I'm not sure what you are getting at, but it seems as though the first and last sentence do a 180 and completely contradict one another.

If it's an EEC-IV, it will plug into any EEC-IV harness, physically, at least, whether it's from a carbureted vehicle from the mid 80's or a sequential EFI mass air system; the plug itself is the same. The pinouts are different, obviously, to match the functions required of that particular engine computer. The plug changed from 60 pins to something over 100 in 96, which is where the biggest difference lies.

 

Well, free flowing exhaust is no prob. Headers, true 2 1/2 duals with hi flow cats and edelbrock 2in-2out muffler.(stainless front to rear) Now the cam might be another story. I might wait on that until I can afflord a new shortblock or something. I am working on sedating the hampsters a bit.
Does the MAF use the same configuration with the 2 tubes going to the airbox?

 

Cams are dirt cheap for these motors. The highly recommended Comp Cams 35-255-5 is $163 at Summit. I'm not sure if that comes with lifters but if it doesn't they won't cost much more. The big issue is that you basically have to strip the motor bare to install it, upper and lower intake, water pump, rad, timing set all have to go, so there is a lot of labor and a gasket set needed to complete the job. However.. this is by far the component with the most impact on your journey to get more power and better milage.


Yes. The kit comes with a single output airbox cover and a Y pipe. You cut the stock tubes a little shorter and install the MAF sensor between the airbox and Y pipe.

 

I got the Ford kit because it ran like crap and the kit totally fixed it. Mileage is another story. Some will see an improvement, most won't. My mileage is about the same at 10-12 mpg. Considering I have a lift and bigger tires plus the fact that I drive more aggressively, now that I can, I could argue that my mileage has improved.

There are a few pics in my gallery but probably nothing very helpful.

You may not recoup the cost ($600 for the Ford racing kit) in saved gas but the performance difference was well worth it. I installed it in a day taking my time which for me added value to the kit.

 

Sorry I need to proof read better . It would not plug/ECM fit 93 to 94 Because of pin layout my bad . I just ment it was easier to use the newer plug since he Would have harnes if went this route. . I'm sorry I said any thing.

So,

Now I am more confusededed. Start over. I need what year plug, and what ECM?

Thanx,

Some 94 and 95 F-series trucks had mass air, some did not. If you can find one of them, the wiring will swap from that 94 or 95 into your 93 with pretty minimal effort, apparently. I cannot confirm because I have not personally done that swap. It is possible to use your existing harness and just add/move the wires needed by the mass air computer as well, but that is a little more difficult. In 96, the F150's were all mass air and all should be OBD-II, which is a completely different system altogether. The wiring may swap, but it's more complex and a bigger hassle to deal with, so generally that year is not considered for a mass air swap. These OBD-II trucks used a 104 pin plug, while the older EEC-IV trucks used a 60 pin plug. Any EEC-IV computer will physically connect to any EEC-IV harness, but if the pinouts do not match, the computer won't work correctly and could get messed up. This is the reason you would need to use the mass air truck harness with the mass air computer. It's not that the computer won't fit, it's just that the wiring does not match the computer and its associated functions. The confusion may be partly from me, and for that I apologize.

 

Thanks,

That's a lot more like it.
My bud's '96 F250 5.8 didn't have OBDII............they looked for it at the emission station, and he didn't have one. I wonder if they were MAF or MAP.........hmmmmm........the plot thickens.

The F250's were a different story. The over 8800 GVWR trucks did not have to comply with Federal OBD-II regulations at the same time as the F150's, so those kept the older computers until the new SuperDuty came out in '98 as a '99 model. I've read of one or two of those heavy trucks having mass air, but I think those are even more rare than the mass air 94-95 F150s. They are definitely still OBD-I at any rate.
