This listing is for a plug and play bolt on setup to swap a Ford 460 from carburetor to EFI (electronic fuel injection). The research for this system was done using a 1979 Ford F-350, and has proven an amazing addition. The EFI conversion in the pictured Monster truly made it come to life. It starts smooth and easy no matter the temperature. It runs great at all elevations and flawlessly in severe off road conditions. The single greatest benefit was the fact it doubled the gas mileage of the pictured truck. It also raised the torque, and the horsepower jumped dramatically, not to mention emissions became a breeze. The reason that this was all possible is due to over three years of research in learning the EEC-IV computer that powers this system. By re-mapping the ECU/wiring harness we are able to eliminate all of the unnecessary components such as EGR and all the vacuum sensors, and thus over 100ft of wiring. The other beautiful aspect of the conversion is the fact you won't even have to remove your engine to do the conversion. The engine block can stay in the truck, you can even run your original v-belt, or you can convert over to serpentine. If you are capable of changing head gaskets and running a fuel line, this install is a breeze.


On a standard size truck, you can expect about 12-15 mpg in town and 14-19mpg highway. The truck in the pictures weighs over 2500 lbs more than stock, not to mention its turning 44's. Through it all, the gas mileage doubled in this monster. It is averaging 10-13 mpg in town and 13-16 mpg on the highway. One recent trip from Denver to Yellow Stone, climbing some long hills straight into 45-60+ mile wind, it still got 8-10 mpg pulling loaded trailer. As a comparison; that same trip with a stock '78 regular cab long bed with a 351m and 30" tires averaged 6-7mpg with the same wind. It runs incredibly stronger, smoother and cleaner than any of the 60's, 70's, and 80's Ford trucks.

What it takes to convert your 460 to Fuel Injection:

  1. Simply remove the heads and intake from your truck and bolt on our new/rebuilt heads and intake.
  2. Install the distributor and ignition module that is included with the kit.
  3. Hook up a fuel pump from your existing feed line to the included EFI fuel line.
  4. Run a fuel return line to the tank (easiest via the fill up tube)
  5. Remove your old ignition module.
  6. From there you will install the wiring harness (there are only 5 wires to hook up to your truck)
  7. Run the included throttle cable (you will use your existing pedal, make one cut and one weld to the pedal rod)
  8. Run either the EFI manifolds included with the kit, or use our exhaust adapters so you can retain your original manifolds or long tube headers ( These are CNC plasma cut adapters and will cost an addition  $60 )
  9. Install an O2 sensor in the exhaust system.

What is included with the kit:
  • A complete wiring harness and ECU that runs as a stand-alone unit. (Each unit is tested and actually driven in the pictured vehicle)
  • A new/rebuilt set of heads with new springs, 3-angle valve job, seals, and locks.
  • A new cam and set of lifters from Crane Cams that will run within the parameters of the ECU and make more horse, torque, and also improve the gas mileage.
  • A professionally cleaned and painted intake and valve covers (the valve covers are aluminum and can be polished like the ones pictured)
  • Fully cleaned and tested fuel rails, injectors, and all the sensors.
  • A cleaned and tested distributor
  • Exhaust manifolds, and intake tubes (air cleaner tubes).
  • Fuel lines coming from manifold to frame rail.
  • A new fuel pump with warranty.
  • O2 sensor bung


The only other things you will need to buy
An air filter, a 4-wire O2 sensor, some fuel line, and tune up parts of your brand and choice (cap, rotor, plugs, wires, etc)
 
We can also provide a modified gas pedal for $40 extra
This kit will work in any Ford, Lincoln, Mercury 460. It was originally intended toward 1987- 1986 - 1985 - 1984 -1983 - 1982 - 1981 - 1980 -  1979 - 1978 - 1977 - 1976 - 1975 - 1974 - 1973 - 1972 - 1971 - 1970 - 1969 - 1968 - 1967 - 1966 - 1965 - 1964 Ford trucks, bronco, 4x4 4wd 2wd automatic manual transmission F100 F-100 F150 F-150 F250 F-250 F350 F-350. This system will work in tons of applications anything that has a 429 or 460 (385 series engines).

If you currently have a 351m, 351 modified, 400m, or 400 modified a 460 will bolt right up to the transmission.

We also have blocks on hand and can also build full turn key engines.  If you are interested in having us do the conversion please contact Russell at 720-345-4146

Call the included phone number bellow if outside of the continental United States and we can calculate a shipping cost.

My name is Russell and you can contact me with any questions at 720-345-4146

Bentley Hybrid setup works across Bentley’s range of engines

Mon, 28 Apr 2014

You’ll be able to have a hybrid powertrain across Bentley’s range of engines With car makers increasingly hidebound by ever more stringent economy targets, even makers of the world’s most expensive, luxury cars are having to play ball. Which explains why Bentley has decided to go the hybrid route for their cars, with the debut of the Bentley Hybrid, a Mulsanne with the 6¾ litre V8 under the bonnet aided by an electric motor and a bank of batteries, at the Beijing Motor Show. It seems the Bentley hybrid solution – which is claimed to increase power by 25 per cent and improve emissions and economy by 70 per cent – is very similar to that used across the VW Group range, with an electric motor between the engine and transmission fed by a bank of batteries.

The Ferrari 250 GTO and TR

Mon, 28 Apr 2014

Sitting in a line under the unforgiving rays of the sun was an astonishing sight: A 375MM Ferrari followed by a four-cylinder Ferrari 875 and three of the most famous cars of all: A 250TR, 250GTO and a 250LM, the last car to win Le Mans for Ferrari. They were not roped off, and the enthusiastic but respectful attendees were free to get as close as they wanted to better admire and take photographs of them. But this was only the beginning.

Koenigsegg planning an entry-level car – but it’ll still cost £500k

Sat, 26 Apr 2014

Koenigsegg are planning an entry-level car at half the price of the Agera R (pictured) Think of the cars that Christian von Koenigsegg has made since he started with the CC8S in 2002 and you think of them as extremes of the supercar genre; the Swedish engineering take on the bloated and massively complex Bugatti Veyron. Christian’s men in a shed in Sweden have gone on to make a series of progressively quicker and more impressive supercars, through the CCR, CCX and the Agera and on to the current most extreme iteration – the Koenigsegg One:1. But it looks like Christian has decided that his ambition to create the world’s greatest hypercar leaves room for a ‘Lesser’ Koenigsegg, a car that still has innovative engineering and extreme performance but comes at a lower price.
