Alright, i am hoping to procure the stock ford efi system from travis(broncojo) for my 460. Now come the questions that i will eventually need help with.
1. Tranny since i will be using a non computer controlled tranny, i will either need to delete the stuff that runs the tranny, or find a computer from a standard correct?
2. Can i expect any better fuel mileage(not that this is a main concern at all)
3. i will remove the huge cam that is in there most likely and put a milder cam that will either run with the stock system, or go a little larger on the cam, injectors etc and have to get a mass air system.
4. is mass air worth the added money? How much ballpark does a mass air system cost? What other parts will be needed to make it run correctly?
5. When i get the efi heads redone, ie decked or maybe some port/polish work will this piss off the stock system, will mass air be needed for this as well.
6. This will most likely be a long term project, as i will put the carb'd 460 in the new nasty first for simplicity, and since i know it runs good, and everything has been rebuilt. So i will have plenty of time to research all what i need or dont. Plus there is lots of stuff i want to get done to the truck asap when i finally take possesion of it.
7. Will i have to get a new tank with the intank pump, or does the after market make a pump that is outside of the tank that can make the 39-50 psi range which is the number that sticks in my head for ford fuel injection?
8. Be gay and forget the efi, and use the cash to build an even badder car'b motor
Flem i know you did a similar swap on your old f-150, how much did you have in the system in the end?
What are some good sites, books etc to learn some of this stuff. Also what are some good books sites to learn electrical in general.
