Hello, just getting involved online. my current project is a 78 f250 super cab, short bed. Building it as a tow vehicle. Stumbled on a late model injected 460, with an over drive tranny from a wrecked 90's model f250. I think I can make it work and still look like the factory did it. Maybe get better gas mileage. Anyway. Some will complain because it will be lowered, some will like because it is lowered, but it will be lowered. Anybody worked with aftermarket injection controlers for this engine?
Jeff

Hello and congrats, great to see you`re in online with FTE.
This sounds like a neat project with the F250/late model injected 460 as a tow vehicle and hopefully siome better mileage. No worries on lowering it, build it your way!
