No carbs here!
Here are a couple of updated pictures. Last night after work I finally installed the engine and transmission out of a 91 E-350 van into my 1973 F-100. I guess "installed" isn't the right word to use....more like, "got them set in the frame".
Now comes the tedious task of melding the old wiring harness with the new, making adapters for the headers (since the new engine has square exhaust ports and the old ones were oval), making a transmission crossmember, having a driveshaft built, and installing the frame-mounted fuel pump.
Once that work is out of the way, I need to re-dyno it so I can see how not-as-awesome this engine is compared to the last 460. This one will be a little more gutless but my entire motivation for this one comes from the E4OD and the multi-port FI. The previous engine was running an MSD 6A and the old analog Holley Pro-jection. I might add that the pro-jection is the cat's *** and I might just miss it.
We'll see.
