Lost/ 351 fuel injection conversion

I recently acquired a 73 cougar with a modified 351 cleveland but it had a modified fuel injection manifold (Weiland xcellerator manifold with fuel rails)with the air Plenum off a mid 90s 460 and I think computer out-of the same what my question is i have never messed with this type of set up I do carbs so is there anything to look out for on these snorkels with the 2 throttle body's ?? It has a few other mods like a big mass air flow a nice cam from what I



can tell

Apparently, it runs since you say it has a non-stock cam in. My only suggestion is to buy a shop manual for a mid-90's truck that would have had that FI on it. You could try the 87-96 forum. 1987 - 1996 F150 & Larger F-Series Trucks - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums (ford-trucks.com)
Good luck, someone went thru one heck of a thought process to get all that on there and working.
Or throw all that stuff in the garbage and put a different distributor and a carb on it.

Is that a 2 bbl. or 4 bbl. engine? If it is the original engine, it won't have a lot of compression unless it was modified. If you aren't familiar with the different 351C's here is a link to the Pantera forum. George Pence wrote this, and that old man has forgotten more about the 351C than anyone on this forum knows.

The 73 Cougar would sure start and run better fuel injected IMO
That is if everything works, and the processor is okay
The car would be worth more money stock (with a carb and Duraspark)
Maybe do it all over again with a Coyote or better yet, back to a stock configuration
