New guy swapping a F100 Hello to everyone!
I finally have a reason to join this forum! After a couple of mild build projects (jeeps and diesels) Im finally building myself something fast! I have a 1977 Ford F100 Reg short bed 2wd currently with the 351 Cleveland/ auto trans and 9" rear. I bought from a close friend a fresh rebuilt 6.0 with these specs:
Gen 3 LQ4, new oil pump, honed cylinders, rings and bearings
243 LS1 heads completely rebuilt and milled .030= should be 10:8 to1 with PAC 1219 springs
TSP trunnion upgrade, TSP hardened chromoly rods
TSP 228/232 .600 lift on a 112 LSA
currently has truck intake with 33 lbs L59 flex fuel injectors.
Not really sure what the engine will put down. I know it needs larger injectors. I plan to upgrade the fuel system and intake, just don't know with what yet. Im still learning what all it takes for engine management for a truck that never had any of this. That's where I am at so far. Plan is also to put a 3rd pedal with a T56. I will definitely use the search bar as much as possible but Im sure Im going to ask a few repeated questions as well.

Welcome! You should be fine with the flex fuel injectors. If you are using the truck intake and return style fuel rail those injectors should flow about 36 lbs/hr @58psi.
