Hello! I'm in Everett and have an '86 F250 4x4 W/460. It is much less pretty...but they are 25 yrs old now and no longer need to pass smog here. I need to find somewhere to go 4x4 near here. I usually drive up Mt. Pilchuk and wander off the road somewheres. I'd love to convert to a flairside, but its a work truck / toy.

Hi Xirxious!

Hooray we have done out last emissions, huh?!

I will be installing some goodies this weekend (well, ok...I will be handing tools to the gent who will be doing the installing!):

Holley 4BBL #8007
Offy Intake Manifold #6019
EFI Exhaust Manifolds (from Al's Lynnwood Truck salvage yard)
Spectra fuel filter
New blingy Valve cover

I am a bit concerned about the ignition...there's been some mention of having to do this?

Also, I am worried about getting warm air to the carb with the new EFI manifolds on.

Any ideas?
