Rembrant Posted April 21, 2020 Author Share Posted April 21, 2020 I would run what Ford recommends which is 192° or 195° I believe. Edit: As Jim said on the oil, I run 10w30. I use Valvoline “conventional”, I guess it’s called now, or NAPA oil. And a Motorcraft, Wix, NAPA or Purolator filter. Figured I'd move the Ford specific parts of my RV discussion over to this thread. For the Garagemahal, I'll consider this to be an E350 460 EFI E40D Dana project, and keep the RV portion out of it. In any case, I did finally piece together an almost complete correct* air intake system for the 460 EFI, with some NOS parts from Texas and some ratty old parts removed from a junked cube van in Connecticut. In the end I paid way too much for all of this stuff, but I wanted to get everything back to a baseline with this thing. I also have to remove all of the propane conversion wiring, and I haven't even started that yet...ugh. This is what the old now inop propane conversion looks like under the hood... The new/old stock air intake assembly waiting to be installed: It actually got busted up in shipping, but I was able to repair it and get it cleaned up: Something I was missing was the correct tube/line for the crankcase breather. I went out to the junkyard on Sunday to wander around and I found a crankcase breather line still intact on a 1991 F350 w/460, so I snagged it, and removed the fitting from the airbox end. I'll just buy some 1/2" hose for this, but I needed this end to properly connect the crankcase breather/filter in the airbox. Anyway, we're on the road to recover with this thing. I also picked up new gaskets for the throttle body, EGR, and IAC. Going to try and get a whole bunch of stuff done to this thing in one big swoop once I have all of the parts ready to roll.

Yes, it does look good. And getting everything together to install is my way of doing it. But don't worry about posting the RV part on the Garagemahal/Bullnose Bible. It doesn't seem to car.

Gary, For what it's worth, returning the entire intake system on this thing back to stock will probably do nothing other than lighten my wallet, but the psychological effect will be huge for my mild (sometimes severe) OCD...lol. You can move these new comments back over to the RV thread if you wish Gary. I just figured I'd keep the non-Bullnose stuff out of general population...lol. While not Bullnose related, you guys have been very helpful on the 460/E4OD/Dana topics that I am an extreme rookie with;). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We aren't picky. Bill's got his LeBaron on here, I have the boat somewhere, and Ray's talking about a Crown Vic. The thing that brought us together is Ford trucks, but that doesn't mean that's all we have in common. So why not talk about them as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So why not talk about them as well? I agree with Gary there Cory. We all have one interest that brought us all together but that's not our only interest, which is another thing we all have in common. We have many interests that together makes us interesting. Bill also has a Chrysler LeBaron, Gary has a boat and his grand kids and I am also working at putting my Town Car back together and also my garden. When I get some more money I'll be getting a starter for the Town Car from DB Electrical and putting it back on the road. I will also have a tiller I will be repairing as well, with pictures.
