What engine is the '887?

'528 isn't on this list but I found info that shows it is a 1988 3.9 3 speed SMEC.

I sent you an '887 and a '937 today, you should have then early next week.

Picked it up from the Post Office yesterday. Thanks! Now, I've got to find a 360 out in one of the yards! One I went to last weekend had nothing but Magnums.

Thanks... and keep an eye out.... I'll have other Shelby Dakota parts for sale! Tim

I have two 5.9 TBI throttle bodies if anyone is looking for one.

One 5.9 TBI throttle body left.
I have a couple truck SMECs too that would be good cores for a custom cal.

Andy - what all is needed to apply the Stage II Cal? I get asked about it maybe once a month. I honestly know nothing about the Shelby Dakota or Stage II cal.

What is needed to run the Stage II? 360 TBI Throttle? Intake?

What computer(s) can be modified to be a Shelby or Stage II?

[ajakeski]

The Shelby 318 Performance package consisted of the 4517636 computer, a TBI throttle body from a 360 liter V8 and a low restriction muffler. It also included a template to follow for enlarging the opening in the intake manifold for the larger throttle plates. (And filling the intake with iron shavings.)

I've found that enlarging the manifold isn't necessary for clearance since the throttle body spacer moves the throttle body far enough away from the manifold for needed clearance. I enlarge the holes of a 318 TBI spacer on a taper to the size of the 360 TBI throttle plates.

You can use any 1989 V8 truck SMEC as a core for the Stage II conversion.

The 318 heads and intake have smaller ports than the 360, but the 318 heads flow just as well and have a closed combustion chamber for better quench. With some porting, the 318 heads will out perform the 360 heads. You can also update to Magnum heads. They are available with the older LA (318-360) engine intake manifold bolt pattern and will out perform the old LA heads.

The thing to be careful for is building an engine with an air requirement that is more than the 360 TBI will support. The 360 TBI flows just over 600 CFM. Beyond that, the stock TBI system would be less than adequet.
