[AT] Part time trailer puller fuel system

[Thomas O Mehrkam]

I under that Fords present a problem. Nothing bolts up from year to year.

I purchased a brand new 454 for my 1990 Suburban in 1999. It would 
support a carb/ Port fuel injected or the new multi port fuel injection.
It has a place for the mechanical fuel pump with a cover plate over the 
hole. They were quite a number of extra holes in the block and heads so 
anything would bolt up. I was told it would replace any 454 engine.

I have been told by ford Mechanics that that is not the case with the 
ford engines.
