Thank you Pete. I still don't know if I am going to do this right now. I am still trying to decide if I want to be done with the powerstroke for now and go another direction. I think that I could do this without much hassle, but am on a pretty tight budget, and don't want to spend a lot of money on the engine right now. The engine only has 98,000 miles on it and is in pretty good shape. I am going to go through the entire engine and replace every seal and gasket as well as port and polish the stock heads for a little more flow. I can have the heads done for free, so I thought why not. Also, I thought about switching to a mustang intake manifold. Is there any benifit to doing this or am I just wasting my time. Thank you for the replies thus far and I now plan on leaving the engine EFI, mainly for the ease of different things you can do with EFI.
