71 F100 SB 4x4 Edel Pro-flo 4 EFI install

[My427stang]

Thought I would show some updates of my old F100

I built a 461 FE, ported iron, Comp custom hyd flat tappet cam, 9.75:1, .041 quench, and did a quick cam break-in and dyno pull on a Duaspark 2 and 850 Holley, with the ported Edelbrock EFI intake on it and injectors hanging. We didn't bother tuning, it was a little fat, and just wanted to see what it liked for timing and break in the cam. It made 490 HP @ 5000, and 554 ft lbs of torque. Two different runs here, but you can see, nice flat curve even with a ported Victor intake. it's a baby compared to most of the FE strokers I do for others, but what a joy in a 4x4 pickup





I put it in the truck, drove it for a while with a 3310 750 and the Duraspark to get an idea of power and performance, and then hooked up the EFI



I made a goofy video at initial start up, wires everywhere (all cleaned up now) however, it ran really well. The fuel pump needs to go, but I had a slight air leak on the suction side and it's significantly quieter, but not quiet enough.

At this point, I am tweaking the program, letting it learn a bit, but it is incredibly well behaved around town already and getting better. 14-15 inches of vacuum is great for power brakes, and it's super mellow mellow until you drop the hammer. I need to modify my pedal to allow full throttle, so I can't really tell if it's making more power, but I believe it is more responsive and likely will be equal or better to the carb, as my big FEs tend to like airflow

Enjoy!

Nice looking setup! Thanks for sharing.

Woohoo...

I'd love to hook a prop onto the end of that many ft pounds of Ford to show the chebbyu boyz what real power is!

Congrats on a nice build! What fuel cell or original tank?

Nice. That fuel pump is obnoxious...

Indeed, it is a little better, I had a slight leak on the input side, found when I had some fuems after sitting overnight, but still unacceptable

It's a very good pump, but Deaschwerks said "You picked the right pump, but the loudest one we sell" LOL I have two FEs to dyno and deliver this weekend, then I will come up with a plan. I have a nice big quiet Mallory, but it hangs below the frame and seems to not look right for a 4x4, even if it never goes off road.

I used the original tank and added a pickup, and use the original feed as a return, all NiCopp lines, here is the inprocess pic. If the paint wasn't recent, I may have considered an under bed tank, but this is a nice tank and works well. I have considered an aftermarket fuel cell behind the seat, and still may, but wanted to make sure the EFI was happy before I made even more changes.

Awesome job!
Congrats on the HP!

You could of used a pump from a 7.3 power stroke they are the same style as in mounting and plumbing BUT a lot quieter. Lol but it looks good and to hear it helped the drivability of it. The price for those kits aren’t that bad when you figure buying a good new carb and all the stuff to jet it right.

I'm a newbie and dont really know what any of this stuff means. But I can see the squiggly lines going up so I'll say nicely done!
