efi to carb
i have a 92 f150 4x4 5.0L efi with a m5r2 manual trans. i am wondering what it entails to convert it to carb
in the process of turning the 302 into a 347 stroker and lifting it 10 more in
thanks any input is helpful

carb'd intake and a carb. thats pretty much it. i have never done this but i think you can just plug the injector ports and run that intake, just get a carb to sit atop!
someone correct me if i am wrong

i run a mechanical advance HEI dissy but i would not run a HEI on a smallblock again they are way too big i had to use an offset aircleaner to do it, you need a bypass fuel pressure regulator and a 3/8ths return line and a bunch of -6an line (use this please 2 of my friends burned to death when a rubber fuel line on their mustang ripped off the carb and sprayed the dissy with -an lines this won't happen)
and i did not keep any of the stock fuel injection sensors just kept the computer because i don't know what else it controls
and you have to put a fuel pump switch in your truck

10 inches of lift + F150 + big enough tires to fit under it + 347 = mall crawler, or Broken.

in my experiance carbs are better in mud because there are less wires to get wet and have problems, a carb is a lot simplier and easier to tune, no sensors to go bad, i got better gas mileage after i switched to my carb, you can control your timing mechanically, looks a LOT cooler that efi, a carb doesn't care what duration your cam is (that's why i did mine so i could run a LUMPY cam)
and get a ZF tranny instead of the stock one you have the zf will handle the power of a 347, or you could get a tko 600 with a divorced np205 transfercase
and your ttb isn't going to hold up with anything more than 35s and you'll want a dana 60 swap as well for 10in of lift

I agree it does suck being starved for gas.
But it also does suck if you go a little deeper than you thought and fry all you electronics because your hood went under for a second or two.
