I did a search and read everything I can find but nobody mentioned how the cool weather drivability is with no heat cross over when you bolt a carb to an efi 460 with the stock heads.
I have a donor truck found and want to put the 460/ZF into my 59 f250 4x4. People have scavenged the ECM and some other stuff so I don't want to try and find all the stuff to keep it efi. Should I just do a head swap too so I can have carb heat? I think the truck is 89-90. I have tried to read all I can but there is a whirling eddy of piston dish and installed height, combustion chamber and port design, what plays well together and what doesn't. I also have a 429 with D0VE heads, probably too much? How about D3VE? I want to run pump regular gas, which is 85 octane here.

 

Hmm, nothing eh? I thought there might be some builders on here, guess I need to find a 385 specific forum.

 

The guys at 460ford.com may know. Most guys that do the swap don't worry about that particular problem I guess. I'm pro-life when it comes to carb swaps on efi. Carb swaps still a PCM's heart
