I was told to intercept the 038 radial and passed through it. Was told fly direct to IWA VOR and then given vectors. On a short final [we] lost power to engine and touched down short of the runway and rolled out on the runway. I was unable to make it to a taxiway shutting down the runway for 5 to 10 minutes until I was able to start the engine and taxi to the ramp. No damage was done to the plane or runway. Due to the heavy work load of Class B airspace I ran a fuel tank dry on final and was too close to the ground to switch tanks.
BE35 pilot experiences engine failure on short final due to fuel starvation. Too low to switch tanks; the approach is continued to a landing short of the runway with roll out on the runway. No damage or injuries are reported.
