Does anyone have any 460 efi links?????

[ChestonScout]

I just got a 90 efi 460 that I will be putting in the Scout. I didnt pull it and it doesnt have the computer or anything like that.

Just need some good info on what I need to make the ol girl run.


Thanks!

I found out that painless wiring doesnt even make a harness for a 460. They only have one ford harness for the mustang 5.0



This project is going to suck. Hopefully it will be worth it

Looks like most of the people just make the original harness and computer work or throw some 5.o and 5.8 map sensors at them. Some general info here http://www.fordfuelinjection.com/ or check with the "Nag" Nathan swaped a 460 into his bronco and might be able to help you out

I have that exact engine in my bronco right now.....I swapped the old 400m carburated out for the 460 EFI..........I also called painless wiring and they told me to send them both wiring harnesses from BOTH trucks and they could build me one........said it would be around 3000(plus whatever I had to pay for the harness) So there was no way i could do that plus I only had my harness at the time...... After doing so research I found it would be easier to build my own so I found another truck with the harness still intack and computer/sensors.......it cost me about 600.....I spent about 15 hours cutting and splicing.......I spent most of my time on the ignition switch with wiring diagrams covering the entire work bench! I was able to get it all working and it actually fired right up once I got the right fireing order worked out!

In the end I would have gone with a totally different engine.........Love the power but it weighs around 650LBS and it was a nightmare to put in....

if you have any more ??? feel free to ask......

I dont know the weight of the 345 Im pulling but Im guess its at least 650 lbs. The IH motors were built basically like a diesel block THICK.


Did you happen to keep all the info you came up with and what sensors and everything you need? Did you make your own wiring diagram?

I wish I would have pulled the motor myself. He said the wiring was kind of hacked up but still.

Thanks for the info!!-
