Adding ford EFI on 1970 motor

Group

is it possible to add factory ford efi onto an older motor??

If i pirated the intake, wiring and computer from a 460 efi Van
can i get it to work???
I know all about the hard lines and fuel pumps etc from my
5.0 mustang days...
Just wodering if i also took a speed density system from a mustang and used that instead too???

Somewhere in the 80's, I believe that the heads changed so a factory EFI intake may not work.

You can doit, but probably will be difficult to tune up if you use stock computer, also you can get a lot of fault codes. Could be better replace computer for any model you can reprogram to obtain all possible HP from engine.

Is there such thing as a 460 efi van? Can't say I have ever seen one.

There are more 460 Van's out there than anything else. Almost all of the smaller Motorhome's are on a E-350 chassis, and they all had 460's in them up until about 1998
