[actobler]

i need some ideas on what to do to sup up my 96 f250 with the 460 i would like to know what i can do for a build i want it to be nasty

Before I get into what needs to be done for them to be "nasty", how good are you with custom wiring and whatnot?

[actobler]

as long as i know where the wire is going im ok with it. but from sratch not so good

Well the issue is the fuel injection system the 460 uses. (ive got a 96 460 truck also). Its not really designed to accept any change so even a throttle body upgrade can screw it up. To do it right you need to start from scratch and adapt a mass air system onto it. Its either a junk yard pull with some long nights with wiring diagrams. Or just buy a kit but that can be 1600 bucks if not more

[actobler]

ok. if i had diagrams i could do it. and whats that let you do to?

[actobler]

now i dont know much on modfing the efi that why im asking for help/tips and what else i can do for performance upgrades..

[kanuck15]

with a mass air system it can handle changes like a new cam, high flow exhaust and intake. The old system relies on vacuum to make its adjustments to any change in that will throw the system off

Dump the EFI and go back to a Carb setup. Hell the '68 460 in the Lincoln was rated at 365hp and 535tq at 2800 rpm stock.

You want to make some power, bore and stroke it to 557 cu in and put a set of Jon Kaase P-51 heads on it, 10:1 compression, and a good carb setup. You can make 700hp all day long with that setup. He sells a 520 in motor that makes over 800/740 if you want a crate engine.

If only I had the money for that kinda stuff, I have to make my power for cheap
