Hello, I bought a 91 5.0L that was converted to a carb setup. I was considering putting it back to EFI. I have read the tech article on conversion to carb and it looksvery expense and could be a big hassel to put it back. I have a 67 coupe I was thinking of putting it in to use as a daily driver and wanted the fuel injection for driveability. Any thoughts on this, thanks.

Are you trying to convert your '67 to EFI? If so, it is not too difficult, and if you stick close to a stock build, is not too expensive. Look at JamesW's website for a pretty detailed writeup.

If you're trying to make the job easier, the fordfuelinjection.com harness and ronmorrisperformance.com fuel system make it a breeze.

Good luck!

Carburetors have good drivability as well if you use a good one and the car is tuned properly. If drivability is your only concern then there's no need to go to EFI, and it'll save you a ton of money. If you don't know how to tune a carb precisely, and/or want better mileage then yeah, EFI. Try scavenging a factory system from a 5.0 out of a junkyard car, prolly be the cheapest way.

Yes i was thinking of converting my 67 to EFI. I still have a way to go yet before I get to the engine but I have a 5.0L and an old 351. The 5.0 runs and I need to rebuild the 351 so once I get the front suspension, engine bay and cowel done I may drop in the 5.0. Thanks for all the information,I didn't even think of going to a junk yard. thanks again.

well if the wiring harness was left intact..it'll make life easier to swap back...but if not......[:@]..and you'll need to convert the fuel system back to efi capabilities and need an intak throttle body, mass air meter..throttle linkage..ect.ect......it could be a fairly expensive task
