NEW GUY--WINTER PROJECT

Hi guys
like any good redneck I have a yard full of old ford trucks,
I am thinking of taking a 87 f150 and a 85 f150 both 4x4 of course
and making one.I want to use the 85 300 six carbed engine and cab.
what can I use off the 300 efi to get the most power to turn my
36'' tires with 4.11 ratio.
also what preformance options are avilable for me
this will be a winter project I will build with my son,
and the truck will be a hunting truck not a mud boger.

the EFI exhaust manifold is split giving you dual exhaust and is basically a Factory Performance header when bolted to a carbed motor.

No towing.
Is there a benefit to using the efi head on the carb engine for more air flow?
Will do a compression test on carb engine this weekend.
