Yo,
Atomic EFI in a 79 is awesome by mattgunguy;
"...Brand spanking new351m crate motor.
Did a Msd Atomic EFI swap, Msd 8580 Billet distributor, FiTech 40003 fuel command center. Mild cam. Wrapped headers. Has maybe 5 minutes run time so far.
The Atomic efi setup is awesome. Simply amazing throttle response. It is mostly a plug and play system. Between the efi setup, 6al box, and pro-billet distributor. I had maybe a few hours into install and wiring. The fuel system is more involved. I skipped that and used the Fitech fuel command center.
I am having some fuel starvation issues. I believe it's the mechanical pump not being up to the task. I plan on getting something better before long.
Rolling on 35's. Looking to do either a AOD or a E4OD with a stand alone controller trans swap before much longer..."

EFI Swap Comprehensive Article

Excerpts;
"...Fuel Injection, some are asking “why again?” Well, because many are still intimidated by all this new technology or don’t understand the advantages. So to get everyone up to speed, we are about to start one of the largest series of EFI articles ever published in a magazine. There is so much to write about and space is limited in Bronco Driver, so I can’t fit it all in one issue. This will not be one EFI article thrown together just for the sake of stating “we’ve covered it.” The Bronco Driver staff and I have a desire to give you the absolute best. So our goals for the next few months will be as follows: Explain some fundamentals of how it works Plan a fuel injection swap for the best results Swap an EFI 302 into a 1966-77 Bronco Swap an EFI 460 into a 1978-79 Bronco Upgrade a stock EFI engine for more performance Answer important questions along the way The goal to accomplish in this article is to bring as many people as possible up to the same level of understanding. To avoid answering answer a thousand help letters, I’m going to start at the beginning like we should. Why fuel injection, and why Ford’s fuel injection? I can’t answer that without starting debates and holy wars, but you still deserve a real answer. A stock 1970 Bronco 302 is rated at 140HP/233ft/lbs; while a 1990 Mustang 5.0L is rated 215HP/285ft/lbs. Ford EFI can be had at 1/3 the cost of aftermarket EFI systems. Peace of mind: not many fathers buy undependable cars for their daughters, so why should you drive one? Ford is leading other manufacturers in EFI technology development; they spent millions upon millions of dollars making sure this was the ideal system. No other system in its class has its capabilities. It can operate upside-down, even if your oil pump can’t. It will never suffer from vapor lock. Hundreds of aftermarket venders have products available for Ford’s EFI, an..."
