DarkHorsedF100 Posted October 26 Share Posted October 26 Hello All, I have a project in development of building my '56 F100 big window pickup into a 90% daily driver and 10% autocross participant. My donor car for this build is a '25 Mustang Dark Horse Premium. My intent is to use as much of the DH as possible, everything from the engine/10R80 to wiring harnesses/control modules and micro-processors. I know I can't use everything so when a conflict arises between the new tech and the old looks the looks will prevail. I'm looking for advise and help (paid) from a Ford Technician, Master Technician, Senior Master Technician or someone who has hands on experience with the electrical/software of Ford's FNV3.X architecture. My search is for an individual that understands how to navigate/manipulate/alter Ford's architecture in a way that will allow me to use around 90% of the features incorporated into the DH Premium and fool the computers for the other 10% with the least amount of collateral damage. Roads already traveled - Tuners and Forscan; Tuners in general have products for the performance side only. That makes sense because it is their bread and butter/customer market. I'm not concerned about adding/modifying performance at this time. Forscan (If you can get it) sounds like the best way to get into the system but what happens when you deprogram/delete/modify a processor that was used by more than just the feature you were concentrating on? Thanks for your interest and help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your interest and help. First of all, why would you take a brand new '25 Dark Horse and hack it all up? Was it totaled? It would be far cheaper to go the crate motor route than hack up a dark horse and try to fight all the integration gremlins. Benefit of the crate motor is that the control packs are take out all the unnecessary stuff, and only worry about the engine and transmission. Then you can build an aftermarket gauge cluster from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
