Fuel Injection upgrades
I have a '91 F150 w/5.0L. I want to upgrade the fuel injection to a late model system. Besides the ECU what other parts would I need to complete this upgrade? restomod68@yahoo.com.

I haven't made any mods to it yet except for better exhaust. I am going to rebuild the motor right after the first of the year and want to do that upgrade also. I am making the truck my tow vehicle for my 68 stang that I solo autocross.

Welcome to FTE!
There are upgrades available, such as the mass-air conversion mentioned, but that engine will still have a hard time tugging around a trailer. If you have an overdrive transmission, you may want to get a lower gear ratio, maybe as low as a 4.10, to help get a trailer moving.

Yeah, I plan on putting in one of those RV cams when I do the rebuild. It does have an aod tranny. The rear end gears are 3:55's so I'll see how they do before changing the gears. Where can I get that mass air conversion kit?
