'84 Bullnose with Bricknose 5.8?

In searching various areas of CraigsList, it sometimes populates with vehicles on the other side of the border. (This one in WA).

Check out the engine...was that swapped in from a Bricknose or later OBS truck? Nothing there on details other than the engine was replaced.

Best clue seems to be the alternator. Looks to be later than the 2g found in the bricknose.

Actually, looks like something I would try to do!

I thought the lettering on the EFI intake looked like Bricknose era...

I mean, it's supposed to be carbed.

The EFI'd 5.8L didn't happen until well after the Bullnose era ended. And that's a 3G alternator, which happened in the 90's.

Very true. There was not an EFI at all before 85 and I know the 87 5.8 HO was still carbureted. That 84 is no doubt a conversion.

I wonder if its actually an 86 EFI that someone did some mods to? Could it be he has the wrong year listed? I mean we are assuming he's correct on the year...so...

Wasn't it only the 302 that was EFI in '86? I thought the 351 didn't go EFI until 87 or 88 no?

I don't know. I assumed there was EFI available across the board. I'm probably wrong then. I usually am when I assume something.

The 1986 brochure says the engines were: 4.9L, 5.0L EFI; 5.8L HO, which has the Holley 4bbl; 7.5L 460 w/a Holley 4bbl; 6.9L diesel.

And that upper plenum on that engine says 5.8L EFI, and that didn't happen until well after the Bullnose era - but I don't know when.
