Hey all, new to the forum but a long time reader!!I'm putting my truck through another phase. Pulled out the built carb converted 357 sbf out of my 90 f150 sold most of it off in order to fund a turbo 4.9 Maf obd 2 swap, so far my parts bin consists of a 96 4.9 complete with ecu, harness, m5r2 and everything to make it work. I've been looking at a precision turbo 65/67 collecting dust at work. Tuning won't be a problem as i have access to everything to do it (dynojet, software, etc.) Engine is torn down to short block, has 370k kms and I don't see much for wear. Ordered a complete gasket set, a felpro 1024 head gasket, arp head studs. Going to port the head, may go with bigger valves if I can find a way to do it on the cheap like Chevy valves or something. Running stock cam and lifters with joe gibbs racing oil, putting in stiffer valve springs. Probably run meth injection and pump gas,
here's what I need from you guys:
Anything I should add to this build? Haven't looked into intercooling or boost control yet if someone could point me into that direction, bassically the purpose of this build is because I want it daily drivable no matter the season no matter the journey. What should I look at for Injectors? From what I've read the obd 2 swap is going g to be a bit of a challenge so I am seeking 96 4.9 ecu pinouts and if anyone has done this swap I need pointers before I hang myself with all the wiring. What should I look at getting for a clutch? Is there a way to make a shortshifter?
