any questions just pm me you will be SOOOO much more happy with a carb swap than the crappy fuel injection on these trucks and you can run as big of a cam as you want
it's easier to use a bypass regulator than mess with your fuel pumps

in my opinion rv cams are a waste of money since they are really low lift low duration.
you would be REALLY happy with that motor if you stuck a medium sized cam and headers on it along with an intake manifold and a 750 vac. secondary holley
that's basically what i have done to my 5.0 but i have a big cam ported heads portmatched to an edelbrock rpm air gap intake manifold with a little holley 570 vac. secondary sitting ontop, my carb is way too small but i can't justify shelling out the money for a new one

alright well you NEED -6an fuel line since you are going to be taking it from the fuel filter use this fitting to go from the filter to -6an line Russell Performance 640850 - Russell Fuel Rail Fitting Adapters - summitracing.com and it's about 40lbs of unregulated pressure you use this line up to a bypass fuel pressure regulator Mallory 4309 - Mallory Fuel Pressure Regulators - summitracing.com that is the one i am using. Russell Performance 632090 - Russell ProFlex Hose - summitracing.com there is the fuel line you will need Summit SUM-220648 - Summit® AN to NPT Adapter Fittings - summitracing.com you will need 3 of these fittings for the fuel pressure regulator
Russell Performance 610020 - Russell Full Flow Hose Ends - summitracing.com this is the type of hose end you will need (you will need a few of these and some other ones that have angles in them) then you need to go to the local napa and pick up some 3/8ths hard line and bend it to the right dimentions to fit your truck and hook that to the bottom of the fuel pressure regulator and run that to your return line in the tank using this fitting Russell Performance 640860 - Russell Fuel Rail Fitting Adapters - summitracing.com to go from your tank to -6an line to the hard line
forgot to mention you need a new distributor and don't use an HEI dissy because they are too big for a smallblock ford you will need an offset aircleaner
http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku -- distributor
you can use your stock ignition coil but since you are upgrading everything else i would upgrade it as well
http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku
oh and you'll need adaptor fittings to go from -6an to your carb you can get them at any speedshop
