MAF or not???

It's going to cost you $600 to buy the conversion kit.


1988 F-150, SWB, 5.0 EFI (formerly 4.9 EFI), M5OD 5 speed, 3.08 gears, Summit shorty truck headers, Custom built Flowmaster exhaust system. Force 4 LP6000 lightbar, Federal signal PA-300 100 watt siren, Icom IC-V100 50 watt mobile radio.
=======================================
1965 F-100 (just purchased 1/18/01), SWB, 390, C-6 auto. Dual exhaust, Not much else to do to it.

Can see both below.

Noremac:
Mine backfired when downshifting before also, but after bigger injectors and an adjustable fuel pressure regulator I fixed that problem...

And on your guy's ideas about the MAF, how would you explain my truck? 1995 california 302/M5OD

Will the bigger fuel injectors make my truck use more gas under normal driving?????

I dont think it would be noticable, I couldn't tell, my stock were 19#/hour injectors and I replaced them with ~24#/hour (not sure at the moment) and the truck definatly ran better, especially at mid-high rpm range.

Ok thanks for the info, i'll change them when i can, so about how much did those little devils cost??? I'm also planning on getting dynomax headers, and a twin 61m throttel body, and later down the road i'm planning on getting the heads and intake ported, with flat top pistons. What do you think?

I think that would help it move pretty good, if you think your truck pops while downshifting now just wait until you get the heads and intake ported, when I ported the heads and intakes on my truck is when I got annoyed enough to replace the injectors. I got mine at the salvage yard, luckily they are color coded, I think yellow is the stock 19# and white is the ~24#, or the other way around...I bet someone else on this site would know better than I would, the place charged me $20 for the set of em

The explorer engine has the best top parts on it, but the mustang 302HO block has a better lower half, a common thing for the 5.0 mustang boys (my brother included) to do is to take the explorer upper/lower intakes, throttle body, heads...I think that combo puts out 240+ hp at rear wheels (brother dyno'd his, but that was before the explorer GT-40P heads with ford racing rockers)
I think the explorers stock for the 2000 year was like 230 or 240 horses
