302 mass air conversion.
Ok, whats the best bet for this, I looked at some previous threads about it, but found nothing usefull.
My truck is an 85 EFI. And i wanted to give it a little more life..like a cam...buuuut the darn efi wont take well to a lumpy cam im told.
I have no idea what is required of this swap, please enlighten me a bit.
How much does the average swap cost?
Am i waisting my time, considering the truck is in very very good shape under the hood and id hate to take away from the looks under the hood. Its a flareside so its worth some money and i dont wanna screw it up, lol.
And is there a good site that i can buy all the required hardware new if needed? And if so,what am i looking for?

You can look into a better performing speed-density friendly cam...you don't have to switch to MAF...
There are a ton of threads on this in the 87-96 truck forum...try "MAF conv" "mass air conversion" "MAF conversion" etc...
You can buy Ford's $650 conversion kit, comes with computer, small wiring harness, MAF, and ducting...
Or you can piece it together yourself, with a Mustang A9L or A9P computer, MAF, and make the necessary wiring changes...
I have the FMS conversion kit on mine, and if I had to do it over again I'd probably do it myself but I've become much more knowledgeable since.

what rig is this for?
lumpy doesnt mean its good by the way. like mustang said there are plenty of speed density cams that produce good power. just keep in mind that the lobe seperation must not be less then 114* and the computer will be happy. compcam has plenty to choose from.

Yes FTE allows that link...
When you click on the link an FTE page comes up, but in the middle of that FTE page is another link..."Take me to the site I clicked on. Click Here"
