A Newbie here in Warner Robins-Middle Ga. I had a 1976 F100 390-c6 ,It was Awesome! Now I have a 1993 f150 long and 93 short bed. The long has a 5.8 EFI and a C6. The short has a 4.9L -5 speed with cracked head . I am trying to build a Red 5.8 lightening with the short bed. I will need Parts to convert from 4.9l to 289 or 351. I could use pictures and advice. Need motor mount frame plate pics for v8,also fuel line, and exhaust pics. Thanks Georgia ford people! I have a lot of mechanical, electrical and pro body work experience, Just saying.

I'm not kidding, you're welcome to come anytime. 
I'd be happy to help you swap injectors if you wanted to do it here. I have the tools and can get the parts to rebuild them ourselves if you wanted. Or I can get rebuilt injectors for about $1200.
But, if injectors work good - I wouldn't change them... If you feel like power is down, it's more likely leaky up-pipes.
These trucks all need the 'in-tank' mods by now as well if ya haven't done that.

We need some RAIN!!! Not smokey the last couple of days, but the fire near Hayesville, NC looked like a volcano spewing smoke off the mountain yesterday looking across Lake Chatuge.I don't have much time for the interwebs lately!!
I just rented a 40x80x16 shop in Hiawassee, GA. As soon as I get moved and settled in, we'll have a grand opening party and everyone is invited!! I'm not really doing service work or looking for customers though, since I am currently booked well into next year at this point.
Meanwhile, just holler if you want to come up or you're in the area for another reason.
I've got some cool projects under way right now.
