460 F350 Better mpg and power intake mod
Hey guys whats up!
So in this vid, I'm showing you how to do an air horn delete on a '94 Ford F350 460/7.5. The reason behind this is to increase air flow to the engine in turn gaining gas mileage and power output. This mod is free and easy, it should take about 10 mins, all that's required is a flat head screw driver and a hack saw along with something to clean up the edges. It feels more powerful and as if it has un-corked some power after this mod.
Gas Mileage- Before: 8-9 Mpg After: 10-11 Mpg
This may not be everyone's results but this helped my truck, and I still recommend it!

I just got a 95 F350, E40D, 460ci, 8ft bed, super crew cab(4dr). This truck was 100% bone stock. Cutting the air horns off made an incredible difference in throttle response. Now I can do a burn-out! Night and day compared to stock OEM. I will post MPGs soon after I burn both tanks. Great vid. Thanks!

How’s your mpg doing
The air snorkel is good because it pulls cold air from the front, vs the warm air in the engine bay.
460 is a good motor simple to work on and not as much maintaince as a diesel. Unless you are heavy hauling car haulers all the time you dont need a diesel.

@HZB OcYpcWr'Ctwu Odzs from 91 to 99 anything you can do with a 7.3 you can do with a 460.
That's a good mod on an EFI 460 . Gains are minimal, but for free, one can't complain. Don't remove the snorkel or cut it short. The cold air it normally provides helps performance. If you do anything to it, remove the rain/snow flap behind the grille. (That turns it into a mild ram air setup on 87-91 models, as theirs aren't behind the grille
The "velocity stacks" are actually there to dampen the sound coming out from the intake. Note most cars have strange designs where the intake filters are - these are all to keep the sounds of the engine down.
I have a 97 f350 xlt on a 5inch lift with 35 inch tires. I did this and holy cow! I got really curious and it does make a difference! The 5speed is loving the air flow.

I did ran a dual in dual out high flow cat on my 1988 with a set of headers and Flowmaster muffler ran dual 2.5 inch Wich really woke her up. Intake only helps when you cure the constipation in exhaust. I know many people don't think the TB spacers are worthless but I found it really helped with throttle response.
I used a 7/8" hole saw and on the lower and sides of my airbox (dirty side of filter) I added about 7 new holes for air to get into the airbox, made a big difference and sound when you get on the pedal. Just make sure you do not get into deep water puddles:-)

Dude, glad to see you have a channel. Would love to see more content!
The Air box inlet tube has a lip which hooks to the left at the front end where it passes through the front cowl / radiator support. Causing the inlet to be (side) draft. Take a hack saw to that sucker too. This lets air come straight in. That whole air tube setup is wretched. It starts out small. Gets larger. Bends several times. . Might be better off just taking it off all together.
The intake "tube" that goes from the air box to the front of the truck is a great part. It is a true factory cold air intake and is better then what comes in the Bronco's and F-150s. Purchase some 120' of DEI cool tape and wrap your intake to lower the amount of heat the tubs are soaking up. Also, K&N drop in replacement filters do good in these trucks. One thing I did on my C-350 is cut the elbow at the inlet side of the tube so fresh air could get pushed into the filter box as you drive down the street. If you would like more info PM me.

I wish I understood this so I could do it to my 97 f250.
I didn't notice a great difference after this mod, however I did some work on the ignition which did make a difference. First I replaced wires, MSD 8mm,then plugs, Motorcraft. Then put an extra 2 degrees of timing into it. Factory was 20 I took it to 12 with no signs of pinging on 87 pump gas. Finally a K&N filter in the stock air box, haven't tried it yet with the intake tube removed as I figured any gains maybe be negated by the hotter less dense air from the engine compartment. Now I'm seeing a solid 10 around town and 13 highway. That's with the air on hi.

Hay man....whose idea was it to put a set of empty binoculars on an engine!!
I have a 1991 F-150 with the 302 Windsor and I have the same airbox. You can cut it or you can just take it out. I leave mine in for car shows but take it out for that little boost. The front is heavy restriction but also where it connects to the airbox is another huge constriction. Once you open it up there's nothing to restrict the air from coming in. No lie the first time I drove after removing it I burned rubber and pissed my pants cause of the difference.
I done this mod to my 1990 Ford E350 with a 460 and I for sure seen a increase I didn't believe it until I tried it but I'm a Believer now... thanks for the good information

Remove the intake baffles and open up the airbox inlet . Also you can put lighter advance springs in the distributor, Better plugs and wires along with a Red MSD cap and a MSD 6AL ignition box instead of the stock motorcraft ignition module. Your throttle response , torque , HP and mileage will increase . Noticed gains in performance in fact
@dizzy4303

