering? I'm assuming that the 740 power steering hoses can be connected to the 960 rack?

Driveshaft - Should be OK, I can get it shortened if needed.

Motor mounts - Are the Converse motor mounts welded on? Are the 960 and 740 mounts the same?

Is there more that I've forgotten?
