Engine Change Electronics
If I replace my engine in a 62 F100, what year do I need to stay under in order to not have to add computers or other electronics to the build? I would like a nice simple carb motor with electric choke.

1985 was the last year of the carbureted 5.0 engine in the Mustang. I would imagine that would hold for most other Ford engines, too. I agree with BruteFord - better check with your state DMV to find out if they have any rules about engine "upgrades".

FWIW if I'm not missing some special model made later the very last carbureted Ford was 460s in 87 F250HD/F350/F-Superduty

Installed 289/302 in 65, have never had a problem other than replacing cam and lifters; those darn hydraulic flat tappet lifters; if I were to have to replace the engine I would go w/ a later model engine w/ roller lifters and cam.