Gorilla Cookies how would the 6AL work with the distributor setup? It would be used in place of the stock ignition? Would that be a plug and play type of setup? I have already added new wires and plugs, and a new stock replacement distributor. Not MSD but it's new and works well.
My 96 F250 with a 460, E4OD, 2WD long bed gets around 8MPG, so considering the 4WD and 1 ton your original MPG didn’t sound too bad to me, but I feel your pain. Low teens MPG would be tolerable. I’ll give your mods a try.
It acts as a venture and should cool the air. The maximum the engine can intake is less then the size of the smaller holes, no restriction, just colder, so denser and more 02 for more power.
38 thumbs down for people who prefer airflow restricted to their engines. I am guessing they are a big fan of restrictor plates in Nascar also.
When these trucks were on the road in the 90's, that part was not considered a velocity stack. They are actually there to keep the noise down under throttle, especially when towing or going up an incline. 90's model Ford Rangers had a removeable insert in the duct from the airbox to the TB. I believe it was Truckin' magazine that performed the same mod and gained 20 HP on a dyno pull.
So 2 years later, how are the modifications going?
Ive a 90 f250 4×4 with auto. Just added RV Cam and smog delete... was getting 11 w/1500 lb load.. going to check my mileage and then do this and EGR delete.. saw video by Bad Tree Productions on Holley Sniper bolt on.. seemed to be a good power add..
My 94 F250 xlt 460 with 5 speed trans, 4x4 on 33" stander cab. the best i have seen is 13.5 mph and im happy
I'm going to get a 1992 F350 that is 460 gas as well. Thanks for the knowledge and ideas!
Great Video, thanks for the tips, if you could change the jetting on the intake you could fine tune it after the exhaust upgrades.
Cut air box a inch under the filter if it's a square like panther 4.6l. I'd if these are same or not. But engine is a big air pump. Faster and colder in, faster less restricted out, more everything better.
I’ve had both of the diesels & I can say that the MPG is way better, but after having both it would be nice to have a f350 460 that is a good runner just for the power not the mpg I’ve got an idi for mpg that’s my daily.

Velocity stacks are backwards to the intake sound dampeners those "air horns" really are. Velocity stacks would be the big end towards the air filter and bigger than the intake side so the air is slightly compressed going into the manifold.

Recently did this to our Airstream E350 and noticed some better airflow for sure. But I have also noticed that it is idling higher than it did before, or maybe it's just louder and I'm imagining it. Not concerned with gas mileage to be honest, I know to expect dogshit mileage, I would just like it to perform its best and be reliable doing so. It definitely feels like it's restricted in some regard, and I believe it is the smog system doing so.

Those velocity stacks are useless unless they air going directly into the intake runner. Every bend is a restriction so a velocity stack right before a 90 degree bend is canceling itself more or less. Heck put a turbo grind cam in it and a turbo on 7 pounds of boost and keep your foot out of it and you'll increase economy due to the added power.
the cones are for noise control only. did this mod 5 years ago. makes the roar of the engine louder on the intake side.(can hear it sucking air). its a big bore with a longish stroke and no variable valve timing and no real way to tune.. get use to ten mpg.

Anybody who says they get more than 10 in one of these trucks without a maf conversion either cant do math or is straight up lying. These trucks consistently get anywhere from 8 to 11 mpg. Do not do electric fsns if you plan on towing already tried it and went back to mechanical. Most mods you will notice will come from exhaust, doing a maf conversion kit and installing a water meth kit. Anything past that the engine needs to be opened up and alot of money needs to be spent to fix the garbage heads and comp ratios these engines have
sounds good.
Tires looked bald to begin with, so of course traction will be lost. Power feel is just a "Feel good factor", just like you get after washing your vehicle. Right out of the carwash and people will swear their car gained 40hp and kept up with a sportscar.

@@ssimon64 1996 and 1997 California 460 trucks that were under 10k gross weight got the MAF system, which is why you never see it in the F-Super Duty ones. You can take a Mustang or Bronco computer (I forget which catch codes), or one from a Lightning (perfect because it already had an E4OD), rejigger the wiring harness and put a chip in the ECM port, you have MAF. It's more involved than that, but that's the basics. The easiest way, is to find the original parts from a 460, and slap them on your truck.

@@alanwoodwind5265 I bought a 89 460 truck F350 4X4. It actually has the C6 transmission so I don't have to worry about controlling the transmission. I've been reading and learning about how the SD system doesn't really like mods, so I'm considering the options of going MAF or just switching to a carb.

I’m looking at a 94 E350 (not called that back in the day) motorhome with the 460 and just 45k miles, doesn’t blow any smoke anything I should check for before dropping some cash tomorrow afternoon? higher compression still I suppose? It has a much smaller engine compartment but I’m hoping it’s the same cold air setup though I doubt it and don’t recall offhand. I’ll definitely look for velocity stacks, heat wrap the exhaust where possible to lower temps, etc. Going to wait and gather some before data, after K&N and plugs/wires if necessary, then after these mods. Even a single mpg increase above 10mpg is 10% which isn’t a small amount of gain!

Just bought one with almost 56k and drove it home a couple of hours ago. Need to fix a few things but it drove out great. Leaving for Florida from Iowa in three weeks in it, so anything that I can do that's cheap or free is a bonus for MPG.

