Found an old thread on here where a guy converted a 78 460 to EFI and had this edelbrock performer intake machined for injectors and the stock 460 upper plenum. the thread is old and i dont think the guy is one here anymore and he never mentioned how it performed. seems like since he was able to use the better flowing earlier style heads and performer intake that it would be a better option than using the later style flow restrictive EFI intake and heads. any thoughts??

 

I wonder what he used for a throttle body?

 

Here you go. All ready to go, no custom machining or welded needed

he used an 89 460 as a donor for the other EFI parts. in fact see for yourself here is the link to the dead

"better flowing earlier heads"
Who are you kidding?

E7 was a huge improvement over D3
F3's an improvement over E7.
FI intakes have much better ports than stock carbureted intakes.

SCJ's could flow okay on top but suffered many eddies due to the valve geometry, and the short side radius of the exhaust port.

If you want to go EFI just pull an engine and everything from a later ('93-on) truck.
If you are going to throw a big cam in it get a last year MAF truck or use a conversion kit.

 

Guess i was wrong then. ive read alot about the FI heads being more flow restrictive compared to older style heads. I was curious as to the performance of a setup like the one this guy did. he never said how it ran and or what kinds of numbers it was getting.

 

Wow that thing looked funky with the TB on it.

 

Yeah it did haha. i thought it was a pretty interesting way the dude approached an efi conversion.
