Several choices as I have investigated
1)Throttle body injection using all parts for $1200 from Turbo City is the
easiest way to do this.Look at the Turbo City web page, their info is like
a primer on fuel injection.
2)Find an 87-92 big block GM pickup or suburban and move the fuel injection
to the 460
3)Port injection: my approach was to get a wiring harness from a mass air
flow mustang and get the parts. Then drill the manifold to add fuel
injectors, add the fuel rail, fuel regulator fuel pump, supply and return
lines, buy dual 70mm throttle bodies from edelbrock, buy a large enough
mass air flow meter (contact Proflow at their website) and then buy a
eec-iv calibrator so the tables can be modified and then read the web site
> called sn95.com mustang forum on modifying. The cost about $2800. You
could instead by your computer and wiring harness from speedpro. Another
good site is Force Fuel injection.

Or you could pay someone to do all of this for you and it costs even more.


4)Get a fuel injection system from an late model 460. My only hang ups
with this for me was that I couldn't find any late model 460s around St.
Louis (I had an unbelieveably hard time locating ANY 460 around St.Louis
AND even if I could, there was the head issue. When I was looking for a
460 to rebuild I was also looking at manifolds, Edelbrock says their
manifolds don;t fit "late model heads - 87 and later". The new heads
Edelbrock is selling also say they don't work for "late models". So it
seems like something was done with the "late model" heads. I suppose
everything could be stripped off of the late model 460 and put on an
earlier model head (i.e drilling the manifold for the injectors) and then
some fabrication for the way the throttle body mounts to the old manifold
(it is side draft mounted on the fuel injected manifold). Then there is
the issue of needing the "7 wire distributer" - this is needed so the ford
eec knows where the crank is for timing - this would also be needed to
adapt to the mustang system.

My money is going to be stripping the throttle body off of the big block GM
from 87-92. There is enough info on the Turbo City page to figure out what

to do. I also ran across a couple of other aritcles on how to do this - I
pass them along later if there is a desire.

I hope this was of interest.

Jim

For my 62 F350 I got one from TransDapt that was a crossmember type and
used ford motor mounts. I can't remember the price
