Efi 400

Here is a first photo of a Cobra TB & 460 Upper adapted to a 4 barrel intake.

The manifold shown is a Holley Street Dominator for a 4150 carb, but the final manifold will be a 4500 series Dominator with an EFI conversion.




Check my gallery for more shots.

I believe that they are 57 mm apiece. They measure about 2.3" in diameter. They should flow better than 1000 CFM of cold dense air with the right cold air intake and the insulated upper manifold.

BTW, I think that the 460 throttle and kick-down cable bracket will work if I rotate the TB 180 degrees and put the TB linkage on the passenger side like the 460 TB.

You could use the 460 TB, but you would need to fabricate an air intake from the MAF and filter. The 460 doesn't use Mass Air.

You can get an aftermarket TB from Accufab that will flow close to 2000 CFM. That should fit as well as the Cobra.

jopey,

Who or where are you getting to do your manifold conversion?
I have contacted a few places and they want more than I want to spend for drilling some holes and tapping some others.

some guy on the east coast.



Does the 351W dizzy work in the M blocks? I thought the 460 dizzy was the only one which worked in our engines.

The 351W dizzy is the same except for the gear. The gear for the 335 series is larger than the Windsor gear. You can purchase a 351C gear and swap with the Windsor gear. They both use a 0.531" diameter shaft with the larger oil pump rod.

How far east? I am in Delaware, you don't get much farther east.

Dan

Which Dizzy are you going to be using? 351w with the 351c gear or the 460 dizzy?

I bought a new Pro Comp EFI dizzy on ebay for a 351W. I then bought the 335 series gear from Pro Comp in LA. The Pro Comp dizzy uses a two piece shaft. The gear stays meshed with the oil pump and cam when the dizzy is removed.


I have a Crane steel gear for a 335 series to sell. I was planning to buy a 351W dizzy and swap the gears, but I bought the Pro Comp instead.

Since I found out how to wire in the remote TFI I am just going to run the 460 TFI dizzy. it is fairly simple when I sat and stared at the diagram for a few hours.

Will the fuel rails off a 5.0 fit on a 400 intake for an efi conversion?

The injectors on a 5.0 are at an angle. You must install them at the same angle on the 400 manifold to use the 5.0 fuel rail. Otherwise they are the same, but you need a single plane intake to get all the injectors at the same height to mate to the fuel rails.

There is someone who makes a screw-in injector bung and injector hats. These allow instalation of injectors without the fuel rail, at any angle or elevation. All injectors are fed from a fuel ditribution block through seperate lines. You could use any dual plane or stock manifold with this setup.

Will you get decent low-end torque with this EFI, or is it pretty much for top-end? BTW, I went to Quaker City Raceway in Ohio today, saw a Ford Ranger click off a 10.98 in the 1/4 mi., I couldn'nt find him in the pits afterwards, so I couldn't ask him what he had.

I think that it will have enough low end torque to be streetable with a stall converter. I will let you know, when I get it done. That is still some time off.