His check engine light was already on. Probably due to vacuum leaks. These motors are notorious for that. 460 efi guys sell actual smog delete kits and manifold upgrades. Check them out.
Just install a cold air intake
what is the exact name of that part??
So how's she running these days?
I want one put in my 92 250 xl
Remove the PCV replace it with a breather . You don't want dirty air looped into your top end without being filter 1st.. or at least run a hose before the filter . REMOVING PCV INCREASE POWER AND MILAGE AND ALOT LESS WEEAR ON THE TOP END . WHY WOULD ENGINEERS DO THAT ., SERVICE IS WHERE THE MONEY AT . FOR CAR DEALERS. Also wrap your cat up tight with heat wrap keep the heat in ,the hotter the better it burns more efficient your cat and exhaust system is. Just those 3 things better air flow . No PCV wrap up the cat . Your going to see 351 mileage. With increased horse power
I have gotten 18mpg out of my f350
did you lift your truck? what wheels are this?
Hey I have a 95 f350 with the 460 and I’m about to do a oil change and the filter, I was wondering how many quart of oil does it take ?

How did it effect the mpg
If it was turbocharged it would be way better
Is that a check engine light during first start up and drive ? In Texas that will fail an inspection quicker than anything.

Get in the dash and take some pliers and Smash the check engine light. Works until about 2012. Guy I knew did it to his 2012 Honda and the car wouldn't start once he crushed the check engine led. It was very common for people remove dash lights or block it out or something. We got rid of inspection stickers. Because only state troopers could issue tickets for them here. It's a state requirement not local. All they did was check horn and lights windows for tint and cracks. Whether it was a dealership or a quick lube the sticker is always blank on the back. No one ever filled them out ever. Have illegal tint give the kid a jiffy lube a 20 dollar tip get a sticker slapped on and tint pass sticker and off you go. They were only 5 dollars but much cheaper to give them a 20 keep the change then to fix a cracked windshield or something. And maybe 30 percent of time did anywhere actually check the lights and horn. If you looked like a working man you were in and out. No emissions laws in Mississippi we remove our cats and put real exhaust in. Every car or truck I've removed the Cats on a nice jump in mpg. I'd rather get better gas mileage and better performance then to burn more gas and be less responsive. Open carry, car is extension of your home except locked compartments. So you can ride with one in the chamber legally. Just like your house, no emissions laws, no state inspection stickers anymore, and fuck roe Vs Wade, our heartbeat abortion laws. I'd never tell a woman what to do with her body. But it's not her body she wasn't born with the baby inside her. It's just a clump of cells it's not life. All you are is a clump of cells heart bone, organs etc. If your not a life then ok it's not a life. Rape and incest make up less the 1 percent of abortions yearly. And I'll Concede incest genetic DNA problems. Or any health issue that threaten the mother. But for rape it's a very horrible horrible thing to happen to someone. I have two sonograms in my hands which one is the baby of rape? Play god because of that you die because your dad was a piece of shit there are other options. New life has few friends but plenty of enemies. 3 guaranteed freedoms. Life,liberty, pursuit of happiness. No stipulations life is protected. At conception it's not your body anymkre. That clump of cells is the same clump of cells as you are. It can't survive without mother. Babies though elementary school would die if not for the mother. They can't take care of themselves either. We need one definition of life. If I ran a red light as she's turning into the abortion clinic it's murder times 2. If I kill her in her house the forensics are going to find 2 separate DNA samples. They would know two people were involved. It's it's not a life why isnt it a clump shower instead of baby. Men get no say she can keep the baby and force child support or she can get a abortion up till and birth you can have post birth abortions 2 weeks. They keep them alive until they have patients lined up for the organs then the baby dies. The rich people get the organs for there kids. Listen to the governor of Virgina on camera say we will resuscitate the baby, we will keep the baby warm and comfortable and then mother and Dr will have a discussion on to do next. This is infanticide. If a man decided two weeks later he wants a abortion be goes to prison for murder and even prisoners are rough on him. For women you can habe your baby aborted two weeks after birth for organ harvesting and it's health care. Safe legal and rare is no being told is health care. Name anythint a man can do a women can't? A man can't start a heart beat of a human and be cheered as a hero. Unless woman are born with embroys from birth and she has 20 toes 20 fingers penis and vagina's, multiples of the same organs. Teeth etc. Rant over shit really pisses me

NOT crankcase breather (which attaches to a PCV like 'filter' in the lower part of the airbox}. This hose supplies filtered air to the idle air circuit, which enters the intake manifold right below the throttle butterflies.

Bolt ons and a small cam, older timing chain setup, will get the desired horsepower easily. I recommend using a zf-5 and if it's a daily driver go with a fuel injection engine. You'll get better power and reliability.
Your losing a minimum of 2mpg on that tread and flex of tire. E rated tires dont often look as cool but will provide a stiffer tire and wear less.
