going from EFI to Carb

[silverranger]

My buddy is doing a low build swap in his ranger. Picked up a 94 5.0 out of a F150. What all is needed to swap and also if anyone has any parts they want to let go, please let me know.

1. Carb (which one) this is not going to be a bad ass motor.
2. Lower intake (performer) or is there a good one but cheaper
3. Dist??


I know there is more so any help would be great.

Thanks,
Greg

you need a distributor (without a TFI module)
Ignition box
Possibly a coil - depending on how you go.
Fuel Reg
Vaccum tree
and a couple other things I think I may be forgetting.

I was going to use a 650 Holley, still have it and an Eldelbrock intake in my storage shed since I sold the car. If you still need one in about 2 months (when I get home) I can give you a good deal on both.

You can even use the TFI distributor - there's a way to wire it up without the ECU. It won't be the best, but it's good for a low-buck build.

Cool bro, i will let you know if we still need stuff. It is a cool build, the truck already lays frame. Now he wants to do the engine.

Anyone know if the shorty headers will be a problem to swap into the truck?

Brooks, you think it will be easier to get a different dist.

Depends.. You'd most likely have to get some sort of ignition amplifier to run with an aftermarket dizzy. There's the option of getting the HEI converted ford distributor - which is SIMPLE.. and fairly cheap.
