Are you making a show truck out of this vehicle? If so, yeah, you can even put a magneto on it if you wanted. It (the magneto) only needs one wire to ground it out to kill the motor. For the HEI, you will need a stand-alone harness/computer to run the injection. The mag would be best served with a carb swap.
If it's a street driven truck that might get inspected, it will not have the correct outputs to the ECM to make the engine run. Sorry. Neat stuff but not on our year Fords unless you like tinkering.

Ever get any help on this? I need a new distributor for my F350 460. Can someone give me suggestions? I would love something that could give me some extra power... but I am not a lottery winner.
