The 462 is completely different than the 385 series in all ways.

My question is: has anyone retrofitted port fuel injection to a 460?

I initially thought I could get a late model (87 and up) port system from a

460, but:
1) the intake manifold won't fit earlier models
2)it is just about impossible to find a 460 of any vintage (around St.
Louis), much less a later model one.

so, my thoughts are to pull a mass flow system off of a mustang/crown vic,
drill and install injectors on the manifold. I am learning more about eec
tuning from a web site. I need to find out the capcities of the MAF meters
used to make sure they flow adequate air for my mild 460.

Anybody done this before?

By the way it is way too easy to do the TBI from a big block GM and put it
on my Ford.

Jim
