The 4.9 was MAF only in 1996.
Ford also went to sequential injection that same year.
Before 96 it was speed density and batch injection.

I might as well admit defeat on the 240/4.9L swap on this one; I can see it turning in to (yet another) huge money black hole.

If I can buy the truck cheep, simply regearing to a 3.07 (from my '91), a cat-back exhaust, and lightening the poor thing as much as possible whilst retaining the OEM 300 seems the only way forward possible. (Sniff-snivel-whine-moan).

Thanks for your help!

I'm in therapy myself after 11,000 posts on this forum.
It's looking like my chances of recovery are slim to none.

Maybe after you get the truck on the road and find out for sure what emissions testing it needs (If any) we can revisit this again.
I don't believe in defeat.
