1986 F150 step Supercharger/motor build

I am going to be installing a GT40 crate and paxton in the next month or so and wanted to start thread.Because I will have Numerous questions.

The truck has a EFI 302 in it already.Things I will be tackiling.

Converting to MAF.I have computer for the AOD tranny from a 89GT.
I do need to make a harness and I have two donnor harness plus the one in truck.
Also have a 70MM MAF and 24LB injectors along with BBK SSI intake.

So with that said anything I shouldnt do or do that you all have done already.

This is NOT going to be a Race truck it is my toy.I drive it daily when weather is nice.No rain or snow.
use it to go to cruise nights and ocastional fun at dragway so Please dont hate on me for not going with big block.

Oh yeah is there a way to totally remove the TFI module from distributor..What I mean is? Will some sort of mallory or MSD box replace the need for that goofy thing stickin out of the side of distributor.

Money isnt really an issue but I do like to be thrifty

here is a pic of truck..

The hood scoop is custom, off a 69 chevelle the center section was grafted and the hood has a functional vaccum flapper.

Rear is C notched frame and 1 leaf out of spring with 4 inch blocks under springs. I also have coil overs under there. There is 20 inches off each side of the 9 inch rear end.

The front frame was cut and grafted a 87 vette front clip.


Thanks for compliments.

MAN... that truck is tight. You gatta keep us posted on how that project is going. A lot of guys lift the 70's - 80's - 90's F-series, but to have a lowered stepside look that good is almost a crime. Keep up the great work and I am sure others on the forum want to hear updates on your project.

Hello reserino. How much power are you expecting to make? 24lb injectors will only feed 300-325 hp safely. 32's will take you up to 425. If you're pushing over 400 I would upgrade the pump and perhaps fuel lines.

What TFI? There's too much machinery to see it anyway... BTW - nice truck, if nobody has mentioned that yet.
