EFI Guidance

Looking for some links to help me go down the EFI path. I'm having to expedite the purchase since I need to drop off the intake when dropping off the motor for the rebuild. I've read up on just about all of my options, variations and details and think this will be the best choice for what I want to do https://www.edelbrock.com/edelbrock-pro-flo-4-efi-35680-for-ford-429-460-big-block-engines-35680.html It comes with everything I need except for the air cleaner.

76 F150 w/460 (unknown specs yet. Shooting for 300-400 HP... I know, wide margin. Working on the budget!!)

So I went the Holley route, but my journey is incomplete. I used their 2300 kit, which is a direct swap for the Motorcraft/Autolite 2150/2100 carb. I also replaced the Duraspark ignition with their Hyperspark setup to allow the system to control timing. Once I add the O2 sensor to my exhaust, it'll run on a closed-loop setup to control AFR.

It literally fired right up once I plumbed in the high pressure fuel and made the 12V connections. I have not put any street miles on it as I have other issues to attend to (e.g. leaky steering pump, vacuum leaks, brakes, etc.)

Should be the best for your goals. The smaller runner intake would hold back a higher hp combo though imho

FiTech, but it has return line details that should work for a Holley EFI https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...?highlight=EFI

With set up you are looking to (edelbrock pro flow) all the above might be a moot point, but hay its free info just the same.
