Well then something must be wrong with my engine. It is from a 60-65 Falcon, that's all I know. It hasn't been a daily driver in 10 years, but I did drive it regularly for about 3 years and I had to replace two carb's, and had it rebuilt. It has always been a gas sucker.

I'll just put that V-8 thing out of my head.

Any other suggestions on making this 200 a more modern daily driver? Are there any FI kits or electronic ignition kits for it?

Igniton kits galore, 5.0 transplant kits galore but on a 5.0 you will spend some dollars and you have to be a fairly good mechanic to do this right. you will need among other things - a shortened driveshaft, stronger coil springs, upgraded brakes, special trans mount, new radiator, different motor mounts, conversion wiring just comes to mind -oh yeah - new fuel system with fuel return lines in addition to vent line
I'm not saying this is impossible, lots of poeple do it but to be done right so you dont have a poor running engine(where you are right now) it takes time and money. Take the money and buy a 86 to 90-- Mustang and you will be so much happier. just my $.02
