Wow! What an awesome build thread. I've been on the forum a while but just got back on and started scrolling. Very impressive build. You've got me wanting to get mine back into tip top daily driver condition. Do you happen to remember where the eec was located for the v8? After seeing your kick panel vents I really want to find a set but I think my eec (1990) is behind my kick panel.

Thanks! Much appreciated. It's been a really fun and rewarding build.

The EEC on the '85 was up underneath the dash, just to the right of the steering column. No idea where it'd be on a 1990.
The sheet metal didn't change much, so I can't imagine it being behind the kick panel, as there's a big hole for the vents there. It also requires a bit of interior disassembly to get the kick panels out, which would be really inconvenient if you had to service the EEC.

I'm curious if 87+ models came with the kick panel vents. They are are a nice addition! I use mine all the time in the summer, even with the A/C.

I looked today and it actually is behind the kick panel 😳😳 I've seen you and "Reptillikus" take the effort to put them in so natural I want them too haha. Reptillikus had the same issue that I have since he's using a bricknose body on his rebuild. He got an extension harness to move his ecu. I've swapped a zf5 into mine as well and I've mildly built my factory injected 351 so I'm going to use an A9L mustang ecu and go to mass airflow. since I've got to build a harness anyway I might try to find a harness and ecu bracket like yours originally had and move the ecu while I'm at it. The 87-88 bricknose f250 351 trucks were carbureted so they had a nice rubber plug in the ecu hole..... hmmm i need to hit the junkyard 😁😁
