EZ-EFI

[Sparx Macgyver]

Just found this in one of my car mags. Old issue. I actually only have one of the articles left, due to a water pipe-bursting incident at my uncle's. The article is about painting your own car (neat article), and one of the ads is for this EZ-EFI system. It actually looks pretty darn nifty. I'm assuming it would work for our trucks, although I didn't see anything disclaiming it wouldn't. The site says Ford 302, and that's what I have. They also have another system called XFI.

Personally, although it's out of my budget by far (at least in comparison to other things I need to fix/take care of), if I were to ever go EFI on my truck, this looks like the way to go. Rather than mod the engine or swap out for one, pop this thing o where the carburetor goes. What do you guys think??

For EFI on a 302 it's pretty darned hard to beat just getting a beat up '89 and up Mustang and doing the EFI swap or even the whole 5.0 5 speed setup. Hardest part is the electric fuel pump and return lines to the tank and doing something for the cable clutch setup if you go 5 speed. I did my '68 Ranchero way back in '96 and it's dead nuts reliable. Wiring was simple enough, 10 or so wires to be hooked up for power and grounds.

Actually, it's something I'm considering, maybe not that system above, as it's a bit pricey, but EFi in general. Hell, I'd love the 5 spd! But as I said, I ran across this again, and thought I'd share. I thought ti was pretty cool. Maybe if I didn't have to pay an arm and a leg....

i prefer the tbi kits, mainly due to the pita the ford intake design--i am all carbed presently, but plan on getting or building a tbi type in the future

i converted my 89 5.8 from efi to carb and it was like getting a brand new engine--the late 80's and early 90's wiring harnesses are a problem area--so if u do convert either build your harness or buy aftermarket

Thanks for the tip. I'll put that down on my list of stuff, right next to the EFI/TBI entry.
