Question Victor EFI Conversion

Has anyone converted their F150/Bronco to a lightning style intake/TB using the Edelbrock Victor EFI?

I run a car style (single TB) Edelbrock "Performer" intake on a Edelbrock 5.8 lower on my 357w.

Is that anything like what your talking about?

Don't know do you have any pics? I have seen the TFS-R used on a F250 with a little modification.

The set up you have is that the Truck EFI?

Short runner intakes such as the TFS-R or Edelbrock RPM are usually poor choices for heavy trucks. The power band is just too high in the RPM range for most (not all) truck aplications

The EFI system I am running is from an 89-93 Mustang 5.0. I ran this system on my old 302 and factory truck intake as well as now on my 357w with a car style Performer intake.

I will be having a chip burned soon to run 30lb/hr injectors and a 90mm L-MAF.

Thanks Gacknar, It looks like there is plenty of room on top. I am also going to use the 90mm LMAF.

Did you use a different throttle linkage or did the original one hook up OK? What about the coils that sit on the drivers side manifold bt the head?

I used the throttle bracket from a Lightning.

And modified it to run the TV for the AOD

I actualy have my coil mounted to my AC compresor. I dont have a pic of it but can take one later today.

I dont have a smog pump so I dont need TAB and TAD.
I do have good 3-way magnaflow converters that dont need AIR to make up for no smog pump. I pass metro Atlanta emissions tests with flying colors with this setup.

With a 408 stroker I need the volume. It also drops the RPM range.

Thanks for the info on the throttle bracket. I am also talking with a guy on the lightning forum that has a Gen 1 and his brother converted an F-150 to a lightning set-up.

I thought you probably used the lightning bracket. Does your EGR work or is that just for show?

That's great the 96 works on a different principal, so I will program it out of the ECM.

BTW, where did you get the intake duct? Is that lightning also?
