O2 Sensor
I just picked up a 94 F-150 with a 351W in it. The cat has been removed along with the O2 sensor. The wires are just hanging there.
Is this possible?
Could I pick up another O2 sensor and weld a piece of threaded pipe into the pipe in place of the O2 sensor and then install it. The truck idles real high, after looking at the O2 sensor being gone, I figure that is the problem.
Do you think this would work?

Yes you can install a bung for the O2 sensor into the existing exhaust somewhere, they sell them specifically for this purpose. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/BIG-10120FLT/
But that's not the cause of the high idle. Pull the codes before you start guessing, find the EEC test harness over on the drivers inner fender and put a jumper between the STI and Sig-Rtn lines, then turn the key to run and the codes will flash on the check engine light. Write them down and post up your results.
See www.fordfuelinjection.com for lots more info on this.
