5.8L conversion? Impressive. What's your setup as far as engine mods, tranny, EFI/Carb, etc.

There's only a few 5.8L swap members here...one of which is California CARB approved. But I believe he's the only EFI 5.8L swap here. Most are 289/302 based since those blocks have so much more aftermarket support for Rangers, and of those, it's a fair mix of EFI and Carb with most people preferring Carbs.
