I am also workin on settin up a turbo block runnin the Ford EDIS parts. Wont be runnin MS3 however, as mine is going in an OBD2 truck.
There is an interference at the lower rad hose to deal with, and my cam sensor is gonna be mounted on the valve cover.

dang ,,,wish i knew how to do that ,,,would be perfect for a build file

kinkos can do it for u. they dont charge much. mine laminated and colated and blown up to 11 x 14 was 30 bucks for 5 pages, and i can add more as i get more done . my sensor does not inter fear with the lower hose at all. i was gona mount mine to the lave cover , but it continually moves as the gasket detriorates , and ford obviously agrees cause the mounted the stock one on the side of the block off the aux shaft.. i took a late modle 2.5 ranger aux gear and machined the single tooth plate off ,and machined the square tooth pulley to accept ti and welded it on, so now i can use my adjustable cam pulley, and i can take advantage of the cam signal .

i think it came out pretty slick. i ran my harness through the fire wall in the hole right behind the intake, so my wiring is clean. most every thing i need to connect to is right there at the injectors and coils , temp sensors iat and coolant are right there too.

more progress , i put a water pump off a ranger that the frnt cover came off of, 2 of the holes lined up, and i drilled and tapped the block for the bottom hole, i also drilled and tapped the cover to work with my oil pan, and i tapped the block for the last cover bolt . so im getting there ,slowly.

I am still researching what cam position sensor to use. I really want it to be on the cam itself rather than the aux shaft, but i may have no choice...

Which direction will this w/pump be driven - CW or CCW? Some w/pumps have curved impellers that are only intended to be turned in a specific direction, depending on whether its pulley is driven by the inner (ribbed) or outside (smooth) side of the drive belt. If the pump has straight impeller fins, it can be driven in either direction. :dunno:

i though about that. im going back to the salvage and ill look at the truck i pulled the front cover off of.
