Ya, I was thinking this is would be a lot of work. If I did take this on I'd be sure to have help or have this done by our familly mechanic.

Edit:The F3TE heads are EFI.

Yea, the F3 heads would be EFI. Sorry, it's late, I've been welding all day, and I'm sooooo undercaffienated.

Here are some links that you might find useful..

Keep in mind these are for 5.0 engines... doable on a 460, just requires more work and some fabrication. The wiring is the same. Also have to change data in the computer.

Will I notice a decent improvement in HP/Torque, in going to ported F3TE heads, and a chip? This won't through anything off would it? Going to MAF seems like a lot of work, so I was just gonna put most of my money into the looks.

After looking at the sites you posted I saw they had all the conversions for the 5.0/5.8. Which one would I want to go with on a 460. I have a C6 tranny, and didn't see anything listed for the C6 trannys only the E40D's. Im liking this idea more and more after I talked to a mechanic friend about it.
