Default Converting my RE to a RH

Hey guy new to the site! Here's the run down of the engine I built

360 punched 30 over
Iron rams with 63cc 2.02 valves
Cam 512/512 112lsa 210/220 duration
Hughes adjustable 1.65.1 rockers
Hughes air gap
24lb injectors
Long tubes
Sct tuner with unlimited tunes by Sean
Wideband A/F ratio gauge

Problem is my wide band was saying from idle to me pinning the pedal the gauge would read a perfect 14.5 and fall back towards lean at 15.7 and slowly climb its way to rich as the rpms climbed! It would even pop out the intake once in a while, I told Sean at hemi fever and he told me it should have plenty of fuel I got some type of mechanical problem now, I've done test after test and payed people to look at it, changed fuel pumps, and I just bought another fuel pump a walbro 255lph just to have peace in mind it's not hooked up yet but nobody can find a mechanical problem because if you stomp the pedal anytime past 2500rpm the truck just ****s and gets!

So I told Sean at hemi fever he says I have a problem still there's nothing wrong with his tunes....so I payed another person to take a look at it, he said watch your air fuel gauge, and he unplugged the engine coolant temp sensor and the truck instantly idled richer, told me to take a lap around the block like that, I was shredding my 35s!!!! When I stomped it from idle the truck came out side ways the wide band never went back to lean and slowly come back to rich it went right to 12.5! He said the is tricking the PCM to think the engines running cold and its dumping more fuel in?

So I also ordered a bigger set of injectors, hemi fever is still saying its not the tune, so if the bigger injectors don't fix it with the walbro 255 I'm going to carb this sucker cause I'm tired of paying people to not listen to me!

So now that you got the 411 I was wondering do they make a valve body conversion kit? And can it be done that way or will I have to go purchase a 46rh?

Sounds like you need a new Or sensor , not a transmission.

I would not suggest going backwards like that or ever using any automatic transmission. If you are set on doing it though you would need the whole transmission. I'm getting close to pulling mine in favor of a manual.

There is no converting RE to RH, you would have to replace the trans. There is no way to install a mechanical governor in the RE trans.

You might try playing with the fuel sync to help stop the popping through the TB and it should help with your fuel trim as well.

Got a hold of A&A transmission, they have a valve body that is full manual, which ill use my B&M

I don't have popping through the intake anymore with that ect sensor unplugged and the computer is tricked into dumping fuel, carb it is, if I got to put this RH in instead ill just have to do the extra work
